Why Your Child Needs a Virtual Tutor- Now

Whether you realize it or not, students were out of school for almost five months before returning to virtual or traditional school. Even if they had some sort of instruction, it was probably not as rigorous as it normally would be considering all the changes that were happening. When students are out of school for the summer, just two months, they have drastic learning gaps. Imagine what they are experiencing now. Virtual Learning Challenges Students are online entirely too

The Value of Education: Karen Fitch

The Value of Education: Karen Fitch

Education is very important to me and always has been. As a child I was very shy and had a hard time making friends. I had amazing teachers in elementary school that showed me care and compassion and helped to push me and get me out of my shell. They would make sure I had someone to sit with and work with. I always felt welcome and comfortable in their classrooms. Many of my early teachers helped to introduce me to my first friends. I am forever grateful for their guidan

Helpful Strategies for Students: Reading Quick Check for Understanding

Helpful Strategies for Students: Reading Quick Check for Understanding

(Embedded in Engage NY Curriculum) One strategy I use daily in all content areas of curriculum is the Thumb-Ometer to check for understanding. I like the efficiency and effectiveness of being able to use this at random to check in with my students at any point during a lesson, as it takes seconds to show and assess independent student learning, and also gives them a chance to self-assess their own learning! This also allows me a quick visual to gauge whether I can move quick

Parent Teacher Communication

Parent Teacher Communication

I know. Teachers are just trying to get back in the grove of school. What's the point of calling parents? Their kid has not done anything yet! Let's just have fun... Nah! I highly recommend that every teacher contact every single students' parents within the first two weeks of school. It is essential. You can lesson plan all you want. You can run the best management plan, which will help. Nonetheless, parents know their kids. It's important that you make the time to learn you

Student Group Expectations

Student Group Expectations

With students, you have to be as clear as possible with what you would like for them to do. This is especially true for valuable small group instruction. Teachers cannot waste these precious minutes, yet they realize they cannot do everything on their own. Strong teachers show students how to be independent and allow them to be leaders in the classroom. Aside from normal classroom jobs, I have created jobs for students during our Literature Circles, Math and Reading Stations,

Teachers First Week Jitters

Do teachers have jitters during the first week of school? Absolutely! We have to make so many adjustments for our own schedules. We have to welcome in brand new children who we may not have a clue about knowing. We have lesson plans due, but we know we probably won't cover everything. Ahhhh!! This blog is to remind you that you are human. You are the best teacher in the world, but all of the stresses of teaching that you feel are normal. I have listed some mental notes to kee

Stations Management Galore!

It's time to start thinking about how you're going to provide small group instruction to your students. Whole group does not always do the trick, so I am happy to share how I plan to run centers for my students each day. ELA Stations These stations will happen in my classroom from Monday - Thursday for 45 minutes. On Fridays, students will of course have testing, but also have the chance to engage in leveled nonfiction readers. Students will be split into three strategic grou

Meet the Teachers Centers

I am so proud to share that my first Meet the Teacher Night at Abney Elementary was a complete success!! I was so happy to meet all of my wonderful children and their parents. Originally, I wondered if I was overdoing it with the centers for parents. However, I was able to get a lot of pertinent information for every single one of my students to be successful this school year. Here's what I did: Station 1 - Sign In, Transportation, Pick a Seat, Store Supplies This seemed like

Confessions of a First Year Teacher

Confessions of a First Year Teacher

Going into my first year of teaching, I thought I was ready. I went to the top teaching school in MS - Go Eagles! I had student taught & interned longer than the normal. For the first time in my life, I can accept the truth - I didn't know what the heck I was doing. It wasn't that I didn't know the content. Education programs make sure you have that part, but classroom management 😩 On top of that, I was in an inner city school!! This post is for those first year teachers who
