I want to be a teacher and I play school on my front porch with the neighborhood kids like you did. Our “school” starts at 8:30 I’m the teacher and I “get there” at 7:45. I am the math, social studies, and science teacher just like you. I even made an anchor chart that i saw in your video. I love you so much. You are an amazing teacher I wish you were my teacher.
You're lucky that you have people to play with I don't have many neighbors so I have to play alone but I do have a whiteboard and a projector like at my school!
I love the basketball games! I'm now in my 30s but I still remember playing something similar in 4th and 5th grade. I was lucky enough to get two of the three teachers in my elementary school that did math basketball to teach their students their multiplication tables. We would just have two teams, either another class or the class would be split into two, and the teacher would say a multiplication skill like 4x7 or 7x8 and the first kid to answer would shoot either a 1 or 3 pointer. I still know my multiplication tables faster than most people even though I don't use them all the time and I will always remember those games.
Genius with the mini roster idea -I’m going to do that tomorrow! I love this channel! I wish I had 1/4 of your energy . What is your school dress code? What online programs do your students use? How do you communicate: how often with parents? How often do you have faculty meetings? Do you have to turn in your lesson plans? What is mandatory to have included in your lesson plans? Do you get to have recess and lunch by yourself? Do the students use text books primarily, or interactive notebooks? How does your school do basic math fact mastery? Does every class get a TA? Are they full time?
I really wish my teachers got grades in that quick! I almost failed a class because the teacher wasn't grading anything or giving it back, so I had no idea how I was doing. And low and behold, when I got grades (after report cards) it lowered my grade and I barely passed for that quarter. And she was always like that.
I was lucky enough to have a teacher (Like Michelle) that cared enough to build relationships with her students. It honestly helped me so much! Student teacher relationships are more important than most people think.
im in college now but in high school my junior year i took a dance class and we had to take tests and my teacher used trashsketball (?) as a review game and even as 16&17 year olds we loved it so i can imagine 9&10 years olds loving it too!
We do something very similar. The winning group gets a prize like a piece of candy. It’s really hard because she uses bouncy balls so it is hard to get it in the basket
I love your enthusiasm and how you share great ideas for teachers! You inspire and motivate me when I'm feeling drained from all the teacher stuff! I just finished my masters program, so hang in there! It is possible and doable! BTW, I have been putting my roster on the back of my ID for a couple of years. It is a huge game changer for me! I teach K so having my student's lunch numbers is a huge help throughout the day.
I’m in my second year of college working towards my A.A. Degree so that someday I can be a teacher like you 😍❤️ I loveeee your videos, they give me so much motivation and hope. I watch your videos while I fold laundry 😂 I have an interview this Wednesday at a Daycare facility and I’m sooo excited because it gets my “foot in the door” to begin working with children and if I get it I can put it on my resume for when I end up working with children someplace else 🙈❤️🥰
I’m in my 4th week of student teaching! I decided to make a class roster on my ID badge last week because my mentor teacher has her kindergarteners make a boy line and a girl line. She has them line up alphabetically also. It’s easier to know where everyone goes when they’re in line!
I love the idea of the trashketball review game you do. I also like the idea of having a list of your students in line order, including a smaller version you keep with your ID. I've started subbing this week and several teachers have stated in their plans their students should be in line order, yet they don't leave a list of what that looks like. Also, they don't leave a seating chart, but that's another issue...
My teacher does something similar, he calls it math basketball. You send one person up from two tables and they spin a dice and you multiply whats on the two dice, and whoever does it first wins something!!
HI! I'm so happy with this video! I am only twelve but I want to be a teacher someday. You help me know what to do with my room and some activities to do with my kids
@Pocketful of Primary Michelle , That's what you do #Trashketball . If it works for your students , do it . With that said , You look good in your new shoes . Keep smiling and keep making education fun ! - Dwight
Can you do like a everything you need to know before becoming an elementary school teacher video, because I’m really interested in being an elementary school teacher and I would like to know more about it
I LOVE ur Trasketball game!! I do something similar but love ur presentation! I also use this with reading passages. I have them prove their answers with evidence.
I am definitely going to try Trashketball in my classroom with my third graders. I know it will be SUPER fun for my kiddos! 😀 Thank you for always providing ideas and inspiration for teachers everywhere! 😀 I am in my first year of teaching, and it can be hard at times, but I continue to stay positive throughout this school year! 😀
I started the “Boo” train for my school this year and STILL no one knows it was me!! I got my coworkers GOOD! Also I’m a high key cheapskate so we just use an empty classroom trash can and wadded up paper. Meets the same purpose and my Sixths love it! 😂😂
Fellow Teachers! I need your help! I love doing review games in my 5th grade math group- we’ve done Jeopardy and I want to try out Trashketball. HOWEVER, I have a student who absolutely loses it if his team is not “winning.” He really struggles with impulse control and will throw a tantrum if his team doesn’t get a point or misses the question. How do I do these team games with a student who can’t handle any sort of disappointment?
Michelle I really love your videos and I've been looking forward to seeing them every week. I am not a teacher and I'm only 12 years old. I turned 12 yesterday .8 November. I love you Michelle thank you for inspiring me for my future! sorry for my grammar errors( ;
I love all of your work. Can you recommend any other TH-camr or TPTer who is in middle or high school? The lessons and games are super engaging, but at the secondary level the responses require much more thinking time. I'd love to see your style applied to 6-12 content/ rigor.
I highly recommend Real Rap with Reynolds and Bond with James! Both of them are fantastic and would give you tons of great ideas! Also, thank you for your kind words!
Definitely make sure you double check your line order a lot. I did this with my 5th graders and there was almost always the same group of boys, that would not follow the line order! P.s I love the new seating arrangement
Also I love school I really want to be a 2nd grade teacher when I am older I am only 11 and I play school with invisible kids. I even have a school set up in my playroom. And I even have my one "teacher badge" .
I have those Anagrams!! I do them with my students as well. Note about the peppermints - Can you I had a parent complain about my giving students peppermints!!
Pocketful of Primary Me Neither!!! In 18 years, I'd never had a parent complain about peppermint!! It helps them focus! But my district is sugar free! Again, no one has ever complained about anything I've given my students!
I have grades for in the gradebook, which is ‘grade’. I love humor that isnt humor. No but really, you are a great teacher! Im a coach of kids aged 6-13 and Thats not always easy as an 16 year old, i wish i could get the kids to be so engaged as your kids! Unfortunately there are 3 kids who dont want to be there and iT brings the entire groep dynamic down
I do that but a little bit different. You get 3 points 1 point would be participating 2 points would be you get the answer right 3 points would be if you made the hoop you would get 3 points
Why would you make your kids go in line order for a fire drill, that would just take longer to get out of the building and the point is to get out of the building as quick as possible..
That way you can count your students and make sure everyone leaves the building without them breaking out in a panic, running, falling and getting injured. You don't have time for that and need to be as organised as possible.
Carolin Mader my school automatically lined up in no organized order gets out of the building and hen calls role while outside where it’s safe she’s risking her child’s lives.
I never said they would need to get in line order for a fire drill? I said I could use the line order sheet as a roster to take roll once they are outside...
Your school has Election Day off? That’s great! Love the mini roster idea and trashketball seems so fun and a great way to review! I’ll definitely have to use it 😃💖 love your videos Michelle!
Hello! I have the same classroom as you it is all the same and thank you so much for showing me this we do this game in the afternoon and sometimes in the morning my kids love it in the morning because on mondays theres p.e and there learning basket ball there and this was very helpful thanks bestie and I have a question how much do you get paid there here we get paid 20$each say how much do they pay u there?bye bestie!!!!
Hey can u do a class project where the kids make a mini waterpark. I dont really know what to use but try to make it realistic. I hope you can do my idea. I really love you and your amazing class.
Vlogging is a very time consuming process and it can be difficult to constantly have your life documented for the world to see. I have decided to set boundaries so I can enjoy time at home with my loved ones without always having my life documented. We all need personal time!
@@PocketfulofPrimary that makes sense ! Really hope I didnt come off rude, just been watching your old vlogs in which you vlogged at home and was wondering why you no longer did
Pocketful of Primary your reasons make complete sense. However I know many of us would love to see what you and billy are up to. Maybe during extended time at home ( breaks for winter and summer) might be a convenient time to do so. Of course take the time you need first before you even worry about us viewers. If you decide to just know I'd definitely be watching, if not I really enjoy all the other videos on your channel despite not being a teacher( interior designer)

What is your school dress code?

Watching you rearrange your desks reminds me of when I moved into my new place and nothing ever looked "in place".

No school for Election Day?!? Wow!!
Brena Gauland All of our schools are used as polling places!
@@PocketfulofPrimary Still lucky. Many schools in Ontario Canada are used for voting stations and yet the school remains open for students and staff.
Leslie Haylow We all end up going the same number of days by the end of the school year 👍🏼
Brena Gauland my school has a two hour delay but I live in North Carolina
I have no school on election day
We do something very similar. The winning group gets a prize like a piece of candy. It’s really hard because she uses bouncy balls so it is hard to get it in the basket
Thanks so much for the great idea. I purchased the basket and your template and can't wait to give it a try with my fourth graders.

Evelyn Grace the thing you need the most is patience :)
You know class is about to be lit when your teacher breaks out the trashketball
Where can I find the link to your new shoes? They are super cute.
I LOVE ur Trasketball game!! I do something similar but love ur presentation! I also use this with reading passages. I have them prove their answers with evidence.
my math teacher has our desk is pairs of 2 in rows so we have partners and when we need groups we just turn the desks to make tables of 4
Thanks for the helpful tips. I will be using some doing my 4th year of teaching.
Wait a minute. Does MD have no school for Election Day? That’s freaking awesome. I’m from NC, and we never got off.
It isn't a state decision... each county makes the decision depending on whether or not they use the schools as polling places!
I'm from ma and I get election day off
ya Edwin if mine. is on a friday we get monday off to
I'm from Rockingham County, NC and we always have election day off
@@PocketfulofPrimary my schools were polling places but we still had school
SMART Boards are great for building games or slides that you can use for this game.

Trashketball looks like a lot of fun. I'll definitely be trying it out with my second graders. Also your Wednesday shoes are super cute!
I LOVE DARK CHOCOLATE AND ESPECIALLY THE DOVE!!!!!!!
DEFINITELY doing the trashketball with my high schoolers!
I played that game in 7th grade so it definitely is versatile.💗💗
Love your channel and I’m a grade three student
Hi Michelle, love your vlogs!!! ❤️
I saw a Trashketball trash can at the 99c only store
I love you so much. I think that you are one of my favorite people I can relate to.

My district just finished ELA (reading), science, and math assessments.
Wow you have 60 students I only have 26 students and that's a lot for me

Why don’t you put the desks into rows facing the board? You will probably have more room then
