My wife and I - both teachers in California - counted 5 of our combined classroom ideas/policies that were directly from your videos. Thanks from us both! 🙂

I’m not a teacher, don’t even have kids, but I find this so fascinating! It’s clear you put a ton of thought and passion into your work, and I’m sure the kids are thriving because of it! Definitely remembering some of your wisdom when I do have kids someday.

Best of Luck to you! Your students are lucky to have you, and your classroom looks terrific.

I love your thought process and your enthusiasm, your room is also lovely. You are obviously a pro!

I loved this vlog. It was real! So many great ideas. I start teaching in a few months in 4th grade and cant wait to try out some of your ideas in my classroom. I love all the links to resources and your other vlogs in order to get more organised and structured

Watched the whole video. So great to see how you “do” fourth grade literacy in new school. Just wonderful!

Love the engagement inventory! Thanks for sharing.

Wishing you the best of luck Bridget! I love to see your weekly vlogs and what you do in your classroom. Your kiddos are lucky to have you as their teacher:)

Thank you so much! It’s been a little hectic with not being at home and while I’m still learning the kids and the school, it’s been going as good as it can ☺️ thank you!

I love your classroom. Thanks!!

Been watching you for years and love following your teaching journey!!!

I love the engagement survey!!!! Also the question of; "How do you take charge of your reading life?"

This was a wonderful vlog! I using your Journey Through the Genres this week and you game me some ideas to tweak it. Plus, your Mission Statement sequence was another helpful clip! You are so inspiring! I was so happy to see your video pop up this morning 😊 I even said, “Hi, Bridget!!” 🤦🏻‍♀️

It worked out incredibly well! I was o impressed with them 🥰

Fantastic video! I love how organically you created the mission statement and code of conduct with your students. They were so involved in every step of the process. I also love the question you asked them about how to take charge of their reading life. So many great nuggets of information. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing your week! I loved your video and your dedication. So inspiring. Yes, how important it is to spend time helping the kids to help themselves in choosing good fit books! Beginning my first full week of second grade for this new school year. Love my job and feel lucky to have found your vlog several years ago. All the best at your new school, Bridget!❤

Great vlog! New school, new bathroom, new you.

Loved this video!!! Thanks for always sharing your ideas. Sending lots of love 💚💚💚

Lol... wait... where did I go? Why are we not partners anymore? BRIDGET IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TELL ME?! 😂

I feel like I'm walking along side of you. The beginning of the school year can be overwhelming.

Thank you for sharing! Hope you have an amazing year!

I loved your scenario cards to help kids to think about goals based on their reading behaviors. Is this something you have in your TPT shop? I want them!

Thx!! Love your room!! Where is your easel with the rolls of paper from??

Your doing great!

I love the mission statement. I'm going to have to do that next year as a start to the school year activity.

Love this gave me some great ideas!

All awesome! Thanks for sharing!

This was excellent - we have very similar processes👍🏽 love the flow charts and how/to lists Questions: Data Binder contents, reading log configuration -the look of them- I so appreciate you! Keep striving ❤

Love the Writing Workshop idea!!🥰

Our district adopted FPC for our reading curriculum. I've noticed that students are struggling during independent reading time, too. I love the engagement survey. What do you plan to do with it after you have observed the kiddos for a bit? Will you conference with them about it?

Loved seeing all your videos.

I think this vlog was great! I love your organization!

Loved this video! Great idea for the genre posters - totally stealing that one!😊

This was so helpful! I'm always looking for new ideas! I like the genre study! We create a Social Contract, which is similar to what you do.

Great vlog.

I love watching your videos. You’re the dream teacher - so dedicated! How do you do with maintaining home/work balance?

I get to school an hour early and leave work at 3:45. I make the choice to not take work home so I have learned to be good about how I use my time at school.

Watching your videos makes me want to teach reading! I'd love to see some of your strategies for teaching social studies.

I am the exact same with the slides. Idk how people manage that, it's so much easier to just pull things out.

It is a great video. 👍 I appreciate you too. 😊 thanks amazing ideas 💡

Thanks for the great videos!

Please keep me in your prayers I had to retire early because I am currently battling cancer.

totally inspiring video 👏👏👏⭐️

Great video!! Would love to hear how u are liking yr new school.

Love seeing your new journey. Question - how in the world are you keeping the chalkboard clean? Are you liking chalkboard?

I hope you have a great year! I moved schools and grade level this year as well. I went from 15 years in elementary to middle school 😱. We just finished up week 3 and so far it has been the absolute best decision ever!!! It is strange that your schedule changes so much and you don’t have specials every day. Very weird. You seem to be Adjusting well to your changes. I’m happy for you!

This was a great video!🤗😊

I was wondering what all you do with the information you gather in the engagement inventory. Is this for conferences for goals and picking books or do you actually use it for a grade? Also where did you find your reading scenarios?

How much planning time do you get a week in your district?

Please tell me about your easel with the scrolls!

Omg I love that book

Is there a way to purchase scenario cards?

Bridget, I want to gift one of my teacher friends and I believe she can adapt the book passport system. Can you share the link? - Love your videos and I also want to be an English teacher

Wow, you have two recesses?!

Hi. How can I apply in your school as a teacher?

i live in south africa and seeing your grade 4 learners finish at 3:45 is so weird to me. we start classes at 8 and finish at 2!! seems so late for little kiddos to finish at 3:45
