I use the exact same poem with my students now as a form of encouragement in Science. Thank you for all you do!

GoldenWarrior7 smart

I teach in this school district and I can tell you that the kids are not this well behaved, but I can say they do know how to act when an administrator comes in to view my class. The school where I teach is so bad you have to act crazy with the kids to get them to behave. I can say that the thing that has helped me the most is I set routine and procedure in my classroom.

@@darynfreeman3643 Absolutely true.

It's actually not bad To be Jealous but stop capping.

@@user-os7hq8qg1i about bribing students with candy? That's not cap lol, happens more times than you might think

Lol 👍

Sounds like she she checks their notebooks, and more than likely push studying heavy on them. That's how it was for me in high school. We would get a zero daily grade if we didn't memorize terms or didn't have our notes, etc.

I'm not the teacher (just filmed her), but I'll see if she can come comment

It would help a lot

Bacha Gaming so the way to teach in class ??? Unless do this.

Hugging

That is not powerpoint it is ActivInspire for Promethean ActivBoards you have to make the backgrounds yourself

Jasmine Lin that is true...having your lesson objective rolling none stop is very helpful specially for inclusion classes

This is a function on ActivInspire software that comes with the Promethean Boards. It has something your can download to make these

shebrownsuga Bethune elementary in New Orleans. Thank you! I'll let her know how her video is getting attention :)

Wish i had her as my teacher

shebrownsuga yeeeeesssssss!!!!

Very inspirational! Ms. Rachal is doing things right! I’m taking notes...

Zandra Davis no, I did this for her because she was nominated for teacher of the Year.

She inspires me to learn my craft in a more excellent way! Kudos to her!

I barely cover that much in 90

Jermaine Hatcher unfortunately we still go over them as mini lessons since most students do not retain information for long

Yes, it's review, but the sentences get more complicated, so it becomes a little more challenging to find them.

Selina L yes around her neck

I use a microphone in a small class because I frequently lose my voice and it does not project well. It takes the strain out of your voice and kids can hear better!

The school is in a predominately Black neighborhood in a predominantly Black city (New Orleans)

I teach in Memphis, TN and in many neighborhoods there are predominately Black and Hispanic families and inevitability our schools reflect the demographic of the community. It’s the same across town where we have predominately White schools as well.

Annotation means you are taking notes, defining words. Commentary is exactly that, you are commenting. What does the passage remind you of? Critical analysis, figuritve language, ECT.

The little black fob on her neck is a microphone. Not sure the brand but we use them too. They work really well so you don't have to speak very loudly and strain your voice all day.

Everything Kayla Same. I watched this entire video in tears. I wish my students cared about their education like those kiddos.

Katie Elizabeth maybe they’re in the gifted class

I mean it kinda looks like they in a private school

@@bellamarcott7059 it's public

Everything Kayla dang

I think so

They used a script

I go to the school

That’s a very interesting reaction to an incredibly well organized and executed lesson 🤔.

As much as I admire how organized this teacher is, it is a little scary that everything is so perfectly conformist. Where is individuality? Personal expression? What if they don't like cookies and don't want to eat cookies?

are you kidding me? This is the best well behaved and most critically thinking class I have ever seen. This teacher is organized and needs an award. I dare you to teach in a really rough title I school then come back and tell me how you truly feel. Your comment is disgusting I hope you will never become a teacher. Stay away from children period.

Students need to learn the academic language so that they can converse about the topics knowledgeably. If you listened to their discussions, you would’ve heard how they are taking what they learned in the lesson and framing their own thinking around that. Their responding in unison is helping cement those tricky academic vocabulary words and academic concepts in their brains so they can easily utilize them independently.

The kids do know they are being recorded so that might have influenced behavior.

For real

@@joshuawalker8297 it's not an odd behavior

@@joshuawalker8297 oh and I do

The kids are engaged in what is going on. Mrs. Rachel does a great job of holding the class’ attention and driving the kids forward.

Cause this was in New Orleans at a predominantly Black public school...

I'm sorry it is not any more weird than is a black person wanted to know why there were no blacks. With all the racists accusations in the news today I wanted to know if this was segregation ,or what the story was. Asking questions is not a bad thing and encourages conversations .

Sasha Kristine *why there were no Black students. But yeah, New Orleans is majority Black city and it’s a public school.

Schools are resegregating.

Why does that surprise you?

Maybe it's because my learning culture is different than in the US since I'm an Asian
