I feel like I’m fairly competent when it comes to the Google apps but I always learn new things when I watch your videos!They are so helpful!

This is amazing! The fact that you share this knowledge for free when others charge! You’re truly the best! ❤

Thank you SO much, Michelle! Your videos are so helpful and I’m always learning new things from you! Just made my own Four in a Row to try out this week with my 1st graders (and changed it to be Halloween colors) so they’ll have so much fun playing it against me as we practice our Fundations words! 😊

Michelle, you are always right on time with your resources. As we get closer to Thanksgiving break and winter break, we really need some fun, engaging activities to keep our students excited about learning. Games always add a nice little competitive edge to learning, too. Thanks for continuing to present inspiring ideas for teachers to try out. We appreciate all you do! Have an amazing weekend! 💜

Thank you Michelle. I teach transitional kindergarten and use an interactive whiteboard. Is there a way to lock the size of the gameboard pieces?
@user-ut5qm1fq7j 1 month ago

I tried to go back and find this information, but I just can’t, what did you do to stop the students from being able to change the background it’s the step before you start inserting the movable pieces but I just can’t identify it, thanks 1 million in advance! You are awesome!

Hi Michelle !, I am a little itchy to see your Hungry Hungry Hippo game in demonstration because My Teachers NEVER tried that nor had it like that when I was a young autistic school student. You truly are in ways what My Hospital Doctors would have ordered. - Dwight

Thank you kindly. I appreciate your motivation " put your positive pants on"! I really feel discouraged!! Did you return to primary teaching? I remember you resigned. If you have returned I want you to know that you are appreciated. Interesting teacher video. Gracefully yours.
