OMG, students LOVE having their names in word problems!!! When they create their own word problems, they use their own names and their friends' names as well. I love hearing their creations and it gives me light as to who their close friends are currently.
My studentsvare not used to work in groups and the noise level tends to be too high. I don't blame them because nobody has taught them how to do it but I'm definately trying the "waterfall" hack. Thank you lovely soul!
I too teach at a title 1 school. We try to create a “home” environment. Lots of love is given to them. Watching how a simple praise or high five changes their mindset is heart warming.
Love your videos and WBT. Our favorite call and response: (to the tune of Clementine) "Oh, my darlings'" "Yes, my teacher." Our district is Title 1, so yes, we are on stage all day.
I used to say, "Ready, Freddy, Spaghetti?" and they responded "Ready!" but if they were not ready they would respond, "Not Yetty." and that was a signal to me to give more time.
I love your ideas! I'm literally setting up my first classroom today (yr 6 teacher) and can't wait to put into practice some of the great things I have learnt from you! Would love to show you a before and after picture if you would like to see it? xx
I love all the tips! Your videos are like going to a conference for me lol I always feel refreshed, empowered and ready to try new things in my classroom right after!
I am so glad I am not the only person who does accents and funny voices to keep my kinders engaged. I love doing that or I do like some crazy movement to get their attention. We are a very curriculum based kinder class but I always try and make it fun or at least funny. Love the waterfall call and response will start using that tomorrow.
I really enjoyed your tips in this video! Your last tip about incorporating the students' names is genius. I have a pretty unique name. To this day, any time I hear my name being said (pronounced correctly of course) I instantly feel special. I will definitely be using these tips when I am finished with my degree! Thank you!
That is so weird! I enjoy doing sign language in my classroom and I was first introduced to it by my second grade teacher too!! Also I love the waterfall one, I wished I knew that before the end of the school year, but now I know it for next year.
Your Ninja routine is awesome ! I tried it out for classroom cleanup this week and it works like a charm. I noticed that especially boys are *really* into it.
As usual, love the ideas. Many of them I've used or am aware of, but appreciate the reminder so I can plug them into my classroom routine once again! Enjoy your long weekend!
I love these ideas! Oh, and by the way, I saw the same jar with a "shaker" lid at the Dollar Tree today. Just in case you ever decide you want to invest in a new lid :)
I can't wait to try the 'Waterfall' technique with my students. Thank you! Hopefully it stops me having to actually stop the class and beg them to be quiet haha.
I'm lovin the videos, and I am learning so much from you. I am a 16 year veteran teacher and continue to learn from you every day. Could you please please put the Guided Reading Template/Lesson Outline in your TPT story. I would love to use it.
Hi! I love you videos so much and catch myself watching them all the time. I'm currently a education student and am preparing to student teach in the fall. Can you please do a video with tips and tricks you would suggest for student teaching? I really aspire to be as organized and be able to handle a classroom like you!
Teacher: *stands up on table* Principal: *comes in* Students: OOOOO YOU GETTING IN TROUBLE!!! Principal's Mind: *Well as long as shes teaching. Right?*
Love this video! I'm going into my credential program this year and have been really interested in Whole Brain Teaching. Do you have a video only on this topic? Or could you make one about your experience with it?
I love your videos, but I really had to giggle when you said that the hacks are applicable to all grades: me in 13th grade biology advanced course: ARE YOU READY KIDS????!!! xD
Look up Collaborative Problem Solving. It's a great tool for any agency or school. I think the children that struggle with school are lacking in skill not motivation. Incentives, to me, are a bit outdated. I compare it to someone giving me a million dollars if I hit a home run off of Justin Verlander. No matter the incentive it isn't going to happen. Achievable goals, skill building, well trained staff and having the child involved in his or her process is the key to success.

These sitdown videos have literally become my teaching Bible. 😂❤ Thank you for your amazingly helpful teaching tips and ideas. 💕
The teacher I volunteer for uses the callback "tootsie roll, lollipop" and the kids say "we were talking, now we stop" 😁
That’s really cute!

Coffee cup in hand and now to enjoy Michelle and her tips.

I have been teaching for 28 years, but always welcome fresh ideas! Thank you for sharing!

Love your excitement! I have a challenging group of kiddos this year, I have taught for 25 years, but I do not know it all! Your ideas are refreshing!
i love call and responses! i use "eyes and ears" "engineers"!

I loved this video. You are so inspirational and hopefully this will really help with my classroom somedag
I've started using waterfall in my kinder class. they love it. the cool thing is that now all kinder knows it!
All this accent talk and no example!? Lol, I'd love to hear some of your accents haha. I can picture it now...
Standing on tables reminds me of that scene in Dead Poet’s Society

Great idea with the classical pop from spotify! I have never thought of that before, but I'm certainly going to start using it.

Love it!!! Do a WBT video!! More on how you implemented in your classroom!
Great ideas.... using students names def works.... same with call and response. Love the cheese grater!
That is so weird! I enjoy doing sign language in my classroom and I was first introduced to it by my second grade teacher too!! Also I love the waterfall one, I wished I knew that before the end of the school year, but now I know it for next year.
Absolutely love how you smile throughout all of your videos!
I think we have a really similar teaching style in the classroom! Fab video :)
Your Ninja routine is awesome ! I tried it out for classroom cleanup this week and it works like a charm. I noticed that especially boys are *really* into it.
If you have Pandora Radio there is a channel called classic goes pop and they play the pop music with instruments all day. It is awesome!
Thank you so much! This was great to watch during the summer and get me excited about all the summer planning I brought home!
As usual, love the ideas. Many of them I've used or am aware of, but appreciate the reminder so I can plug them into my classroom routine once again! Enjoy your long weekend!

do you have a video on how will you start the year? like setting the rules or what? 😊
Teacher: *stands up on table*
Principal: *comes in*
Students: OOOOO YOU GETTING IN TROUBLE!!!
Principal's Mind: *Well as long as shes teaching. Right?*
That classical pop playlist on Spotify is amazing...thanks!
Can you make a tutorial on how you cut out your letters for your bullitin boards on your Cricut?
Thanks for these tips! I didn't think about some of them! 😆
I really liked your videos. some of them I have used it before but anyway it's a bit "fresh" and a great twist (your way). Keep the good work!
These were great! Thank you!

Hi! Wouldn't it be cool if we set up a mystery skype? I just thought it would be cool if your class skyped with mine (I'm a student teacher).
Does anyone know what font she uses as the headings to all of her worksheets?
I usually use either AGBossLady or Bromello ❤️
Thank you!
overture music is always the way to go
We use peanut butter/ jelly and 123 eyes on me eyes on who? YOU, show me
