  • In today's video, I'm taking you along as I prepare my room for the 2020/2021 School Year. I'll be a 4th year teacher this year, so I have my room pretty put together, but there's always work to be done. Thank you so much for watching! :)

    I love your calm down kit Melissa! Being conscious of your kiddos reading level and suppling your kit with books they will be able to read is so important! Also cutest chinchilla?? mouse? stuffy ever! 😍

      Thank you, Kate! I'm always amazed how many of them choose to flip through the books as they calm down. :)

    Put your keep calm friend in a ziplock bag so they can still hug!!! Plus the sounds would be a good tool to use to calm down, what noise does it make see if you can make it quiet or louder also they could make a song with the sounds!

    I would love to know how you go about teaching/introducing your calm down corner, as well as, how you handle those students who tend to either act up or choose to go more than they should.

    Hello Melissa! I love your videos! I’m very curious what donors choose is though? I’ve heard you mentioned it many times!

    • @MadeForSecondGrade
      @MadeForSecondGrade  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Ciara! Thanks so much for watching! :) Donors Choose is an organization where teachers can submit projects and family, friends, businesses, or anyone at all can donate to the project. It costs nothing to post and you are able to choose materials from a variety of websites. If your project gets funded, all of the materials are delivered to your school and you submit a thank you package that goes out to anyone who donated! I've had a couple of projects funded and it's been such a blessing for my students! :)

    OH MY GOSH! Are you Melissa, Kim’s Best Friend??? I’m actually from her channel, Elementary in the Mitten! I’ve also recognized the room in the thumbnail, and went OH MY GOD!! 🤣🤣🤣 Nice to meet you! I graduated from Myers Park HS back in February, and was going to start college this year, but with COVID, I am skipping this year and will start next year! I’m planning on teaching 3rd grade in 5 years, once I graduate from college! And this is usually my 2nd year of being the 2nd and 3rd grade Lifegroup leader at my church’s 2nd campus, I live next door to! I love working with kids in this age group!!

      Hi Ashley! Here is the link to my amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/madeforsecondgrade?listId=80OYH4AF5DF6 . You can find the larger book bins there. They are a bit pricey, but none have broken in 3 years use, so though they are an investment, it has been worth it for me. :)
