I’m just getting back into teaching after an 18 year break!! During that time I was a Children’s Pastor for 5 years and a foster parent for 12 years. I’ve been subbing for the past year and absolutely loving it!! I discovered you during the 2020-2021 school year when my kids were doing online school and I was trying to help one of their teachers with her Google Site. I have found all of your videos, especially your tutorials, SO helpful!! I didn’t even own my own computer when I last taught let alone be using one daily in teaching!! Now I feel so comfortable going into any classroom and being able to use all kinds of digital resources in the classroom!! I’ve even been able to share my learning and pass on ideas that I’ve learned from you to new and veteran teachers alike!! I find that a lot of elementary teachers are still intimidated about using technology and digital resources in the classroom. I love to share your TH-cam channel and TPT store (as well as your podcast with Bridget) as a good place to start!! Thank you for the wonderful gift of knowledge that you are sharing with teachers!! 💜 I was intimidated by creating anchor charts with students because it wasn’t something that I learned about or used “back in the day”!! Now I’m excited to make one!! I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos in this series!!
I also returned to the classroom after 18 years (5 years ago). There were no computers in the classroom when I left teaching years ago. Everything I needed to know about Google applications & using technology in the classroom I learned from Michelle. I also happen to live in Austin and am happy to have her here!
Oh my gosh, you're so sweet Christen! Thank you so much for sharing your story with me (and anyone else reading this comments) and I'm SO happy you found me! I love hearing that my videos and tips have been helpful for you, especially after getting back into teaching after such a long time away. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult that would be! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help support you! 🖤
I love this! To avoid reformatting during class I would probably fill it out (except the math on the right side) and put white boxes over the answers. Then I would animate the boxes so that they disappear when I click them. This way students give answers and I reveal it on the screen. Just saves a little time and reformatting! But I love doing it live also. Catch 22.
Thanks, Michelle, for this fantastic video in anchor charts. I think the digital charts will be clearer for students to review and use when solving problems. I love the versatility you showed with how to create the charts. Have a wonderful week ahead!
As always, Michelle, your tutorials offer so much! I’ve always valued everything I’ve purchased from you, and if I were still in upper elementary, I’d be devouring this product, too, but I am teaching first grade now. Is there any chance you might do something similar for the Littles?
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Lorie! 🖤 I appreciate you! It's possible that I could add a primary version in the future, but I don't have experience teaching kindergarten so that may be a little difficult. Maybe I can find a teacher to collaborate with though!
Michelle, I am in Anchor Chart Heaven 😇thanks to you and your Editable Upper Elementary Anchor Charts! Your STEP By STEP tutorials are just what i needed! 👍👍Thanks again!!!
Thanks for the awesome video! I'm a 4th grade teacher and I wanted to use this for an anchor chart on fractions. It seems that google slides doesn't let you insert fractions as equations like google docs does. Do you have a suggestion for this? Love your videos!! Thanks!!
Thank you for this video. I liked how you were able to attach the picture to the side of the Google slide. I had no idea you could add anything there. Here’s a question I have. What would be the difference between doing this digital chart on Google slide vs. Google doc? Do you recommend doing the charts like these on Google slide instead of Google Doc? What would be some differences or benefits of both. Thanks again for sharing. Like always, I always learn something new.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Nellie! 🖤 Google Slides works more as a "blank canvas" that allows you to move images, shapes, and text boxes anywhere you want. With Google Docs, you're more limited with where you can place images, shapes, and text due to the formatting in place. Hopefully that helps!
If you’re doing this in real time with students, I suggest having the equations typed with correct sizing and color beforehand. Then create four rectangles and fill them with a color. Then cover the each equation with a rectangle and you can move or delete them one at a time while you’re doing the example.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jake! 🖤 I don't plan on doing Vlogmas again... partially because I didn't get as many views with those videos last year (which is understandable because people are busy around the holidays) and partially because it took an INCREDIBLE amount of time so I didn't get to personally enjoy the holidays with my friends and family as much and that sacrifice isn't worth it to me.
My professor would like me to add six theorists to my anchor chart. Would it be possible for me to add all six of them, just like you taught us in this video? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Great question Nicole! My favorite way to make fractions in Google Slides is using a table. Insert a table with 2 rows and one column. You can make all the borders transparent except for the border between the top and bottom row. Hopefully that helps!
Thank you for watching and commenting Monica! My favorite way to make fractions in Google Slides is using a table. Insert a table with 2 rows and one column. You can make all the borders transparent except for the border between the top and bottom row. As for exponents, you can format the exponent text as a superset which makes it smaller at the top. Hopefully that helps!
I understand what you are doing but it looks very time consuming. Why not make the entire chart ahead of time and use white to hide it. The students will still feel as if though you are creating it on the spot.

YES! That's exactly what I did with mine (using white rectangles and animation)! It worked GREAT!
Always a pleasure. Self-adhesive pouches cut in forths. Or good ol' fashion packing tape.

Hi Michelle! Love your channel! Are you doing vlogmas this year? We would love if you do!

@@PocketfulofPrimary Ok no problem. Have a great evening!

Can we use this on canva
How do you type a fraction into Google slides with one number on top of the other? I can only find the ones with a slash
Great question Nicole! My favorite way to make fractions in Google Slides is using a table. Insert a table with 2 rows and one column. You can make all the borders transparent except for the border between the top and bottom row. Hopefully that helps!
Thank you. Thank you!!! Can you please add how to add a virtual fraction and a number with an exponent. Thank you.
