I’ll be honest. When I was struggling with my schedule and how to get everything in, someone suggested it and I wasn’t crazy about the idea. Out of desperation, I tried it with this unit and it’s working. Kids are happy and learning and I feel like I am getting everything in. I may try it for our introduction to force and motion in a couple weeks, but I love science experiments so I’ll have to squeeze those in. I’ve also just started recording 10 minute math videos so when I’m in small group math, I’m also teaching a small group by video. Other students are in more active “rotations”. Hope you’re having a great year!

I don’t have a TPT store. Happy to share whatever I have. This booklet I just pieced together from old resources I had used in the past. Think I’ll redo this next year and “clean it up” a bit. (Of course, then I’ll need to make new anchor charts and recordings.) I hardly ever laminate or print in color because after 20+ years, I still rarely do anything the same way twice. There’s always a better way. 😊Let me work on that and I’ll send it your way. 😊

You are welcome! Thank you so much for watching.

Thanks so much for watching. I am glad you found the video(s) useful.

Thanks so much for watching. I agree. Yes, I was was wearing a microphone. Our county has a microphone "setup" in every classroom. I don't know what brand it is. I just know that it has an on/off switch on the microphone and I can control the volume through the same control panel that controls our LCD projector. The sound is projected through four ceiling speakers.

Hi. Thanks so much for watching! I interview throughout the year (whenever a student submits an application), but it won't be a "full in front of the class model" type interview. I'll interview individually during arrival, dismissal, recess (those type times where I can talk with that child one on one). I don't change jobs unless a child requests a change. Some children try a job and decide that it's not for them, so they'll "give me notice" and keep doing the job for a couple days or until someone else interviews and gets hired. They'll help train their replacement. Some jobs require more than one student, for example, I usually have two tech helpers and two pencil sharpeners and four teacher helpers. It flexes depending on the needs of our class and student ideas. Ideally, I hope that every child will end up with at least one job (and I may nudge that along by saying something like..."You're doing such a great job reminding your friends to push in their chairs when we line up. You would be great at a job like that.") Some children absolutely LOVE jobs , and the resulting pay days so they may hold multiple jobs, but often I limit that until everyone has a chance to apply. I usually don't let a child hold more than three jobs, and then they need to be ones that don't impact our learning or require less intensity, like "clinic escort", which only requires you escort someone to the clinic and drop off when needed (but you still get paid whether that is necessary that week or not). The only job that is not "hired out" is the "leader". Everyone gets to be leader multiple times throughout the year and we just take turns moving through our class list in alphabetical order. It's all about empowering children to take charge of our classroom and learning environment...once they do that, it's just a small step to taking care of his/her own learning. I hope that helps! Love to hear how it works for you. :)

Thank you so much...yes that was very helpful...God bless you!😊

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Instead of a long written response here, I think that may be worthy of a short video. I will try to get that done tomorrow after school and get it posted tomorrow evening.

Hi. Thanks again for watching. I just scheduled a "classroom management" video to release at 10:00 AM this morning (8/10/24). Hopefully, it will answer any questions you have. If you have questions after the video, just ask.

I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching. GO DAWGS! I lived in East Athens in the late 80's while getting my MEd at UGA and then my husband and I lived in married housing for a couple of years in the early 90's while he worked on his masters.

I found it! Thanks for showing it.

Destination Greatness is our school's theme for the 2024-2025 school year. Our admin had the t-shirt for us on the first day of preplanning. I do not know where it came from, but I will see if I can find out. Thanks so much for watching!

@@ms.bullocks2ndgradeclassroomthanks!

Those were ordered from a company called Takedown360...looks like they probably only deal with bulk orders. takedown360.com As I was looking around their website, I saw that our school system is listed under their "case studies" section so that is probably where our school got the name from. My friend who is involved in the ordering said that we have ordered from them for several years...they tell the company the "look" and theme that they are going after and they put it together. takedown360.com/case-study-gcps/

Thanks . Both of those go a long way toward keeping our work spaces a little neater. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! It means a lot. I will try to put something together on how I did my sub plans. With the start of school, it may be a little while :)

That is definitely on my "to do" list. Hopefully, I can make it happen soon.

Thank you! I tried this out the last couple of weeks of the year last year and it was amazing! So powerful and every child engaged and collaborating. This author has a book with a variety of tasks, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I’m in a book study that’s working through the first book, so I’m researching and trying to compile non curricular tasks and curricular tasks that I hope to put into a slideshow. (That’s one of my goals for this year. :))

Thanks so much! I subscribed to your channel! Have a great school year! :)
