Love your content! You are crushing third grade. Sounds like your kids are learning so much and so are you and that’s what it’s all about. Would love to hear more about your planning process and how you go about planning for the week when you have time to make a video like that! Also super curious about your grading process and how you structure grading then inputting grades into whatever you put it into. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into your teacher life!
Thank you for sharing your weeks with us! I am sure it’s not easy to teach and film! But I really appreciate it and love the “weeks in my life”! Thank you Katie! Cannot wait for more! You are doing such an amazing job with a new grade and a new school! It looks like lots of fun and learning!
You are absolutely fabulous. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on anything like soda or water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? I think it would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Thank you for your videos and sharing your teaching experiences. 👏👍 You are real, you keep humor in your daily life, & are very organized. Your love for teaching is inspiring. You motivate me and this is my 20th year of teaching.
Love your videos it makes me want to be a teacher I have been in the school system for five years now and love being around kids I was wondering if you could do an evening routine I struggle the most in the evening
I use the weekly progress check-ups for the vocabulary and word study portion of the tests, and I add cold reads from the site, too. You can differentiate the cold reads on the test by using BL, OL, AL stories provided. That reaches your students where they are as they progress. I add the story comprehension questions from one of the TpT resources to assess them as well and let them use their book on test. Sometimes, I will assign some of the cold reads in my Google Classroom as part of my technology center.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Can you show more about how you manage paper flow, make copies, and file curriculum ? That's something I struggle to stay on top of.
You seem so confident and enthusiastic. Do you think some of that has to do with it being the beginning of the year, or does 3rd grade feel like a better fit? Or maybe it’s the new school? I’d love to see another hubby takeover vlog, or just more content with the two of you. Maybe some more stuff centered around your non-work life?
Can you show us what Realize looks like? Never heard of it. Also, what do you do for writing? Thank you for sharing with us, impressive in the beginning of the year!
Hey, Katie! Thanks for your video and vlog’s. I’m an elementary teacher too and because of you I get to know more about teaching in another county. It’s very interesting to compare difference between our classes, and very important. P.S. sorry for my English, I don’t have enough practice for along time
Love your content. Another great book is “How to be Cool in the Third Grade.” My kids absolutely loved it. I teach 5th now and I do love how you use the slides. Do you have them on TPT?
I will have to look that book up! The slides I use in the mornings are from tpt. Here is the link! www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/VARSITY-LETTERS-PATCHGLITTER-Themed-Editable-Morning-Meeting-Agenda-Slide-Deck-8302818
You’re doing great sounds like! I also teach third grade and use MyView. I label my stories for grades, Google Classroom, etc., as U1W1 for Unit 1 Week1, and so on. That has helped me keep it simple and organized. I use TpT resources for the stories also. They are super helpful and make my planning roll our more quickly. Thanks for sharing your week with us!
@@mrs_katie_in_elementary I use MyView as well. I also teach 3rd grade and this is our first year with MyView. I find it hard to navigate, but I am trying! I would also like to know what TPT resources work with it. I can't seem to find any. Katie, what did you use for their weekly assessment? Is it the one on MyView that has a fresh read or do you ask questions on the weekly passage? Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for another vlog showing how your teaching days are going. Do you have actual reading textbooks or is everything a printout and online? Do you plan to create little colorful game centers for third grade as you had for the first graders? How do you like the independence level of this age group compared to the first graders, is it noticeable or about the same for end of year first grade? (lots of questions today) :-) You look very relaxed and less stressed in your new school.
We have actual reading textbooks for students and they are consumable so students can write, underline, and highlight on the pages and in the stories which I like! I would love to develop more centers for third grade but so many of my first grade ones were phonics related so I'd have to figure out what kind of centers third graders need. The independence difference is definitely pretty huge! Specifically in regards to their ability to read, decode, and write! Other things like independence in their work and behavior maturity.. well kids will be kids haha! I FEEL relaxed and less stressed so it's so great to hear that that is reflected even in my vlogs 😊
I'm enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing. Would you mind explaining, either here or in a video, more about how you are teaching them to do rotations? You mentioned grading so you can work on their rotation responsibilities. Does that mean you are grading their work to show them they are accountable for completing the work? Thanks for any response you can give to make rotations successful. I really want to have time for a small group or one on one.
Love your videos! You mentioned cushioning the students' first reading test. How did you exactly do that? Also what assessment do you use for reading progress monitoring? Fellow third grade teacher seeking help :)
The test had a writing question worth 20 points that our students were not required to complete but I gave them the 20 points credit. Kinda curved it since it was our first test of the year and first time testing on the myView online platform. We are using cold read fluency passages for progress monitoring in addition to the new FAST test that is required in the state of FL.
My son is in 3rd grade and his school just adopted MyView. He is struggling with the spelling words. Any tips on how to help him? I teach 1st grade and help him study every night. He has never had this much trouble remembering how to spell words before. We are on the struggle bus for sure!
We piloted My View last year, but went with Into Reading instead. I wondered if your primary grades like My View? We had a big revolt against it, but I wondered how a school that is actually using it feels? Just curious!
So far I don't think many teachers are a huge fan... There was a big delay in receiving our materials so many classrooms just now got their TEs. Into Reading was another option for adoption, how do you like it??
@@mrs_katie_in_elementary I teach Kinder and I like it just fine. I have to supplement a little, but not nearly as much as I would with My View. The literature in Into Reading is really good for kinder, so I love that! It's just not as strong in phonics and phonemic awareness as I'd like. Honestly, it's hard to find the perfect curriculum!
Hello, I'm 30 years old. I've been a title one teacher for 6 years but I didn't go to college. Would you think it's a good idea yo go to college to become a teacher? If so what online college do you recommend?
I don't have any experiences with online colleges so I can't make a recommendation there, but I do think that college education is useful, especially now that universities are teaching so much that is based on Science of Reading research!

Boundless energy! What a great teacher and year so far!!! Love the smart board and how you use it!
Aww thanks!! I try haha
Thank you for all you do to keep us entertained and informed. Praying for another great week ahead.
Thanks so much ♥️
This video was so good! You are doing a great job on adding more content, thank you!

Realize is the online platform for the MyView Reading curriculum! I will be showing more writing soon as we begin to incorporate it more!
The Chocolate Touch was my favorite book when I was in 3rd grade. ❤
It is such a good one!!

I'm glad 3rd grade seems to be going well for you, Katie. My students love read alouds and novels. What's next on your read aloud list for your class?
I think I am going to read Super Fudge next!! My class loves it too! They beg to hear the next chapter almost everyday!
