Thanks for another great video, Tina; I am a massive fan of your teaching blogs. A few questions: 1. How to handle the first lesson of the year -- putting across authority, rules, etc. 2. Top tips for student teachers 3. Top classroom management tips 4. Top marking tips -- how not to be swallowed up by lots of marking. I am becoming a History teacher in a secondary (high) school in London, United Kingdom in September. All the help would be greatly appreciate.
I love your teaching vlogs! It's so refreshing (in an odd way) to see other teachers outside of my area having the same difficulties! Please keep us updated this summer while you prep for the upcoming year and attend trainings or workshops!
Loved the blog. I am very impressed with all your teaching strategies. Hope you can enjoy a little down time this summer.. And I hope your foot feels better.
Hi Tina, I'm a year 1 teacher from Melbourne, Australia. I just wanted to say that I love your videos. You have such a warm and lovely personality. I hope you keep making these vlogs! All the best! :)
Great teaching decision with the moon lesson! Love it. I am going into my first year teaching in August! I will be teaching 5th grade! I just love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to record/edit/upload. Seeng you in my sub box makes me so excited! :)
Hi Tina! I look forward to your teaching vlogs so much; thank you for putting in the extra time to create them. My favorite video so far was the Halloween one. You did an art project with your students involving a black cat from the October Original Monthly Ideas book. I just love the nostalgic feel of that book (how teaching used to be before all of the crazy testing) and have ordered a few of them. My question is, what are some of the other ways you incorporate ideas from that book series to make school a little more fun for your students? Could you share some of your favorite ideas from those books? Thank you so much!! Can't wait to see your Q & A video!
I'd like to say I do comment on some of you videos. But I just love your videos. I have bad anxiety and I get them at random when certain things trigger it. My first thing I do is turn my tv on and go to the TH-cam app and watch a random video of yours. So I'd like to personally thank you. :)
I would love for you to do a video on how you do Number Talks (math talks). Dr. Parrish (the author) was my professor for math in the 5th year program and I am still trying to find a way to make number talks more engaging for my students. Thanks!
Love your channel. A helpful Lapbook tip (been making them for years) is to have the kids glue a piece of colored card stock or construction paper to the center base first b4 putting any thing else on. That helps firm the Lapbook up and it improves the over all look (helps pop those mini books). 😀 HTH
Another amazing video , Tina. Keep up the good work. I live in Mumbai, India and i too teach grade 4. I have learnt a lot from your videos and would continue to do so. the problem with our education system here is we are testing more than teaching. Umesh Shah
I'd love to hear about any strategies you use to help you as a working mom. I am officially returning to the classroom after 10 years of being a SAHM. I loved my career before children and have worked part time as a substitute teacher for the last 2 years but come August I will be a full time teacher and mom. Any advice would be wonderful!
What is your favourite part about teaching, What is your favourite year group to teach and why, What advice would you give to someone looking to start a teaching degree
Tina what a great vlog! That math lesson is great for when I have to do something on the go with my sub classes! Thank you! Could you do more vlogs and share your lessons in your vlog? My question for you is: how do you create lesson outcomes? Do you usually have only one outcome or more than one and do you tell your students what the outcomes will be?
hey Tina i love watching your videos, i am due to start teaching from September and your videos are a great help, just wondering could you share your teacher morning routine? thanks zara xx
Hi Tina, I love your channel! I have taught for many years and have always struggled with work/life balance. I enjoy teaching but feel emotionally and physically depleted most of the time ( ...maybe it's just me???). I would love to hear any tips you have that have helped you to find balance.
Hi Ms. Tina, if you still have an unused sheet of your original paper, color copy (or scan) it and voila you now have back that adorable stationary/ template! What say Ye? xo
Hello, I really like your teaching vlogs. In the begining of this vlog you've mentioned that your students got suspended. I'm a teacher from Poland, I teach English in primary school. We don't really have the suspension for students at all, unless they do something HUGE, and I don't know if I undestand this term in a correct way. What are the things that student has to do if she or he is suspended? What one must have done to get suspended? How does the suspension work in the US? It would be great if you could explain that. I imagine that it would be obvious for people in the States, but probably not so much for people in Europe.
+Umeri Ichi We have them in Australia but they're seldom used in primary schools, mostly in secondary schools. Here a child must have violently assaulted someone or a piece property to be placed on suspension. As they are deemed as a risk to be at school. I'd like to understand the US's version as well.
Good to know I'm not alone:) I know it's a way of punishment, but I can imagine my students wanting to be suspended on purpose to stay at home. I really do have a few students capable of doing such thing. In that case what is the punishment if you can't go to school? For Polish studnets it would be like "Yeah, I can stay at home and play computer games"...
As always, I'm a big fan of your teaching vlogs. My question is, what have you used to teach grammar in 4th grade? I teach in Texas, and the whole state is having issues with their writing test scores, and a big part of the test is just having the students edit and revise using their grammar skills. However, I've taught grammar for the past three years in 4th grade, and I have yet to find a delivery method that invites the students to stay active and to digest the rules a bit more effectively.
Really enjoying your vlogs! We have that Number Talk book as well and we do number talks at the beginning of math about three days a week. I'm second grade and it is awesome to see if my little ones reason out and explain their thinking. My question is how often do your students carry a piece of writing all the way through the writing process to publishing? Once a month? Once a grading period? What would be your advice for second graders?
good afternoon Tina... currently the school year has ended for most of Harris County TX, next fall I will be student teaching in a 7th grade science room. I was wondering if there is any advise (what you wished someone would have told you as a student teacher) or stories you can share from your student teaching experience? I love your blogs!
I have a question! How do you manage your class and set expectations in the beginning of the year? I have heard that it is so important to set the tone early. Do you have any tips? I love your videos!
I'm taking a Remote Teaching Job in Australia this July. I already know that the children have quite different culture understandings to my regular mainstream class and school isn't seen as important, thus there will be a number of behaviour issues to do with attitude, a female being an authority, English as an additional language and low literacy/numeracy levels K/Gr1 in Gr5/6/7 etc. You seem to have a well managed, but challenging class. How did you set up routines, expectations and what are your own/school policies for giving consequences? PLEASE HELP!!!!! p.s I love your teaching videos!
I'm thinking of becoming a pre k teacher when I'm out of school and I was wondering if you had any tips on how to manage a really young kids classroom 😁 also, does your school ever switch teachers to teach different grades? In my elementary school, a teacher who teaches 5th for a year or two might be then moved to teach 1st grade. I was wondering if this was only a thing that my elementary school did. 🤔 (I'm not sure if my elementary school still does this but I remember hearing about it a bit when I was in middle school)
Hi Tina. Just wondering, which do you like to teach most, primary or upper grade? I know they both have their pros and cons but which has been the most enjoyable? I know you had a lot of experience in the lower grades (I think you mentioned first grade) and now you are teaching fourth grade. Thanks so much, love your videos!
Hi Tina! 4th grade teacher from Nevada here! I've been enjoying your teaching videos immensely! I'm wondering if you're using state standards for science or if you're using the NGSS, and if you are, where are you finding your resources? Any particular TpT sellers? Thanks!
hello enjoyed the vid..I do have a question regarding your grade book how u lay it out and how do u determine how many grades go in for the marking period on report cards. thanks

Thank you for sharing your classroom with us. I enjoy these vlogs! (And, I'm amazed you have the time and energy to make them!!) 😄
Yayyyy!!! Another teaching vlog. I'm excited before I even watch! 🍎❤️
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas! Your videos inspire me and make me want to incorporate many of your ideas in my classroom and home!!
Loved the blog. I am very impressed with all your teaching strategies. Hope you can enjoy a little down time this summer.. And I hope your foot feels better.
Hi Tina, I love watching your videos. I'm looking forward to the Q&A and math talks video.

Great idea!! I will absolutely do that from now on. I hated the printing of the folder showing through.
+Tina Bietler exactly. It kinda ruins the look.
Another amazing video , Tina.

Where did you get your dress so cute! Also how do you keep up with the pacing guide of your school and balance the need of your children?
Hi, the dress was from Eddie Bauer. I got it last spring.
What grade are you teaching? I noticed you have tiny chairs? I love you're decorating ideas!

*when, not if they explain
Do you use a behavior management system? If so, which one (Clip chart, tickets, etc.)
good afternoon Tina... currently the school year has ended for most of Harris County TX, next fall I will be student teaching in a 7th grade science room. I was wondering if there is any advise (what you wished someone would have told you as a student teacher) or stories you can share from your student teaching experience? I love your blogs!
Do you find it difficult to work with other teachers? Do find it hard to turn off teacher mode when your at home?
I have a question! How do you manage your class and set expectations in the beginning of the year? I have heard that it is so important to set the tone early. Do you have any tips? I love your videos!

What are your 3 best tips for a student teacher? I student teach in the fall and would appreciate any advice given.
Love your videos! My question is - when do you see yourself retiring from your teaching career? Thanks!
What time do you usually leave school? How much time do you spend preparing lessons?
