This was great thank you <3

Hi! I can’t seem to get your ELA Schedule link to work. Can you help me out?

where did you get the star wand?? i love it!!

This is helpful. I also teach 4th. Do you create differentiated groups, for example, if I have non-readers and above-grade level readers.

This video and your previous one about the difference between phonemic awareness and phonics are absolutely fantastic. You explain these so well. You are, no doubt, a great teacher! I have subscribed to your channel! I am going to watch the one about phonics progression next! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the informative video. There were a lot of ideas you shared, and you put in different perspectives on things. I'm still a nervous wreck I start subbing possibly next week and I feel like I can't afford to make any mistakes. Thanks again!

Guided Reading, based on cueing, has been scientifically debunked. The podcast Sold a Story made this very clear.

Thank you so much for your explanation and simple activities for the classroom!

Such a great explanation and demo! Want to make my first for my sweet coworker from Poland!

Have fun teaching next year, don’t miss us too much!

I'm a future elementary educator and I think I'll use this in my future classroom

Hey! Thank you so much for this video. It was so informative! I just had a few questions. For guided reading, are the texts decodable texts for all groups? Also, when you’re working with the group of struggling readers, what kinds of tasks do you assign to the other groups? Lastly, are the main texts in the book’s modules ever used in guided reading? I teach second language learners so the main texts are difficult and all of the students have a hard time with it. How do you recommend running a class with the module story? Would you recommend a read-aloud session for that with oral questions about the genre or story elements, for example? So sorry for all the questions! I really want to give my students the best. Your advice is invaluable 🥹 thank you!

This is advertisement for a website!!

❤❤❤

Do you have a video about grade 4 science curriculum

Thank you!

Also tell us about morphemes and graphems what is the difference between them

Thank you so much! This is a huge help!❤😊

Thank you so much for this!! I am finding these videos so helpful. Guided reading has always been an area that I lack confidence in, so your videos have been incredibly helpful. Xx

What about high school kids?

Thank you for this :) I will attempt to use this format/ schedule in my grade 4 francophone teaching. Obviously different I CAN, but roughly the same ideas Marie :)

Yeah, I’m feeling the struggle already and I haven’t even started yet

Excellent video!

Do you by any chance have any resources on where substitute teachers can obtain free templates to fill out on how the day went? Thank you for your tips!

It’s 2024 and I’m teaching my OWN class now! I signed up and saved the files!

Thank you for sharing this. I will be teaching writing for the first time and your video was extremely helpful.

Amazing

What are those plastic containers you have for “Toothy” activities?

I am going to use this in the fall with my 3/4 grade students. THANK YOU!

I'm coming back to the classroom after a one year leave of absence and this is the biggest change I'm making coming back. It's SO MUCH WORK to reorganize, not to mention a big mental shift after 14 years in education, but I know it's the right thing for kids. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts so candidly - I loved Molly's video but it was also so helpful to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you!

Your videos are really helping me to study for my RICA exam that's required in California

This is great for studying RICA

Thank you 🎉

Great information! Can you clarify if the students will alos need another notebook to write their stories or are they using the same one after they glue the materials. Fro example, they turn the page and start writing their story. Thanks!

This was great thanks. Most useful!

Do you buy composition notebooks for each of your students? Or do you have them use a coil notebook? What works best and what size is best? Thank you!

I have subbed for about 7 years in 2 states (Missouri & Florida). Here are some of the things I have learned. 1. STAY CALM no matter what. Kids see that you are IN CHARGE and the ADULT in the room as long as you are not getting angry. 2. Be prepared for the worst by bringing a SMALL megaphone and a whistle. If kids get a bit loud and you don't need to SCREAM at them. Just speak normally into the megaphone. Once you get their attention, I tell the kids "This megaphone is kinda obnoxious isn't it! So I will just use my regular voice now." If the kids get OUT OF CONTROL, then blow the whistle! The kids will quiet down! The megaphone I use sparingly... the whistle I use RARELY. Explain to the kids that "we are getting WAY TOO LOUD and might disturb the classes nearby! so please go to your seats and if you talk, do it quietly." 3.... If one or 2 particular students are constantly causing trouble, I will talk to them one on one. I explain to them that I will put THEIR NAME in my daily report to the teacher because you did X.. Y... and Z bad behavior. HOWEVER... if you straighten out starting NOW... then I will let you watch me SCRATCH YOUR NAME OFF of that report!!! Later in the day... the kid is acting OK... and I keep my promise. If a lot of kids are misbehaving.... I will walk around the room and personally THANK the well behaved students for doing their assignment and ask them to please write your name on this list of students who are doing the assignment and NOT causing trouble! The "troublesome" kids see what is going on... and they want THEIR name on that list also!!! So I tell them, "Start doing your assignment and stop the misbehavior and YOUR NAME will go on this "good student list" also! 4.... No matter what strategies you do.... always remember that some kids will act up and you sometimes will not be able to stop them UNLESS you push that emergency button on the wall. When the administrator arrives, I give them a list of 5 or 10 MISBEHAVIORS that the student truthfully did! I try very much to NEVER push that button because administration is very busy and shouldn't be called for the minor battles. UNFORTUNATELY I cannot use some of your suggestions such as "learning kids names" because I am 69 years old and have some problems with remembering people's names. Thanks for this video, I am going to use some of your suggestions to improve my skills.

Research has shown that children will be motivated to read a higher level if it's a subject they are interested in. Ex. I taught 2nd grade, and I had a little boy who loved airplanes. He would read 4th grade level books because he was interested in them.

How complicated would it be if I purchased your grade three resources and modified them for grade 2 Alberta curriculum? I love how you have it all laid out and I love the interactive notebook resource you have made but I teach Grade 2 next year.

Bonjour, where are the French leveled French books from? TIA

I am planning on using your home reading system next school year. In my school we also require nightly math fact practice, so I am curious if I you think I could edit this file to make a Math fact practice version that could be added to the duo tang for parents to do the math fact practice with their kids?

Great video !

Hi! How would you move from paragraph writing towards 3-5 paragraph essays?

Where did you find the fill in the missing number charts?

You have been a lifesaver. I would really appreciate one for Year 5.

Really well explained. Thanks for sharing.

Is the exemplar included in your ELA package? That's the only thing I'm worried about! Otherwise I'm ready to buy!

Does your resource come with plans for how to teach each outcome? Or is it just the cut outs and we create a lesson for it?

I want to watch the videos in order about the subject area in this video. Where do I begin? Thanks

Hello, Any chance you have grade 4 resources in French first language in Alberta? Thank you
