Do you use Jack and Janet kids take turns reading around the group and answering questions at the end of the session and do you use toby paper back phonics book you write in that is what I did in 3rd grade
I taught for 37 years and now sub. I almost never get a seating chart from the teacher. The first thing I do, is tell the students that mistakes are often made with the sub calls out the roll call. I tell them that I don't want to make a mistake, so I'm going to come to each person individually and check them off. I do that, but i also write a code next to the kid's name. If a boy is sitting in the 4th row, third seat, he's D3. A girl in the 8th row and 2nd seat is H2. If I have to warn someone to be quiet, I don't use the name. Nor do I use it the 2nd time. On the 3rd, I'll use the name and tell him or her that this is the third warning. Generally, they get the message. I'll tell that person, that I should report the misconduct to the teacher, BUT if it stops now, I'll let it go. This usually works.
I love love love this! Will be starting second grade this year first year of second. Taught third grade three years but been away from teaching two years! I’d really like to know the essentials of making the year a breeze! Will only be teaching math and science! Yay!
Clara Bingham on RU-vid has a very useful video on handling students, especially those with ADHD, I think it would be very instructive. Just search for "clara bingham ADHD".
are the book bind labels editable. I am a bilingual teacher and need to write in a different language Do you have a video how to set up book bins for the library and what label goes with what?..
i truly enjoy your content...however you move your camera very fast and I have to stop watching and I tent to get dizzy. I started following you on Instagram
We got a form for our preference however I didn’t get one of choice…. So that being said I got assigned to 3rd and I’m trying to wrap my mind around it. Any advice with this grade?
Although I'm not a full-time teacher, I'm going to start teaching Vacation Bible School to 2nd graders next week. This vid was sooo helpful in first day procedures and how to organize my days for the kids. I really appreciate it!! <3
I teach a 2/3/4 in Australia. 3 different curriculums is so much fun 🫠 but it’s amazing, find the through lines and teach to ability. I’ve got mixed class reading groups, math groups etc. I’ve only ever taught a straight year level once and ability was just as diverse as I have now.
The kids have their own trading card economy at our school “character cards” which they can earn for good character, it’s also with their favorite characters on the cards. Every week they can earn them if they succeed throughout the week.
This is my 17th year all at the same school. I'm that teacher you're referring to...the one who has taught 2nd grade for 15 years and 3rd grade for two years. The first year I taught 3rd, I looped up with my 2nd grade class then taught one more year of third after that. I missed 2nd grade so much that I asked my principal to move me back. LOL....I LOVED the independence of 3rd graders but hated the standardized testing aspect of it all. Never again.
When I was in 6th grade I was apart of a 5th/6th combo class. It was mainly 5th graders and then like 8 of us were 6th graders. I don't remember it being a bad experience and it was also the first time I had a male teacher. I also remember we sat at a kidney type table and the 5th graders were at traditional desks. The way you described the way they make combos makes sense at least for the type of student I was. I do not think it hindered my learning or love for learning in any way. I was also in California at the time. Now I am a teacher and have been in Texas since I was 16.
Lololol. Im a former peds psychiatric RN and my first sub job was 9th grade social studies. My other degree is in HR Management... I feel your first placement. 😂😂😂
Wow, split grades is a very typical thing in my school. No perks given, and certainly behavioural children not exempt. Your situation sounds lovely. Enjoy the year ahead!
THE PERKS 😮. I started my first year teaching two grade levels. My perk was that someone planned the instructional progression for me by the day. They looked at where standards crossed and wrote daily objectives based on that info. It was a huge beast to tackle on their part, but it saved me so much time and headache in the long run 😊
