You are so organized. What a great classroom set up! Lucky kids and parents.

I really appreciate this video. I've always benefited from your videos and resources.

I really enjoying your walkthough reading lesson in 1st grade class, I feel confident about my student teaching & mini teaching for next year !

Love your videos1 Would love to know more about how you progress monitor the kids!

Hi, I love your videos and resources. Thank you for taking your time out of your busy schedule to make these videos. What do you use to make your daily slides?

I love all your videos. You truly are an inspiration. Where is the small reading group lessons from? These look amazing.

Thank you ❤️ ! The outline and template is from Hill for Literacy and then teachers in my district worked together to create the ready-made lessons for decodables we currently have!

The decodable What a Thrill. Are your first grade students reading at this level October of first grade? Wow!

Hi Stephanie! Only one group is reading that book!! They are above grade level expectations for this part of the year, of course! The rest of my students are beginning to work in CVC decodables! I had just been working with that group and already had the stuff out to walk you through it!

Hi Susan, I love your videos. Are the schedule cards in your shop on TPT? Thanks!

This is so helpful. Thank you for sharing! I know you mentioned you have 15 minutes and that you probably have to do this small group lesson in two parts. How many students do you have per group? I love that the lessons are already made for you. We have a template for small groups as well, but we also plug in what heart words they are missing from our district list. I like that you focus on the heart words in the book. I often struggle to get all the parts finished in our 15-minute groups. Thank you again for sharing this! I'd love it if our district could do this with our decodables!

So I only have 17 students (😬😬 don’t throw tomatoes!!) so I am able to do groups of 3-4 that I meet with about 4 times per week with my needier groups being seen every day! The lessons already being prepped is a HUGE timesaver!!! From my understanding it was a stipend position and teachers got paid to do this over the summers to align with our lessons and our decodables that we already have. A win-win!

Thanks again for another great video! I would also love to see your book bunch lessons on TPT. 😀

I hope to get them up there next week! I will send out an email when they go up!

Do you sell the behavior management sticker sheets on TPT? I love that idea!

This was awesome, I loved how knowledgeable you are. You make it so inspiring. I wish I had a mentor like you, so amazing. 10:40 pm BQ, k-4 Invention

Hi.. I’ve been following your videos for quite some time. Very useful. Informative. I would like to know how and when should we introduce times tables for kids.

Thank you! I would think 3rd grade as that's when they really dive into multiplication!

Hello.Great video. May I ask what the math kit called? Awesome tool kit

Susan your videos are amazing and have been so helpful in my teaching. I have a question about the sounding out you do in steps 3 and 4 of the small group activities (about minute 19). You pronounced the blends: tr-, fr-, and cr- as /ter/, /fer/, and /ker/. When I was trained in LTRS and OG we were instructed to be careful about making the r like a puppy bark sound and not with the /er/ sound. I'm just curious if that is something I should still stress when sounding things out with students?

My first grader is not reading fluently and her books she doesn’t understand when letters sometimes make other sounds. I’m so lost on how to help..

Are the slides you use for the morning meeting (e.g., Tell me Tuesday, Breathing slide etc.) and the phonics slides with mouth pictures available for purchase? They are wonderful!

I've noticed Flyleaf and Whole Phonics decodables in your classroom. What is your favorite decodables for first graders?

Can you share what curriculum you use for reading and ela?

Hi. You are a wonderful teacher. Woza! How do you have time to make such engaging lessons and still manage to maintain a great work life balance? Would you mind sharing which state you teach in? It looks beautiful! Thank you!

Good morning! Can I ask if you can share your schedule cards? Or do u have them for sale? Thank you!!

That was great! How long have you taught 1st grade?

Thank you so much giving you love all the way in south africa..your videos are so informative and helping...can you please do a video that help with words such as kite - cat,like how I can help my child understand the difference like why the other starts with K and other with C she is struggling with that and I don't know how to help. Another example is tow-saw and cow-car cause they sound similar but different when written. I'm really struggling with teaching her that.

Hello! Do you have Math Task Cards for Grade 2?

I'm teaching first grade for the first time in the fall! Do you think first graders can sit in groups of six from the start of the year? My classroom is tiny and creating groups will save floor space. I don't want to deal with constant off-task behavior and distractions during independent working time, but putting students in pairs or rows will clutter the room.

I really like the simplistic slides you showed. Are those something you made?

@SusanJonesTeaching

Yes! I make them each week to go along with my plans! I just made a template in Canva for the daily plan, then I add images to Google Slides!

Hi Susan!!! You are amazing!!! Do you sell your morning meeting slides on TPT? I have some that I love, but I like that yours had some academic slides thrown in as well. :)

I don’t right now, no! But I hope to soon since many have asked for them!!

Your say and Spell worksheet--is that on a unit on tpt?

Do those lesson plans for the decodables come with the books, or did your district make those themselves to go along with them?

Where can I access the lesson plan you refer to at 17:14 in the video?

You said you work with 2 maybe 3 groups a day. How many groups do you have and how often do you meet with each?

Hey, I’m a new site sub teacher for 4th grade reading. I was wondering…. Are the lesson plans the teachers make fairly easy and don’t require much work or will I have some work in front. I’m comfortable with PE lesson planning, however, my school needs cite subs and my endorsement isn’t with reading, but in PE.

What kind of decodables do you use again? I know you said it somewhere!!

We have a few different ones! The one in this video is from Whole Phonics. We also have FlyLeaf and PhonicsBooks!

When you leave the slides for the substitute do you just print them out on a piece of paper for her to show under the doc camera?

They actually have access to the slides from the sub email address! So they can login to our smart board and display them! I print them out just in case tech doesn’t work!

What is the difference between Fundations and Heggerty? My school just recently told us we are getting Heggerty. We have been using Scholastic for Reading and Phonics. What is your opinion on Heggerty? Also can you share the data forms you use to track your students data. I am in the process of setting up a data binder for myself and not really finding good data forms to use. Thanks, as always I love your videos and products! Enjoy your long weekend.

Hi Jill! Fundations is a phonics program and Heggerty is for phonological and phonemic awareness! We do both - first Heggerty (takes about 8-10 minutes per day) then Fundations for about 20-30 minutes. I enjoy Heggerty and they recently updated their manuals to move students to phonemic awareness faster which I appreciate. I have been compiling my data on Google Sheets, then I have a binder filled with some beginning of the year assessments and end of chapter units so I can easily pull from those during conferences.

Hi Susan, I have a question about the clip cards in the boxes- if that is a station for small group, how do you hold students accountable for their work at that station?

Also, are you allowed to share the template that your district uses to break down the books for small group?

@SusanJonesTeaching

Hi Natalie! I pair students up for that one and they must "check" one another before going on to the next card! It is not fool-proof, but I taught them how to do this in small groups with me first, so it's pretty good!

The template itself I believe is from Hill for Literacy which is the company we partnered with to build and design these lessons. The 10 step pyramid image ( I shared in my last video) is the template and process we follow to create the lessons!@@natalieboyer9265
