I loved how long this was! it was so helpful. I'm a first year teacher and very interested in Project Based Learning. this was such a great video that really showed what it is like. it's great to read books but to see it in action makes all the difference. great video :)
+Ashley Zimmerman I love that you enjoyed the video. I was so worried about the length but it's hard to show everything planning entails in only 15-20 minutes.
I've just come across this video and I love your straightforward, purposeful approach to planning for Project Based Learning. Would love to see more planning videos in the future.
Greetings from Spain! I´ve just come across your page and I must say I think you seem to be a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your way of planning. Wonderful to see and listen.
Thanks for doing this video. I am in the middle of muddling through making the transition of just doing projects in my classroom to doing PBL the right way and this was a big help. You really helped me be able to apply what I've been reading about PBL to actual practice. I'm teaching a new grade level this year and have been procrastinating on planning because it just seemed so overwhelming and now I'm excited to get going on it. Thank you again!
Yay! Thank you so much for going back through the older videos. I still feel like the content is very relevant and sometimes I feel like it is just sitting there. Thank you for the nice comments as always!
Loved this video. Thought project based learning would be so difficult to plan. Thank you for making this less daunting and a great way to tie many subjects together!
Omg I'm so excited to watch this video I'm going to get up at 5:30am to watch it before school tomorrow! Yippee an hour long video, so sad I need to go to bed right now!
Where do I begin?! Saying that I love your channel is a understatement. This past school year was my first year as a teacher assistant, which has now motivated me to go back to school to become a teacher! This upcoming fall I start my long 5 year journey to become a elementary educator! (BTW I've been out of school for 10 years! OMG) anyway I just loved this video I am kind of jumping the gun trying to learn about lesson planning but I enjoy it and this video just blew my mind. I am so excited to see how your channel is going to be now that you are going to 4th grade! Please keep doing this you are helping me sooooo much! :) I understand teachers are busy though! Thank you again ~ Tasha
Thank you so much for watching my channel! You definitely keep me motivated and wanting to continue making videos! I wish you the best as you begin your journey (back) into education! Stay positive, it is so rewarding! You will be awesome!
Go you! Your Brain works fast lol! I can tell you put a lot of planning into this project for the kids, as well as sharing it with us. I appreciate it :)
Great video! I teach Social Sciences research to Master's students and found this incredibly helpful for planning our PBL for the semester. I almost fell off my chair when I heard the reminder at the end of the video that you are planning for kindergartners. Blown away by what kids that age are doing these days! Thanks for your efforts both in the classroom & in sharing with other teachers!
I've worked with traditional schools until last year (2021) In Latinamerica, schools usually do not work like this, so PBL has been a challenge. Your video has helped incredibly. Thank you so much! Best regards from HN
WOW!!!! This was such an informative video! I love the way you planned for PBL, especially how many different resources you pulled out. Also to see how you transferred your unit planning into planbook was really helpful. You've done an awesome job at integrating your students learning, offering the students a lot of choices for how they learn/present their info which is customised to them. Would really love to see another Plan with me video when you have time. Thanks again :) :) :)
Thank you so much for the kind words. Plan with me videos...are a bit different. I will probably be doing more, but I'm not sure that I will run them through the CZcams channel.
Thank you very much for your video!!! I would like to receive more videos from you, they are very important to me. I' m very grateful for your help. Greetings from Argentina.
Im in school for elementary education and recently found your channel. You are so motivating! Thats for giving a behind the scenes look at teaching its very helpful!!!
This is awesome! While my kiddos are on the older end of the spectrum (middle school!), this was still really helpful for me to see your thought process on PBL. We're starting to implement a STEAM model in my school, and PBL is a huge part of that - and something that I NEED to work on in my own teaching! I think this will be hugely helpful for me this summer as I work on training as a STEAM Lead Teacher for the Fine Arts department!
This video has been really helpful! I've just got my first teaching job for September with a year one class (kindergarten in the UK!) so have been watching all of your videos!
enlightening video! Even though the education system is way different here in China, and PBL is still a new thing here, I got some great inspiration from you. Hope my new school can be a game changer here.
First!I love your videos they are so inspirative if that's a word lol If you can can you do another vlog of or in your classroom cause I love when u do those videos
Loved loved loved watching this, and love ur whole detailed walk through into ur planning, it is very helpful. One question though, what is mentor text?
Hi, this has been super helpful as I have just started at a new school and they use Project Base Learning. Your link for the template did not show up at the end? Can you suggest where else I could find it? Thanks
Hi :) Thanks for that interesting video. Do you do all your planning on your computer? I remember a planning video of you doing Valentine's Week in your teacher planner ... Do you always do both? Do you print these plans and check them off, when you have tought it? Sarah
+S88PD06 Hey Sarah! So I am always changing things up. I am trying to start using Planbook.com because it is so easy to plan with and I like being able to pull it up on my phone or really anywhere. Now, I use my computer to plan and then as the week goes on I writ it in my planner. So on Sunday night I look at the day and do a quick write of what I am doing on Monday. The on Monday after school I do the same for Tuesday. So in case we need to review more or focus on a topic for a little longer I can make that adjustment in my planner and go off of that throughout the school week. I hope that makes sense.
+The Lettered Classroom I work in a British school here so although our kids are mainly local kids (apart from staff children) we teach them exactly the same (curriculum wise) as we would at home. (I am Canadian). I use the same language, teach the same concepts and do the same activities as I would if I was at home. It's all on par with a Canadian curriculum. Not all schools are like this, and I do at times run into language barrier issues. For earth day we do exactly the same as at home as well. This year we talked about things we can do to help save our earth. They are quite aware - saying things like 'use less water' 'recycle materials' ' don't litter' etc. All that being said there are definite cultural differences that make being here neat. The holidays they celebrate and lingo I've learned while being here for one, it's definitely a cool experience. I have two kids of my own who are growing up here too - 6 and 4! Definitely a different childhood than my own. Thanks for asking!
+Derrick Robinson - We use a Sony A6000 ...but upgrading to the A6300 is very tempting with the 4K, Faster Auto focus and the addition of the Audio port would be so helpful.
+susanne marti to be honest I am not sure. My school set up our accounts for us one year so I never had to do it myself. I did look into it for you and it seems you need a passcode to set up an account and that has to be obtained from your administrator. I would have them look into it! It gives you amazing pictures, videos, articles. It is seriously amazing!
Earth day is not talked about anymore and has very little social media presence. Biodiversity has a more practical ability to deal with climate change rather than switching light off for an hour.
I couldn't leave without leaving you a thank you note . That was awesome
Now that is a really functional Plan With Me video, loved it. Looking forward for more like these. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you SO much for sharing this AND sharing the lesson plan/template! This is exactly what I needed to help me get started on my first project!
It was nice to see your thinking/planning process- very helpful!
+Noelia Rodriguez Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it!
I've just come across this video and I love your straightforward, purposeful approach to planning for Project Based Learning. Would love to see more planning videos in the future.

I ❤ this video! It taught me so much about the importance of planning quality lessons for your students! 😀 Thank you so much! 😀
Yay! Thank you so much for going back through the older videos. I still feel like the content is very relevant and sometimes I feel like it is just sitting there. Thank you for the nice comments as always!
The Lettered Classroom You are very welcome. A lot of the formative assessments you selected for this lesson I have also used as well.
Your content is AMAZING. This will be so helpful for me this year. Thank you!!
This is my favorite video of yours that I've seen yet. Please do more Plan With Me videos!
Unfortunately, these types of videos don't do very well. I try and squeeze them in every so often.
Loved this video. Thought project based learning would be so difficult to plan. Thank you for making this less daunting and a great way to tie many subjects together!
Thank you for the kind comment :)

+Olli85Olli Thank you. I cut out a bit of the 'thinking' part but I've done it for so long so that helps me too.
Please do another PBL plan with me! Maybe this time for an older grade! This was sooo helpful.
Great video! I teach Social Sciences research to Master's students and found this incredibly helpful for planning our PBL for the semester.

+Emily Roberts Oh great! Let me know how it all works out for you.
I have not even started watching yet, but when I saw the length I let out an audible "Yippee!".
+Amy Hahahahahaha.... this made me laugh so hard! Thank you.
Bunches thanks for making this video, it obviously helped me!!!!! mwaaaaaaah

Excellent and helpful
enlightening video! Even though the education system is way different here in China, and PBL is still a new thing here, I got some great inspiration from you. Hope my new school can be a game changer here.
Thanks for sharing this in-depth lesson planning process! When you plan, do you think about your students' strengths/weaknesses/needs?
First!I love your videos they are so inspirative if that's a word lol If you can can you do another vlog of or in your classroom cause I love when u do those videos
+Omaima Bahou Thank you so much! I am so glad that you enjoy the videos.
What a great video ! loved it!
+curlydo32 Thank you!
great video!
I enjoyed this video. Hope you do more planning videos.
I may do more in the future but I think that I am going to save those videos for my Patreon page, especially with the current changes on CZcams.
Great video. You made it look so simple. Can you please make another plan for a middle or upper grade?
Yes! A fellow simmer! (Noticed the sims icon on bottom of your screen) :)
+Paige's Pages Yes! I love that game!!!!
This was super helpful! Thank you!
thank you , you saved my life
Thank you so much for sharing!
Loved loved loved watching this, and love ur whole detailed walk through into ur planning, it is very helpful. One question though, what is mentor text?
Thank you for this video. I tried opining the links attached, but none of them worked.
Thanks so much for this video!
Love the video and already have the planbook. Is there a link with your form? I love how user friendly it is:)
Loved this but instead of using the word hate, use dislike. Just a recommendation
While I was checking on this with my son Joshua he said you are once his teacher at Rogers
I'd like to try out a project based lesson thanks for the info
+Simply Creative Today You are so welcome! Let me know how it works out.
Hi, this has been super helpful as I have just started at a new school and they use Project Base Learning. Your link for the template did not show up at the end? Can you suggest where else I could find it? Thanks
Hi :)

Do you do all your planning on your computer? I remember a planning video of you doing Valentine's Week in your teacher planner ... Do you always do both?

I would love a copy of your Editable PBL Template. When I clicked on the link, it said I was denied. I asked for permission. Thanks
How to I get access to your PBL Template?
great I just understood what's d pbl
What program do you use to create your template?
I'm in Dubai and we do Earth Day!
+aeelayyan Do you do anything special? I would love to learn more about other cultures..
+The Lettered Classroom I work in a British school here so although our kids are mainly local kids (apart from staff children) we teach them exactly the same (curriculum wise) as we would at home.

We celebrate earth day in England
Hi! a clicked on the link for your blog and got an error- can you send me the new one?
Sorry! This is before I changed it! It is updated for my recent and new videos :) www.theletteredclassroom.com/
Love your videos, find them very inspiring. Do you know any pre k teachers who have similar channels?
+Helen Almond I don't. The teacher community on CZcams is still new and growing. I am hoping that it will grow in the future.
Is "Discovery Education" free?
+susanne marti to be honest I am not sure. My school set up our accounts for us one year so I never had to do it myself. I did look into it for you and it seems you need a passcode to set up an account and that has to be obtained from your administrator. I would have them look into it! It gives you amazing pictures, videos, articles. It is seriously amazing!

ich bin derzeit in der Schule
