I really like This or That , I project something like Cardi B or Nicki Minaj and they have to move to either side of the room depending on their choice
Hello really enjoyed, valuable. Can you make a video on how do you teach a student who is struggling to understand a concept? Really appreciate. thanks
Everything from building relationships to modeling in the classroom, just by viewing your youtube videos I can tell you are SUCH a good teacher! Would love to have a co-teacher like you in the future!
HI Amanda this is perfect timing - literally my first day of school next week (and I'm starting in a new school, second year of teaching English lit). I was just looking for ideas like this! One idea that I've done as a participant that I'd like to try with my students is getting them to order themselves in silence from youngest to oldest / most siblings to least siblings / height / eye colour. Thank you so much for the quality of your content and the charisma you project - they give me something to aspire to!
I call the "reflections" a Quick write is something I learned in an AVID training. Like you said it is amazing how it helps build relationships with the students, to the extent, that they will start opening up sharing with you what is going on in their lives, Thank you for the video!!
Great tips, thanks! I usually have them introduce themselves shortly, and then we play 1 truth 1 lie, where student would say two things, and the class should guess which fact about them was true, and which one was a lie. I teach music, so they usually talk in terms of playing an instrument, or doing other forms of art.
Hi Amanda. I teach music PreK - 8th grade. As an icebreaker I do a theater game called Name Pose. We make a circle and then each student will say their name and simultaneously strike a pose. In response the class will say the persons name and strike their pose. If a student is too shy or can't think of a pose, then they can clap their hands as they say their name. PreK has to practice the simultaneity, but this works for PreK-5 well. 6th -8th grade seem to self-conscious to participate so I'm going to try your ice breakers for middle schoolers. Thanks sooo much!
Ugh, I wish I had a solid answer for you. I just completed 6 weeks of virtual summer school and it's so different from being in the classroom. Will definitely brainstorm some ideas and make a video soon.
Are you still teaching now? You are in a great area..Secondary ed. Specialized in your forte. Interest inventory & Design of name & small pictures to answer questions on name sheet. Then circulate & share out.
Thank you so much. Just used the Speed Dating idea and the team loved it! Team here is corporate managers and senior managers...so...this is not just for kids 😅. Thanks
I've been meaning to do an updated version of this video! So crazy how much one year has changed, For sure, "speed dating" idea can be a few minutes in break out rooms and a different person every time. The others I have to think about a little more
I did not quite understand the 30 second rule and rotation-do the students move after 1 question till 30 seconds are up? And then another round begins? And are all the (pre-prepared) questions handed over right in the beginning?
Hi Amanda! I'm a second year SpEd teacher and a first year ESY teacher. My students range in age from K-2nd. This was very helpful. I think I will be able to use the 'speed dating' game with them. They won't have to write anything and the questions will be fun and engaging! Great idea!
I hate that you would say that eating meat is gross. You Have to slip in that you are vegan and the kid is gross the first day of school seriously uhhhhhh
You're offended by absolutely nothing. It's the same as when people say they don't like vegetables, or don't like sweets or any other type of food. It's a conversation starter like anything else. I also didn't call the students gross. Stop implying things that weren't said
And she didn't say "gross," it was a student responding to a comment made by another student. And yes, students will make those kinda comments; it's life.

Really needed this, much thanks!
Maybe a video about lesson planning? How to be an engaging teacher?
I really like This or That , I project something like Cardi B or Nicki Minaj and they have to move to either side of the room depending on their choice
All the way Nicki Minaj

I am a beginner teacher, I will definitely use those activities on the first class. Thanks xx
Me too, I'm a fresh teacher and absolutely i will use them..
Can you make a video about how you balance teaching with your social life?

Amanda, I love your ideas here. How are you adapting these this year for virtual?
Ugh, I wish I had a solid answer for you. I just completed 6 weeks of virtual summer school and it's so different from being in the classroom. Will definitely brainstorm some ideas and make a video soon.

Great tips! How do you rotate students so that everyone gets a chance to meet everyone?
I did not quite understand the 30 second rule and rotation-do the students move after 1 question till 30 seconds are up? And then another round begins? And are all the (pre-prepared) questions handed over right in the beginning?
