Easy Ways to Teach 4th Graders How to Write Poetry
Can you share what your agenda slides look like? Thanks!
Good luck, Princess Rachel. I hope that the sub days do not "bomb" if you know what I mean. - Dwight
Memorizing is key in life.
Thank you for this I have wanted to put something together for sub plans and you’ve made it so easy!! 😊
Yay! Glad it was helpful!
I've only tried ChatGPT so far, and honestly, it's been a total time saver! I’ve never heard of Magic School AI or Curipod, but now I’m super curious to check them out. Thanks for sharing these cool tools-I’m excited to see how they measure up!
On tpt you can also make collections of your purchased files, which is helpful too
Yes! I forgot about that!
Yes! Morphology and the Templates! I teach Dyslexia therapy so I have my lessons but would love to have templates for teaching reading.
They are next on my to do list to start working on!
Really helpful, thank you!
I'm so glad you found it useful!
do you have a good grading routine you could share?
Not really a routine, I just try to grade something each day to stay on top of things.
I love magic school and I’ve only used it a little bit.
I agree!
Picture framers use a tape dispenser gun to apply double-sided tape to the back of the frame to hold the brown, paper dust cover in place. You could buy one of these to use on your bulletin board. Amazon sells them for about $50.00.
I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the tip!
❤
☺️
How do you do your class jobs
I have a video all about it: ua-cam.com/video/69r7AZX4qmI/v-deo.html
This video is super helpful, great content!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant! I am really over the fact that textbooks are not all encompassing. Things don't really change that much to where students need to "google" everything. I feel like learning has gotten lazy with the invention of the internet. You are a great teacher!
Thanks! I agree with what you're saying!
But Rachel, What do you do with students who took advantage of the sub day when you the teacher come back? - Dwight
I deal with it individually, so it's hard to say. If it was a whole class situation, I'll have students write letters to their parents explaining what happened and their role it in. But most of the time, it's a smaller group of students, so I'll have conversations with them separately and deal with it based on the student.
Rachel, I am a homeschool parent, but really enjoying your videos! Where can I find the poster right behind you about being the nice kid? I really need that in my house!
I found it on Etsy and had it printed at Staples as a blueprint, because it's cheaper than a regular poster.
2:45? 3:45!? Even if I do my contract hours, I’m out at 5:00! I feel lucky if I’m out before 7:30 😭😭
It's hard, but you have set a time you're comfortable with and leave no matter what. Will things go undone...yes, but I know for me, when I stay late, things go undone at home. So we're really deciding which area of our life are we will to let slide.
Awesome! I commend you for all this.
I appreciate you saying that!
Way to go Rachel. An organized teacher is a happy teacher. - Dwight
Yes! Thank you
My class is just chaos! The teacher last year, while he was great and a good friend, he had zero classroom management lol! The kids loved him, he was fantastic! But omg this year has been a struggle!
Yea, some years are like that. Keep trying different things until you find one that works!
Well Rachel, As long as you are reminding them without micro managing them then I'd say way to go because I am proud of you for allowing them to get their talking out because the only real time that kids ever get to talk with their friends is at school but remember that still if a student wants to talk with their friend they are going to make a way to do it regardless and the sitting down part really only works if the student is seated next to their friend or the other student who they get along well with. Just as teachers live under that dilemma of having to balance pleasing the powers that be of education with meeting student needs the students also live under that dilemma of seeing their friends while being dictated at school and being more free while being separated from their friends and being reduced to the little family bubble at home. - Dwight
Definitely not micro managing...just helping them along
Thank you! I like the only talking while packing rule. Might work for my 5th graders.
It works for the most part...our afternoons are definitely not as chaotic as in the past.
Love that you are discussing this. I don’t think enough teachers do and many first year teachers are surprised by how crazy it can be and it really does take some reflection on how to make it as smooth as possible.
Yes, even after 20 years...I'm still reflecting on how to make things run smoothly.
Love this thank you for your help
You're welcome!
I think you're very brave for saying you weren't trained and don't know. You're even braver for searching and continually growing 👍
Thank you!
Hi Rachel, Looking good in sea green today. How's everything going so far? - Dwight
Things are good!
Thank you , your channel is amazing . So I’m a preK teacher and I’m certified to teach from birth to 6th grade I want to teach older grades like 3, 4th graders but I’m not sure how hard and different it is from preK grade . I’m so nervious and your video helped thank you
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I needed this.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! I am currently going through an alternate route to become a teacher, I love that you and your team divide the work. Who suggested this? How does one go about implementing this? Thank you!
I would just ask if anyone is interested in splitting the planning. Decide who is going to plan what subjects and how you will share with each other. We create our team plans on a Google Doc and all add our subjects that we plan to the document. Then we each make a copy of the plans to make any personal adjustments.
Thanks for including where you got things too. Changing curriculum always makes it harder at first. It's nice to see another teacher taking a similar approach to me because you're right: college lesson plans are definitely different from real world practice.
So true!
I WILL WAIT FOR MORE VIDEOS
Videos are posted every Sunday at 1pm!
I LOVE IT
Thanks!
Also, do you have a link for your schedule cards. I noticed that the ones you have this year are different than the ones you have in your TPT Store.
I don't have that version posted yet. It's on my to do list!
Hi Rachel, Your class is extremely organized. Do you have a link for the green labels in your cabinet?
Thank you! I don't have them available anywhere. I just made them with a text box in PowerPoint.
@msrachelvincent Thank you. I will try that! 😃
Hi! I’ve used so many of your great ideas, especially the “keep your own supplies”. How do you handle pencil sharpening since they keep their own pencils? Thanks!
I love that! I have a pencil supervisor job and they sharpen pencils at the end of the day. I just tell students if they need a sharp pencil for tomorrow to go get their pencil sharpened.
I am starting next week as a 5th grade teacher at a Catholic school. Your room is goals for me, lol. I’m a second career teacher, though I have worked in education before. I am looking forward to having my own classroom!
That is awesome! I hope you have a wonderful year!
I love that your room is always looks calming and functional.
Thanks! This is the ultimate compliment!
Hi! Great classroom! I was wondering where you got the table management chart from? Thank you!
From TPT! Here's the link: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Behavior-Management-Brilliant-Behavior-Game-Board-Brights-9824429
Your new room looks so nice! How do you like the oddly shaped tables so far? Do you have a video on your Thursday folders and the weekly report thing you mentioned when looking at your drawer? I'm curious about your deal drawer files in general. Paper is so hard. I teach 2nd and not sure if i want to do weekly or daily folders. I'd also love to see inside a drawer or two of your rainbow paper drawers. I'm thinking of trying that because I i also like organizing by subject instead of day. Are they wide enough to stagger stack a regular sized piece of paper? What do you do if something won't fit inside them?
I have a whole video that walks through how I organize and deal with paper here: ua-cam.com/video/SMUpTPdGOHk/v-deo.html The rainbow drawers are big enough to stagger stack and the best part! I can also fit books and other materials we may need for that subject in the drawers. They are by far my favorite drawers!
Hi Rachel, Do you all still do the little dance and stuff for the birthday celebrant in the classroom? BTW, have you ever thought about doing a teacher outfit of the day video? You looked pretty in this one. - Dwight
Yes, I do still celebrate birthdays with the dance and goodies! Students love it! I appreciate the comment on teacher outfits...but honesty that's not really my cup of tea. Others social media teachers are so much better at teacher outfits!
IN MY CLASSROOM I HAVE THAT BOOK " A LETTER FROM MY TEACHER "
It's such a cute book!
I LIKE YOUR OUTFIT
Thank you!
HEY RACHEL DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A DOJO STORE LIKE TO REEDEM THE POINTS
Yes I did!
THANK YOU I RELLY LIKE THE VIDEO
Thanks!
Is it possible to get a copy of your lesson powerpoint ?
I don't have it available yet. I'm hoping to get it posted to TPT eventually.
Thank you for sharing. It's very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Thank you!
Yes, please! I would love to hear more about team-building!❤
Here's a video I have on that ua-cam.com/video/XHyZZa9Dkvs/v-deo.html and I have another video coming out soon with more team building games!
That is my scenario. School starts in a few days I was just given a classroom and it's all empty and just has desks and chairs. I am a first year high school teacher for 9th graders. I am trying to decorate and buy supplies and I have been so anxious that my room is no where near set up and I don't have nothing for the students 😢. Everything comes out of our pockets
I'm so sorry you're going through all this! Just know that decorations don't matter at the end of the day. Create things with your students. Let your students create things...build your classroom as you go this year.
@@msrachelvincent Thank you for that. Sometimes it's hard to remember we all started in a similar way. I was getting discouraged that my classroom wasn't as put together as other teachers. I went out and spent so much money and it's still nowhere near what I would like it to be.
