Definitely team physical books to write side notes and highlight.
YES! I used to write way more notes in the margin than I do now but I also keep a note in my notes app with my biggest takeaways which kind of replaced my margin notes.
I have recently found your channel and loving your videos! I’ve been teaching for 20 years and spent the last 8 years as a reading specialist. I made a huge decision to move from a huge district to a small district and go back to the classroom next year. Your videos are helping me SO much!! Thank you. I plan to binge watch most of them 😊
Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!
Yes, I highlight. I also annotate in the margins and use a system of stars to rank the importance of the information.
Yes! I love that! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🥰
WOW... it's been fantastic to watch Thank you sooooo much
Thank you so much Michelle for those recommendations. Funny you mentioned "HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION IN ACADEMICALLY DIVERSE CLASSROOMS". I read that book as one of the textbooks assigned to my "Curriculum Development and Assessment" classes in Graduate school. Very good book indeed. I should've gotten the companion quick reference guide you mentioned. I will get it. Keep up the great service you do for us.
Thank you so much Michelle for this video! I have read “The Happy Teacher Habits…”
Thank you for recommending books with your honest review! Sometimes it's overwhelming to choose which book to read because there are so many out there!
Aww, thank you so much for saying that Amanda! I agree... it can be hard to choose because there are SO many options out there so hopefully this was helpful for you! 🥰
Totally highlight in physical books! 🙌🏼
Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess!!!!!! So inspiring. One of my favorite parts - If they charged a fee to attend your class - who would go? It's all about being the best you to meet the needs of all your learners.
Thanks for the suggestion Patricia! I've heard mixed reviews about that book but have never actually read it myself so maybe I should give it a chance!
Thank you for this video!!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jennifer! 🥰
Heyyy...
I Love highlighting books as I read them, although I do love using Apple books to read and highlight them. Then I have digital access to it anytime and anywhere on any device I need.
I can totally understand that! Personally, I like taking digital notes as I read in my notes app so I have access to the information after.
I have never highlighted a book!I just can't write in a book! I get a spiral notebook and take notes, or I use post-it notes. My college texts were like new! Great for resales! I hated when previous teachers would highlight or write in the margins in the teacher's manual! UGH! BTW, I have read 2 of the books you mentioned, Atomic Habits, and your book, of course!
LOL! I totally understand! I gave up on getting good value from my college textbooks during the resale 😂 It was always next to impossible to get a decent amount for them, but that could have just been at my college. But, I actually love getting books that others have highlighted or taken notes in because I find it interesting to see what stuck out to others.
I don't use a highlighter when I read, instead I use sticky notes that stick out of the top of the book. I can make notes on the sticky note and I can easily return to that page.
That makes sense! I have when the sticky notes get torn and wrinkled over time 😂 But, I do take digital notes in the notes app on my phone/computer so I have easy access to the information later.
I am a very avid reader to the point that as I am reading a book, I plan ahead for the next three so I am never left with nothing to read! That being said, this video was great! You already know that I read your book and while you say it's geared towards elementary, I can say from personal experience as a middle school teacher that I had many takeaways from your book. I'm very intrigued by the classroom management book. One thing I take pride in as a teacher is my classroom management, but I am always looking to try new techniques, so I think I will check this one out. I also have already listened to your podcast episodes about atomic habits and I keep saying I will read that book. I think it's time to pull the trigger and get it! A book I enjoyed was "Shattering the perfect teacher myth". Thank you again for all that you do and I can't wait for next week's video (and it will drop on my OFFICIAL LAST DAY!) Happy summer!
LOL! I'm the exact same way with books... at least this year! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video, even as a middle school teacher and I especially love hearing that you had some takeaways from my book too! Oh my gosh... you HAVE to read Atomic Habits! Seriously! It's 100% worth the read! I haven't heard of the Shattering the Perfect Teacher Myth so I'll have to check it out! Also, HAPPY ALMOST LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! 🎉
Great recommendations !
Can you guide any science guide book and lesson planing creative ideas resources for science ,biology ?
I read that first book in my college class last semester :). Only 2 years left before I'm in a classroom of my own!
Woohoo! I wish you the best as you continue on your journey to stepping into your own classroom for the first time! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰
Read Atomic Habits because of you and loved it!!!
The 5am Club and The Four Tendencies are also great reads.
Ahh... I'm so happy you loved it too! The 5am Club is actually on my list to read but I'll have to check out The Four Tendencies!
Thanks for your recommendations, Michelle! I prefer physical books for professional development so I can annotate, but digital for fiction books that are just for fun. I have read three of the books you mentioned, but I would like to read them all. What I also want to read for next year is more books to support lower level English Language Learners, especially students who are new to the U.S. Also, I will be mentoring a first-year teacher next year, so I am going to buy her a copy of your book! Thanks for all you do. Have an amazing week! 💜
Aww, thank you so much as ALWAYS for watching and taking the time to comment Mandy! I really like that thinking... physical for nonfiction and digital for fiction. I feel like I could easily get down with that! Ahh... if you find any great books for supporting English language learners, please let me know! I'd love to check them out too. Also, oh my gosh... you're AMAZING!!! I'll have to send you another signed bookplate to add to it for her 🥰 I hope you have an amazing week too!
I am also looking for something to read to help better support my ELL's. They typically make up just overall my class ❤
I already have Hacking Classroom Management on my list. Definitely looking into adding a few of these.
That's great! I definitely hope you're able to check out some of the other recommendations I had as well and love all of them!
I’d also recommend “Otherful” by Mike Kleba and Ryan O’Hara, it gives an entirely new perspective of not only how to teach but the fundamentals of being in a leading role in any scenario
These are great recommendations! I would also add “Building Thinking Classrooms” by Peter Liljedal. It is research based and has a ton of amazing information and ideas on how to get students to think rather than just regurgitate.
Ahhh yes! That one is on my list to read! I've heard great things about it and can't wait to tackle it this year!
Love these book recommendations and I will check them out 💗! For a future video, could you share some quick & easy hairstyling tips? Your hair always looks so pretty!
Aww, thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it! I don't really have any hair styling tips because all I do is curl my hair with a curling wand but I showed a little of that in my recent morning routine video:

@@PocketfulofPrimary You're welcome 😃! Thank you so much for providing the link, I will check it out!
hello teacher Michelle, I hope you're doing well. I'm working on a presentation about the challenges teachers face and i can see you are a really good teacher. Could you briefly share any particular challenges you've encountered in teaching?
Team highlighting in color codes and writing notes.
Woo! I'm glad we're on the same team Trish! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰
I always highlight... so I can go back. BUT... if I had the reference foldable, would I highlight? I don't know... I LOVE highlighting.
Thanks for the video. Some books I really enjoyed:
Atomic Habits (which you mentioned)
The Productivity Project
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Moonwalking with Einstein
Thank you for the recommendations! I've already read some of those but I'll have to check out Moonwalking with Einstein!
@2:29 Hey Michelle, it's actually on page 150. It took me forever to find it 😆 P.S. Bought First Class Teaching and the Teacher Planner! Love both!
Great recommendations!
Definitely, team physical books.
YES! I will say... I'm running out of space on my bookshelf so I might have to reevaluate the number of physical books I keep but still 😂
You are so impressive. Your organization and presentation skills are goals of mine. I always enjoy watching and learning from you.
Aww, thank you so much for saying that! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos and I appreciate you taking the time to comment! 🥰
👏👏👏👏👏👏❣❣❣❣❣Yes! I highlight as well!
Woohoo! Team highlight in the house! 😂
I am currently reading the Making Sense of Mathmatics for Teaching Small Group. I now have several ideas for more PD books for this summer. After the struggle of last year I want to read about more classroom management things going forward. I feel that the needs of my students have changed with COVID, so I need to change what I have done in the past.
If you're looking for a non teacher book and you like thriller type books, I just finished The Last Mrs. Parrish and loved it. I found it on Reese Witherspoon's book list. It starts off a little slow, but it was good.
Ahh... I'm so happy you're already reading Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching Small Group! Hopefully you love it as much as I did! Also, I'm happy you were able to get some more ideas of other books to read this summer. Also, thank you so much for the recommendations as well! I appreciate it!
What the best book of these for beginner teachers????
I only write and highlight in “textbooks”
Atomic Habits ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am a physical book lover and highlighter, page folder, and keeper of all books. Unfortunately, I still have most of my books from 25 years of teaching and need to purge! Help!
I pick a publication date. Usually 5 years. If it was published more than 5 years before my purge date, out it goes…especially if I haven’t referred to its contents in the past 2 years. It hurts sometimes, but I do it anyway.
Be strong! 🤭🤭🤭
I totally understand this struggle! It can be so hard to pick and choose what to keep. But, you can always take notes on the book digitally so you have access to the information but then donate the book to another teacher!
I recently got ur channel❤❤
I'm so happy you found me and I appreciate you watching and commenting! 🥰
I'd love to buy your book 📖🥰 do you send overseas?? I'm a teacher from Spain 😊
Hello Michelle, do you have recommendations for PBT? Or STEM
I personally haven't read any books recently on those topics specifically but if anyone else has any great recommendations, please respond and tell us!
Hi Michelle !,
Awesome books. However what is in them will go a lot further if supported by school admin(s).
Always make sure that you have the support of your peers and the powers that be before going forward.

Thanks for watching and commenting as always Dwight!

Thank you Michelle.

I definitely love the recommendations. I’ve read your book and atomic habits. I’m a mix of team highlighter and writing notes in the available margins. I want to get my hands on the making sense of mathematics for teaching as I run my own tutoring website for math I want to build the foundation even stronger. I’ve got a book recommendation for you. Since you love building relationships with your students the book I recommend it Lifeline 65 by Ryan Stein. He is a current elementary school principal in my area who not only enjoys having good student relationships, but he also makes his school thrive on those relationships!
Hi Russell! Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always 🎉! Also, I do sometimes write in the margins as well 👍🏻 As for the Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching books, you will LOVE them! They will be fantastic resources for your math tutoring! I haven't heard of that book so I will definitely add it to my wishlist... thank you so much for the recommendation!
