I agree! Thankfully one of the copiers had toner the next day so I wan able to get a few things done 😊

I have to keep reminding myself that I won't have it all 100% done by the start of the year, and that's ok!! Thankfully I was given a desk and found a working copier 🎉

It really depends on the kids. Some kids LOVE the couch area while others really hate it. The same goes for the tall table. Many of my short kids don't like the tall table. I would say the plastic stools are the least desired choice, and kids will often say "I need something with a back because I need back support." I am not sure how much of that is because they just want to slouch and how much is because they really need it haha!

Unfortunately, the sale is over for the year. Check back next July for information about the new Bundles!

I do not screen record while teaching. If I want to make a video for my students, I use the app ExplainEverything (it may also be called ExplainEDU).

I have taught on a variety of class times - 75, 50, and 90. I honestly liked the 50 minute periods best only because I saw the kids every day and didn't feel like I had to rush as much to get everything in! How do you handle homework in your class? I LOVED having my students turn in their homework as a PDF from their iPads! I know students can take pictures with their Chromebook, but I am not sure I want to go that route.

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath right now, students have their homework out at the beginning of class and I walk up and down the aisles. I take perhaps 2 minutes. It's a completion grade. Usually 10 problems or fewer. If all are attempted and work is shown, 5 pts. 3 pts for halfway. 1 pt for no work shown, just answers. If you can come up with a virtual turn in for Chromebooks, I'll probably copy that!!

That is how I used to check homework before my students had iPad, and it probably the way I will check homework. I may change my mind after talking with other math teachers in my department to see how they handle homework. I will be sure to update on how I deal with homework sometime during the school year!

You should be able to click the link in the description to be taken to the page. The bundle is a digital download, so there is no shipping of any physical products.

I never thought about it that way, but you are so correct!!!

I use the Big Teacher Planner from Happy Planner 💕

This is seriously the BEST deal! Before contributing to it, I would purchase it so I was sure I had a variety of resources to pull from all year long 💕

It is! If only it went this fast in real life 😂

It is called The Teacher Tote (theteachertote.com)

Great question! I have slides that I put up when kids walk into the room. There are different sections on the slide (Do Now, I Can, Today, Meme of the Day, Upcoming Dates). I have a different side for each subject, and this is where I put their learning targets (we call them "I Can" statements). If you watch any of my Day in the Life videos, I typically show them and have a link to the one I use.

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks . Do you keep those slides visible all throughout class ? I know admins like to suddenly appear in class and they want to see all of it listed

@@stacyr4768 I do not. My admin knows this is how I post them and can share the slides with them if they want to see them. Having 3 different courses that I teach and one whiteboard, there is no way to have all of this up all the time. I would definitely talk to your admin and see if this a possibility for you. I used to have a list of the standards above my board, and would Velcro a start on the standard I was working on that day, but after moving classrooms, I decided to use the slides instead.

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks

Thank you!

I laminated the labels first, then just used tape to stick them to the drawers. Even with my move, they have held on strong!!

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks , do you suggest any specific type of tape ?

I just used regular scotch tape - probably an off brand as my school didn't buy anything name brand 😂 I imagine double sided tape would work well too!!

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks

I had SERIOUS doubts I would be able to finish in one week, but thanks to my daughter, we got it done! I hope to start moving things into my new classroom soon.

Just moving schools. I don't intend on leaving teaching, and I truly LOVE it! Despite all of the negativity you might heave about teaching, it still is a great profession. If you do decide to go into teaching, I wish you the best.

There should be more coming as I am able to get into my new classroom(s) and set up for the new school year 💕

Welcome to my channel! It really was a tough decision, and I already missing those I worked closest with, but I know it will be better in the long run. I have no ill will towards the school or the people, and if changes are made, I could see myself going back years from now. But for now, I have made peace with my decision and am ready for my next adventure.

I would defiantly be interested in learning more about the book you are writing.

I am glad the bird noise was not a distraction. I would love to film more outside!!!

Thank you!

Congratulations on moving up to teach PreCalc and Calculus! I will definitely continue sharing my journey as I move into my new school. I have spent some time over the summer looking over the material for my school school. Thankfully PreCalculus is PreCalculus no matter where you teach (for the most part), so I don't have a ton of work to do. I have been working on creating new resources for my students, so we aren't using the book the entire time. I will be sharing more information about an amazing math deal on Tuesday (7/23), so be on the lookout for that!

Thank you so much! I am happy to hear that moving schools was a positive thing for you.

TI-Calculator actually sent me the charm 💕 The bag is VERY easy to clean!!

haha! I should have knows it came from TikTok!!!

If me know if you have other questions! I would be happy to answer them for you. I also have a blog post about how to go over homework. You can read that here: www.katedeanmath.com/2024/05/ideas-for-going-over-homework.html

By the way, this is for algebra I. :)

After watching my homework video, please let me know if you have other questions! I would love to start a homework discussion.

Welcome to my channel! I am glad you are enjoying the videos you have watched so far. If there is anything you would like to see as a video, feel free to leave a comment or email me at hello@katedeanmath.com and I can work on a new video.

This has been my absolute favorite part of my classroom for the past 5 years! Even the kids who HATE math say they don't dread coming into the classroom because at least the seating is comfortable.

That’s very creative

I won them from a Facebook giveaway. I wish I knew where they got them from!!!

I LOVE my Happy Planners!!! I have been using them since 2015 when they first came out 💕

Thank you for your comment. I would absolutely pick teaching again!! There are definitely some bad things about teaching, but there are amazing things as well. I do think a big part of it is finding the school that is right for you. But that really goes with most jobs, a toxic work environment is not good for anyone.

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath thanks for the reply! I work for the Australian Gov and thinking about going back to Uni to become one. The profession doesn’t get a good wrap here though. I love your passion for it though ☺️ thanks for all you do!

I have not used Geogebra in a LONG time! It was an huge part of one of my college classes so I am very familiar with it.

Thank you 🤗

Thank you for the suggestion. I will work on a video talking about this. I do have a video where I talk about my homework expectations.

Thank you.

I completely agree! I have been pushing to get textbooks, but the decision makers disagree.

@@KateDean-SecondaryMath ugh! I hear ya! My daughters middle school science teacher told me that Google was their class resource. 🤦‍♀️

I completely agree!! We are seeing the same at the high school. Students feel like there is no point in learning because they can just google the answer. They can't even remember the formula for the area of a triangle or circle, and we are using those DAILY right now. They have to look it up every time I ask.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will work on a video over the next few weeks over Canvas and my homepage calendar.

Thank you so much! If there are any specific videos you would like to see let me know.

I use the app PDF Viewer on my iPad to annotate notes for students. The software I use to project my iPad is called AirServer. This was bought by my district, so I don't have any information about it.
