    My favorite reward I just did today (I'm in week 2 of teaching) which was to pull out a different food from my pantry and present it to my student. We laughed about what the food was, what he thought it was at first and how we eat it. He loved it! :)

    Absolutely brilliant. This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for...I knew there MUST be a way to use my old iPad for a reward...I just couldn’t think of anything. This is a treasure chest of resources!

    This seems to much easier!! 2D is great, but this means no keeping track of itty bitty pieces...and no theft of pieces by my children. I had seen people mention google slides, but I didn't really understand what it was so thank you for explaining it. Now I know I want to devote a little time to learning and implementing it!

    Tina, I have been busy working from home today and have listened to and watched your videos all day. Last week after watching your ideo I ran to Dollar Tree... and went back another time. What a great find! I sent many of the good slide docs you demonstrated to Kinkos over the weekend and I've been cutting out rewards while watching your videos. But, after spending a lot of money , you are saying we can just use the google slides with the ten-frame and any stars on the board? The only question I have is managing and finding the slideshare app. I am getting better at it but I think you said you also have a video for this. Thank you, Tina. You are amazing. Regards, Abby

  • @mariebutler-goble7877
    @mariebutler-goble7877 6 років тому +2

    Kristina, I LOVE this idea (I have spent SOOO much time and MONEY on rewards). I went to GoogleSlides to try to find the “Find-a-Star” system, but a whole bunch of different options came up. Which one am I supposed to choose please?
    I love that you have the students speak in sentences that can also be used in their everyday lives! (I would like number 6 please/I would like dumplings and rice please).
    Great video - keep them coming!💕

    • @KristinaGarcia
      @KristinaGarcia  6 років тому

      Hello, my sweet Marie!
      There is a whole section of Find-a-Star rewards. Be sure to check out Megann's channel for tutorials to step you through the navigation. :D ua-cam.com/channels/OR4E59JQPet1DO3raDwjzA.html
      I'm so happy that you enjoy the use of full sentences. I'm always trying to come up with sly ways to make things relevant. Ha! I hope that Google Slides will be a fun way to spruce things up and save you from letting props and rewards take over your house. LOL!
      Thanks for always being so supportive of my channel (and of me, in general). You're a dear pal!
      PS- I bet you watched this video from your "vegetable patch." Hehe!!
      Love,

    Thank you for demonstrating how this works. I was aware of the idea of using google slides for rewards, but needed to get a visual in my head of how that could work. Where do you get the music for your videos?

    • @KristinaGarcia
      @KristinaGarcia  6 років тому +1

      My pleasure, Wentra! The idea for using the slides with my numbers board just "came" to me one night. And I simply added the music using the editing tool that came with my Windows computer. Do you plan on adding music to your intro video? I bet that would be cool!

  • @triciapatrick4460
    @triciapatrick4460 6 років тому +1

    Hello! Love this! Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how to have the reward visible all the time. One idea I would suggest is making your display horizontal like the iPad... It would then be easier match up - at least for me it would be and maybe someone else, too ;)

    • @KristinaGarcia
      @KristinaGarcia  6 років тому

      Hi, Patricia! Thanks for sharing your idea!! I thought about displaying it horizontally but I didn't want to accidentally cover it up while I was standing. I bet it would work great for someone else, yes--excellent idea! Thanks for visiting my channel. :D

      Hi, Stacy! Oh, I'm so happy that you love it, too!! Thanks--I really wanted a way to keep track (and keep the reward system "on display" somehow). The idea came to me as I was trying to fall asleep and I literally sprang out of bed to start making the numbers sheet. Ha! Thanks for watching and commenting! Do you have a favorite FAS?

    • @KristinaGarcia
      @KristinaGarcia  6 років тому +1

      Hi, Vicky! Yes, Google Slides FAS is perfect for traveling!! I need to try all of those Google Slides FAS. I have some tiny dancers who will love the ballerina one.

      @KristinaGarcia  6 років тому

      Hi, Emily! Great question. I bought anti-glare screen protectors online like this one (affiliate link): amzn.to/2IB8GsI. Not only does it reduce fingerprints, but it cuts down on the glare big-time!!

      No, not yet! I've considered using ManyCam and am considering it even more now that we get a steep discount as VIPKid teachers (video about the discount here: ua-cam.com/video/DJIE6Cz3aBQ/v-deo.html). My tablet is actually a mini iPad so it easily works with Google products!

    • @KristinaGarcia
      @KristinaGarcia  6 років тому

      Hi, Yody! It depends on the student's level whether what we're saying is acceptable incidental language. Most students can understand simple questions as long as there is TPR and repetition. What we try to avoid is added language that distracts from the objectives. As students get to be in higher levels, some incidental language is good because we naturally use incidental language when we speak. :D Did I answer your question?
