I also included some "watch me teach" clips so that you can see what teaching 5th grade remotely looks like in my classroom. Thank you for joining me!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the teaching clips! I love the "send it" "don't send it" count down! I'll be using that tomorrow with my kiddos!

    I can't believe you are only going into a third year. You are truly a gifted teacher in so many ways. And your video editing is also getting so good.

      Omg yesssss I could literally have three a day and I would be so happy! I've been trying to figure out a dupe at home and nothing compares. You are far more gifted with cooking/baking though so if you ever figure something out that's similar, "spill the tea" (haha, get it? 😉)

    You could add M labels to the minecraft books. Just so you can file them away. And also make them easy to find.

  • @didiafajardo9960

    How do you separate your own books from the schools’? Do you still put labels on all of the books regardless ?

  • @nicoleschuman8671
    @nicoleschuman8671 Před 2 lety +1

    Do you let students check books out or are they for in-class use only? I'm trying to get ideas for my classroom!!

  • @emmadonohue1828
    @emmadonohue1828 Před 3 lety

    Hi Kim! I know you and your kids do the 40 book challenge and you focus on genre. I was wondering with the new library system if you also have labels for the genre or if you are having your kiddos try and assign a genre to the books because they are upper elementary

    • @ElementaryInTheMitten
      @ElementaryInTheMitten  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi, Emma!! I have the kids figure out the genre and they do a really good job with this. I have them ask me if they need help, though! 😊

    Hi, I’m a 2nd grade teacher in Ottawa Canada! I just love watching your videos! Quick question for you... I saw a timer on a slide you showed while your kids were on a break. Where did you get it from? I love the idea of integrating it to the slide... Anyway, keep up the good work 😊

    • @ElementaryInTheMitten
      @ElementaryInTheMitten  Před 3 lety

      Hi, Michelle! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! I just look up the timers on CZcams (I search “____ minute timer”) and then I insert them into the slide! It works great!!

  • @auntkrispy
    @auntkrispy Před 3 lety

    How do you keep inventory of what books you have in your library? And is there a way for your students to search your database to find a book on a specific topic or genre? And do they have a check in/check out policy so you know who has a book if it's missing or another student is looking for it?

    • @ElementaryInTheMitten
      @ElementaryInTheMitten  Před 3 lety

      I wish I had a better answer for this! I've tried a bunch of different things but honestly I haven't found any great solutions. I just started using the app Book Retriever and it's okay but not great.

    just curious why your school decided to already go back to in person learning? Cases and hospitalizations and deaths are still rising everyday and it’s so sad and I just can’t help but feel sick to my stomach when I hear that :( but nonetheless I was just wondering, loving your vlogs as always, Kim! :)
