YouTube Videos I Use Throughout the School Year

I do love using YouTube videos but I do not like the ads that come with them and the other suggested videos around the video.  Sometimes the suggestions are appropriate and sometimes they are NOT appropriate.  So I use SafeShare.tv to help take those ads off.  

 First I find the YouTube video I want to show (don't forget to watch any videos before you show them to your students!!!). 


Then I copy the share link on the bottom of the YouTube video (Ctrl+C).  I go to SafeShare.tv. 

 I paste my link and then click on Generate SafeView.


This will generate a safe view for me.  I click on the keep it private box and submit.


Now I click on download the video.


I choose the video format I want ant then download the video to a folder and I now have that video with no ads that I can show in the classroom.



Here are a few of the YouTube videos and channels I use throughout the year.  

1 - Turtlediary - has amazing interactive education videos especially with letter sounds.

2 - Learn ABC's with Nature - this is an excellent video that goes through the alphabet and each letter sound while showing what your mouth looks like when saying the letter sound.  LOVE THIS!!

3 - FirstStepReading - there great videos on the alphabet, letter sounds, letter blending, sight words, letter blending, vowel sounds, long vowels, common blends, irregulars, blends, controlled R sound and great videos for reading tips.  

4 - HookedOnPhonicsTV - great videos on alphabet and letter sounds.

5 - Preschool Prep Company - they have great videos of the letters of the alphabet

I will post more later.  

Enjoy!

Plant Journal Revisted with a New Addition Bean Greenhouse Activity

Image
Hello,  I cannot believe I uploaded my plant journal in 2012!!!  I have been using this plant journal with my students for 12 years!!! My students still get excited when they get their journal and investigate their plant growth.   For the past two years I have started the Bean Greenhouses where my students put a few beans in wet cotton balls, place them in a ziploc and we put them on the window and watch them grow.  This year I have created a quick journal for my students to observe their observations.  I always give 3 beans to each student because the ziploc is rather small for any more.  This year my students will be able to get their Bean Greenhouse journal, put down what day it is of growing and then colour in what stage they see their beans. They can also colour in the weather - sunny, partly sunny or cloudy.     Every year I do a living things unit and plant a radish seed with my students.   However, I have never felt t...

Blank Game Boards

Image
Every year, no matter what grade level I am teaching, I end the year with the students making a game they can play at school and then take it home to play with their family.   And every year it seems I am scrambling to put the materials together for the students.   I have found the younger students really need something concrete they can use.   I came up with these pre-made template.   I made templates without spinners, with different types of spinners and with places for cards.   I have all the templates in a binder in clear plastic protectors and I get the students to pick which template they want the day before we do the activity so I can have the templates ready for the kids.   I also have pre-made squares with various game standards such as “Miss a turn” and Go back 2 spaces” the kids can cut out and glue on the squares they want.   There are also blank squares they can print on to customize their game.   I also give the students a template ...

Teacher Week 2013 Classroom Management

Image
Hi everyone,  I have to say, I'm really enjoying this Teacher Week 2013. It's my first time participating in something like this.  Now on to classroom management. All schools in the Halifax Regional School Board uses Positive Effective Behaviour Supports (PEBS).  This is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours.  It looks at what our students can do and are doing rather than what they shouldn't do and how we as adults interact with them.  Each student receives a PEBS matrix (a gird) to take home and review with their parents and a PEBS matrix is up in every classroom and teachers routinely refer to the PEBS matrix. We also use Gems with the whole school.  Gems are awarded to students who demonstrate positive behaviours as outlined in the PEBS matrix.  Each class has their own jar into which students deposit gems as they receive them.  Each cla...
