Definitely team physical books to write side notes and highlight.

I have recently found your channel and loving your videos! I’ve been teaching for 20 years and spent the last 8 years as a reading specialist. I made a huge decision to move from a huge district to a small district and go back to the classroom next year. Your videos are helping me SO much!! Thank you. I plan to binge watch most of them 😊

[francispanny]

Thank you so much Michelle for those recommendations. Funny you mentioned "HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION IN ACADEMICALLY DIVERSE CLASSROOMS". I read that book as one of the textbooks assigned to my "Curriculum Development and Assessment" classes in Graduate school. Very good book indeed. I should've gotten the companion quick reference guide you mentioned. I will get it. Keep up the great service you do for us.

Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!

[orfafoss]

Thank you so much Michelle for this video! I have read “The Happy Teacher Habits…”

[muhammadazim]

WOW... it's been fantastic to watch Thank you much

[imeldaoneill]

Yes, I highlight. I also annotate in the margins and use a system of stars to rank the importance of the information.

[taracamarano]

Totally highlight in physical books! 🙌🏼

[karenfoot]

I don't use a highlighter when I read, instead I use sticky notes that stick out of the top of the book. I can make notes on the sticky note and I can easily return to that page.

[amandacalifano]

Thank you for recommending books with your honest review! Sometimes it's overwhelming to choose which book to read because there are so many out there!

[dwilson]

Heyyy... 

I Love highlighting books as I read them, although I do love using Apple books to read and highlight them. Then I have digital access to it anytime and anywhere on any device I need.

I am a very avid reader to the point that as I am reading a book, I plan ahead for the next three so I am never left with nothing to read! That being said, this video was great! You already know that I read your book and while you say it's geared towards elementary, I can say from personal experience as a middle school teacher that I had many takeaways from your book. I'm very intrigued by the classroom management book. One thing I take pride in as a teacher is my classroom management, but I am always looking to try new techniques, so I think I will check this one out. I also have already listened to your podcast episodes about atomic habits and I keep saying I will read that book. I think it's time to pull the trigger and get it! A book I enjoyed was "Shattering the perfect teacher myth". Thank you again for all that you do and I can't wait for next week's video (and it will drop on my OFFICIAL LAST DAY!) Happy summer!

[MrsSweep]

I have never highlighted a book!I just can't write in a book! I get a spiral notebook and take notes, or I use post-it notes. My college texts were like new! Great for resales! I hated when previous teachers would highlight or write in the margins in the teacher's manual! UGH! BTW, I have read 2 of the books you mentioned, Atomic Habits, and your book, of course!

[robinbench]

Read Atomic Habits because of you and loved it!!!
The 5am Club and The Four Tendencies are also great reads.

[amandawilkins]

Thanks for your recommendations, Michelle! I prefer physical books for professional development so I can annotate, but digital for fiction books that are just for fun. I have read three of the books you mentioned, but I would like to read them all. What I also want to read for next year is more books to support lower level English Language Learners, especially students who are new to the U.S. Also, I will be mentoring a first-year teacher next year, so I am going to buy her a copy of your book! Thanks for all you do. Have an amazing week! 💜

[patriciabucko]

Teach Like a Pirate by Dave So inspiring. One of my favorite parts - If they charged a fee to attend your class - who would go? It's all about being the best you to meet the needs of all your learners.

[tokkonai]

I’d also recommend “Otherful” by Mike Kleba and Ryan O’Hara, it gives an entirely new perspective of not only how to teach but the fundamentals of being in a leading role in any scenario

[thenumberseven]

I read that first book in my college class last semester :). Only 2 years left before I'm in a classroom of my own!

[BrandiP]

I already have Hacking Classroom Management on my list. Definitely looking into adding a few of these.
