I just realized my clips reading my wordless picture book with my kids never imported to my editing software so that isn't included; are you interested in a short video talking about wordless picture books and showing that clip?

[@anitaabonita]

Yes! Definitely!! It would help sm with my reading and literacy course I’m taking now!😊

[@Chrissi15]

Yes please

[@aLonelyGirlAswirl]

Yes!

[@AllisonJobbitt]

Yes please!!

[@lotuslove6753]

YES!!!!

[@debbiekraft196]

I truly appreciate your videos. The struggle is real. Thanks for being vulnerable. Incorporating new curriculum is challenging (especially when you don’t love it).

[@mzzzzzzday]

"get your shoelace out of your mouth" the most relatable part of this video lmao. The best part about using curriculum is....if you fall off course, there is always a book to catch you. Just remember that you hopefully don't have to follow it to fidelity and you can use your own discretion

[@BfabLexie8]

I’m in Arizona and we use both HMH and 95%. Once you get the workbooks and they get into the routine, I think you will grow to love it. We have seen so much reading growth in our kids that have used this program. Love watching your videos!

[@jencgross23]

Hi!! Would you mind including your routine for math centers in a vlog? I know you have talked about center folders for reading, but id love some ideas on how to run math groups as well! ☺️

[@Gapmom2019]

I think everyone should watch this video and maybe then they would understand why teachers are so tired 😂. We have to be “on” all day! I would love to see how you explain some of your procedures (and maybe you have?) like the houses and how you have students participate with the clap and turn and talk.

[@teachingthepetites4614]

It's like putting on a show everyday for 7hrs. 😅

[@tchabc123]

Same!!!!❤

[@charlottep5480]

Great vlog! Thank you so much for sharing so much of your teaching, it’s a real privilege to be able to watch and learn from concrete real examples. Thank you 💕

[@LottyDotty05]

I use the writing super star song with my 4th graders. They love it. I didn't think the would buy into it but I hear them singing it to themselves and it has really helped with their writing especially those finger spaces!!

[@RachaelLyn]

You're always helpful! I learn so many things from you every vlog!!

[@mistybethune9116]

its funny as an adult how much a person learns from listening to you explain it to your students i never thought of the fact that vowels are usually short when they are followed by a consonant or long when it ends a word i just know how to say the word lol

[@mariluhernandez6448]

I noticed your approach is a calmer delivery… awesome🙌🙌

[@303tinamarie]

I clicked on your video and appreciate your transparency.

[@RachaelLyn]

We also use Envisions. In 2nd grade, we have to rearrange some too. We do topic 1, 2, and then 9. WHY do they have place value AFTER 2 digit addition and subtraction? I will NEVER understand! I've heard about the word problems in topic 1 in 1st. Our teachers rearrange that too.

[@swimrock9410]

I love how you read because i changed my voice and act too and the students love it and it makes them more engaged

[@catlove369]

With curriculum there is good and bad. You know what your students need to learn and review. There is never too much practice. I look through take the problems and do them like you did with ten frame or on a power point. Do not worry about going in order just put the curriculum in the order you need. If there is review page or a page, you like put it in their center folder.

[@happydisneyteacher7557]

Into Reading is a lot! I have taught for 30 years and I am working overtime trying to figure it out,too!

[@clunde0]

What resource do you use for you read alouds? I love that you go over different elements during a book.

[@torrrific22]

Yes please! I would love to know as well

[@alicepackard5207]

I have envision too! I can’t tell you how helpful you are to me. Are you going to continue to use envision or are you going to try something else? Are you using a certain writing program? Thank you for your honestly and your posts! Love them 💜

[@RachaelLyn]

We also got a new reading program. We ended up with CKLA Amplify, both skills and knowledge. It's going okay so far, but it is a LOT to get to in a day! We just finished assessing this past week, so we haven't gotten into it much.

[@sherrifry521]

I use popsicle sticks for engagement during curriculum heavy work. It doesn't work for all. But for my kinders, when I shake that container they are hooked! Everyone wants to share!

[@hannahb4386]

“Get your shoelace out of your mouth” 😂😂😂 so accurate

[@feliciac.johnson8786]

Your reader for the houses is so adorable

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Haha it was a voice filter 🤣

[@EsEdmonds]

We do Envision as well at my school. It is tough that we get one day per lesson and we HAVE to move on. I always loved how you could teach how you saw fit for your class. So understand the struggle of having to use the curriculum and go at a pace given to us. I do love that poster you showed I think with strategies. Was that from the curriculum or did you guys blow that up from something you snipped pictures of and put together yourselves?

[@ayecollette]

Hi Mayleen! Where did you get your five goals poster? :)

[@LLCoolBeans86]

How did you get your rhythm? Have you been this engaging and fun the whole time you've been teaching?

[@thatsunnyteacher1783]

You are not alone in your feelings for Envisons. I use Envisions (2nd grade) and I bought an Envisions math interactive notebook bundle from TPT... It's awesome and hands-on! I also use the practice buddy in Saavas for independent work and the additional practice sheet for homework. Honestly, it's a lot and the topics go so fast with little practice …. Plus the expectations are way too hard for my kids most times… during my first year with it, I struggled to come up with a routine I liked. I don't follow pacing lol... I stay a whole week on one topic sometimes.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I haven't looked at the practice buddy maybe I should check that out! I'm still feeling frustrated with the order and pace of envisions...I agree it is way too rushed :( and not nearly hands on enough

[@mistybethune9116]

lol i laughed when you pranced and almost wished you videoed that part

[@teachingthepetites4614]

Hi, I was wondering where I can get the sight word poem slide with the elkonin boxes? I teach mod-severe first-second, and I think this would be good for them. Thank you. Blessings!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I just wrote the poem I don't sell it as a slide haha

[@RaeleenxMarie]

Was that a checklist for the work for the week? I definitely need to incorporate this, do you have a template?

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I do it's in my google drive

[@RaeleenxMarie]

@@MrsCallsCampers I’ll check it out! Thank you very much for all of the resources you make available to other teachers! 💕

[@ilylove1]

Is it "required" for you to use the curriculum with fidelity? or are you permitted to use it more as a resource, rather than going day 1, day 2 etc.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

well we never got any official training on it! we are directed to use what we can but we have to use something. It's really unfair and unreasonable to expect teachers to teach a new curriculum with fidelity when we got it RIGHT when school started and had zero training. I'm glad my admin understands that....

[@tahteeb8506]

did you put the handwriting lines on the primary scout resource yourself?

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I did - you can add lines before you do your copies

Mrs Call that music turn up was something I don’t ever remember you playing for your past students I’m just wondering was it approved first or your school don’t mind you playing that😮😊🎉

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I played it last year all the time; no cuss words.

[@RaeleenxMarie]

I’m using Envisions too and I find the lessons boring and confusing for my second graders 😭

[@swimrock9410]

I didn't like HMH because the stories are too long and the text is not 2nd grade material in certain areas. They are boring. RGR was amazing
