What to Expect at Your TEACHER INTERVIEW 👩🏻🏫
Way to go Mariel. "Portable Name Tag Tents" with a side saying "I need help please." "That'll work." - Ruff Ruffman - Dwight
I'm a college prof and I use a version of this!
I use heavy duty card stock for the name placards and do not use a template. When the kids make their own, after I have shown them how to fold the paper into fourths, this gives me the opportunity to see which students can follow directions.
This is so simple yet effective! Definitely saving to use this school year. It also sparked an idea of having some form of mini LED lights that students can turn on at their desk when they need help - similar to call lights on planes for flight attendants. My creative wheels are turning 🙂🙃🙂🙃
A+😂🎉
We have incentives when kids complete iReady Diagnostics with their % growth. Not sure if you do something like that in your school across the grade levels. That’s a fair competition for the chair 😜
I have never heard of Google Keep?? Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, it took me awhile to find it as well and to figure out how I wanted to best use it. 🤔😊
Thanks for sharing this Clutter video.
My pleasure! And thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. 🌻💕
Wow! Thanks for your videos! 😊
My pleasure! Thanks for your support. 🥰
Interesting teacher filing folder system.
Love this. Can you provide the title or link to the video about the birthday envelopes? Thank you.
Absolutely! Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/0VAZhTTJ36k/видео.htmlsi=S48EXodOhgrSJPJu
Dark Chocolate covered-pretzels and I keep sub plans on my Google docs so I can just cut and paste things onto it. Then I paper clip all of the worksheets with post its on them stating reading, writing, and math. It’s easy to change them because the routines for everything are the same but the specials and the schedule may have changed, so tweaks are minimal. Thanks for your channel!!! ❤
That's a great idea! I love the flexibility of it. And for what it's worth, I would absolutely sub for you if you left chocolate covered pretzels! You don't even need to leave plans. 😆
My parents' insurance company started using this numbered system for follow-up on policy changes. The information was written on a small piece of paper with a date on it and filed in the right numbered folder. Then, I would pull those items and check the info to be sure it was done. This kept the file folders off the desk and in the filing cabinet where everyone could find them.
I love it! What a great way to keep track of clients in a systematic way. Thanks for sharing! 🌻
I absolutely love this idea. Thank you 😊
I love your channel! I use a similar system but use a expandable file folder that slides easily in and out of my teacher tote bag. A big box is just too bulky for me and I do bring work home to grade.
Oh great idea! I’ve used those before and I loved how portable they are. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 🌻💕
Which class gets the most compliments from other staff in the halls
I love it! What a perfect way to build community and accountability. 🥰
As an experienced teacher who has been subbing for the last few years, I get bored if I feel like I'm babysitting. I love getting to actually teach at least 1 or 2 lessons. The key is to please plan the substantive stuff for parts of the day when I'll have had the chance to review the lesson plans, like after a planning period or a duty-free recess. It's tricky to capture the nuances of multiple lessons that occur first thing in the morning.
Great points! Thanks for sharing your perspective. 👍🏻
I have used chat GPT for sub lessons this year. Works great!
Great idea! 💻
You have such a great, kid-centered classroom, and I can see why your kids like it. Tell us about the space on your board that has a card that says “Ms. D’s errors” … I’ll bet they love that you’re so human! If I weren’t retired, I’d definitely request to steal that practice from you! Also, great idea to buy outdoor carpets at the end of summer! Awesome tour! Have a great year!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 Good eye on the “Ms. D’s errors.”One of our classroom agreements is: We celebrate failure because it helps us to succeed faster. I’d never ask the kids to be so vulnerable without me having to do it first, so I let them point out my mistakes and then I say what I learned from them. The first day that section was full! 😆 Turns out I spaced about an assembly and we were late. lol.
I call my Cozy Corner Zen Zone.
Love the alliteration! 🧘🏻♀️
You can use % of attendance or the amount of books/pages/minutes read?
Oh those are great ideas! I’ll share them with Stephanie. Thank you!
Great tour. I have a middle school Extensive Needs classroom for kiddos with autism and additional disabilities. I have flexible seating and we absolutely love it. I call that area "the living room" because it's right in front of the classroom tv. Yesterday, I put on a video. One of my new 6th graders put in a request for popcorn and a soda. It's the living room, not a movie theater! lol Competing for the (very awesome) rocking chair, AR points is a great way. Our site uses iReady, so to include the Extensive Needs classrooms, we do everything by ratio (I have 9 students, the other homerooms have 25). So, classes where the students complete a given amount of iReady, regardless of academic level, can compete fairly. My kids have won different competitions, which is amazing! Thanks for another fun video! I've sent your videos to several of the teachers I've mentored over the years for tips and tricks. Always amazing! -Terri
Oh great ideas! Thank you so much for the suggestions. And can I just say how much I love your student requesting the popcorn?! That’s a kid after my own heart. 🍿🥰 Thank you for taking the time to share my content with others. That’s very awesome of you!
Trying to figure out how to adapt this to a high school trimester schedule, where I teach the same class with different kids in different trimesters.
Ooooh, yeah that’s a tough one. This might be too much, but maybe behind each date you have one folder for each period? When I taught middle school, I used a similar system, but instead of the entire month, it was just Monday-Friday. But I admit, the 43 file system works much better for an elementary school class. Sorry I couldn’t help more!
@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher thank you for trying. The trimester schedule is awful, so it’s really hard to organize.
Brilliant system! I could almost come out of retirement! :))
Haha! Love it! 😆
This will be my third year using the 43 file system and I have loved it!
Yay! 🙌🏼 I’m so glad it’s working for you. Thanks for sharing!
Love the tape on the spines of workbooks! Our phonics program has two workbooks, one as a reference/practice and one for assessments, and they are almost the same color and design......idk why an education company would do that to us.....but the colored tape idea will be a game changer!
Whyyyyyy?!!!! 😂 Especially when kids can’t read yet - why would a company make every cover look identical?! We actually have 3 math texts that the students use and so the teachers and I came up with the tape because we were losing our minds. Hope the tape works out for you too! 🥰
I always tell students to use their resources!
Oh I love it! I’m going to steal that phrase. ☺️
Do you have any suggestions for taking notes on student work during whole group work time?
One way I’ve done it in the past is to have a class roster printed out in front of me. While I’m teaching I might jot down super quick notes after each name. For example, a plus mark means they answered a question or were able to demonstrate understanding. A check mark means they participated and maybe asked a question. And a minus symbol means they either didn’t participate or struggled and needed a lot of assistance. I’m not sure if that answered your question, so feel free to reply again if you had a different scenario in mind. I’d be happy to help or ask a colleague for their method! ☺️
@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher That makes sense. I had been using a grade sheet that had all of my students names on it and a small grid next to the names. But the issue I was running into was there really wasn't enough space to write notes. There was enough space to do a small symbol [such as a check mark or letter] but that's about it.
Question: Where do you keep the sticky notes before they make it to the student file? How do you ensure that they don't get lost/damaged/ destroyed before they make it to the student file?
Oh that’s a fantastic question! So I actually teach with a clipboard that moves around with me. It has my lesson plans on it and any important notes I need to remember. I usually just put the sticky notes on a piece of paper on the clipboard. It’s hidden under my plans so students can’t see it. I’ve also just stuck them in my teacher’s manuals while I was teaching and then put them in the student folders at the end of the week. Basically I “hide” them in my teaching materials for the day.
@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I appreciate how practical your solutions are.
This sounds great. I have a question. If all of a student's pencils are dull before the end of the week, is there a way for them to refresh their pencils? Or do they come to you (in the middle of a lesson interrupting instruction) to ask you for more pencils? I'm trying to problem solve before I try this out/ also I really don't want to be responsible for sharpening pencils.
Great question! If all of their pencils are dull or break, I just trade them out for them quickly. I have a stash of sharpened pencils (maybe 10 or so) that are ready to be traded out throughout the week. But I’ve found that it’s pretty rare a student will go through all 5 pencils before the end of the week. If the students are still working on fine motor skills and are pressing too hard or snapping them, then that may be a skill that needs a bit more time and practice. So you may have to have a few extra back up pencils until that gets solidified. Hope that helps!
I am only 45 seconds into this video and I had to stop and comment. This list already looks great and practical. As teacher who's been teaching 10 years, I can already tell this is a good list. Thank you for this video. No time is wasted. One hundred percent practical and you can use it today. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Oh wow thank you for the compliments and awesome feedback - I really appreciate it! 🥰 I think I’ll store my markers in those bins until the day I retire. 😆
This is amazing! Ty so much. Centers have been such a mystery and something many teachers don't talk about very clearly. Amazing
@@Wendidjohnson Oh thank you so much! Yeah I feel like centers were so much trial and error for me for years. I was planning on doing an update on this topic as I’ve modified things a bit more for 5th grade. Stay tuned! ☺️
I just found your channel and have been watching it all morning. It started with "No more piles with my PORTABLE GRADING STATION!" and "A Better File System for Teachers". You are awesome! You should have more subscribers. I've used the same One Stop Teacher Planner for years. I feel so cool and in the know now. Thank you for your great videos,
@@janean1251 Oh my goodness you made my day! Your compliments are so kind and I’m extremely flattered. That’s so cool that you also used the planner. I’ve used many over the years and it’s totally been my favorite so far. Thanks again for watching and have a great school year! 💕👩🏻🏫
Did you over lap the electrical tape so that a bit was over the white board material on the table or just line it up to the edge?
Good question! I realized afterwards that the video angle didn't really show what I was doing. But you are correct, I overlapped it a bit so that half of the tape covered the edge of the white board material, and half attached to the table edge. My table edges are curved so it seemed to be the best solution.
Could you share your star student circles/poster template? Good idea for a quick pick each day!
Absolutely! I'm planning on making a video on it to describe the process a bit better, but here you go: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Qo-USOb6cEuBVTbDIWRmgSnVzrTfZe7FBSKAYtWXf9E/copy. Canva has a lot of cute "star" templates as well if you wanted to customize it further.
Omg ladies thank you so much. I teach Chess, K-6, and have been reckoning my brain trying to figure out some things. After watching y’all I can clearly focus on my ideas now for my CIE classes.
Oh I'm so happy to hear that! I'm glad that you are able to adapt some of the ideas as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 💕🌻
I've never heard of Google keep. I just started using Google tasks for pretty much the same thing though. It has really been helpful with keeping organized.
Oh I love Google Tasks! I tend to use Tasks more for my daily to-do's and Keep for more of my long-term or recurring tasks, but they're really interchangeable.
I hate the popular teacher drawers, too smh 🙄 I was influenced to make such a flimsy purchase
We all fell for it. 😆
Oh! Great to know that plastic tablecloths DO work for bulletin boards... JUST bought some from the Target party section today, & JUST now seeing your video 😅
That's so funny! What a perfect coincidence. Yeah, the black ones held up so well that I'm getting another year out of them. They're awesome.
Great video. I've had the same problem and wanted an alternative and wasn't finding anything on Amazon. Thanks for Frankensteining this for me. "It's Alive!"
Haha! Yeah, mine definitely looks like some weird project, but it's been going strong for years. 💪
Can you use this paper on a small blackboard? I would love more wwhiteboard room and this seems great!!! Thank you. Allicia from CT
Absolutely! In the reviews I noticed a lot of people bought it for that very reason. Good luck and let me know how it turns out!
Canva is free for teachers??? How can I sign up for that?
Yes! And it's awesome. Here is the link to the educator sign up: www.canva.com/education/. You need to get verified, but it's super simple and they did mine really quickly. Enjoy!
Love it!
Now, instead of kids needing a whiteboard to bring to the table they can just bring themselves because the table IS the whiteboard. Way to go.
My thoughts EXACTLY! ☺
I love this!
The activity of cutting the problems is just like Scoot. I never thought of making it myself. Cool idea.
This was very informative. Thank you. This coming year. I will be teaching Math for the first time in 3 years. The last time I did, I got an idea from a teacher on RUclips (I don't remember who it was.). She used the acronym M.A.T.H. M-Meet with the teacher A- At your seat T- Technology H-Hands on activities I just need to create the schedule for it. I don't know where my students are, so I found an end of the year assessment from their previous grade(1st) to see the strengths and weaknesses at a glance and work to fill those gaps as I teach them 2nd grade standards. My old district had a curriculum that had an assessment like that built in, except they used the end of the year of the current grade. Thanks again.
Ooooh what great ideas! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm totally going to incorporate those this year. 💗
