We did that following directions activity in 8th grade. It stated the same, but the activities had you stand up sit down shout out something, all kinds of crazy things. I did number 1 and 2. That was so many years ago. This year I am attending my 55 high school reunion. So that activity has been around a long time!

Room looks great as always!! Could you please provide a link to the tabs you used or something similar? Thanks!!!

That's alot of supplies you predo. Do the students not bring supplies?

You are so welcome! Enjoy :)

Could you possible do a video on the friendship braceletts Please? Thank you.Alicia in CT

I would totally stick to the bins. I did the binding for a long time and it was terrible. I felt like kids didn’t read a lot of the books and it was hard to organize even with the bindings. I have the bins now and I feel like kids read a lot more because they can clearly see the covers.

As the school librarian, my shelves were overflowing at the start of the year. It wasn’t long before things got checked out and I had empty shelves. Stick with what you have. Extra books can be added or switched out during the year. That will freshen the selection.

Just get colored tape and placeit on book spine. You could organize books that way . But also, they are in 3rd grade they should be able to handle standing books in shelves

Coming together!

I love the pencil sticks. How did you do it? Paint or spray paint?

Maybe order mountable Pencil holders and mount them on the rightside side wall inside the desks...?

Everything looks great ❤❤❤

Thanks for the video! Can you please link the crayon boxes ?

Yay!! I was looking forward to a 2024 classroom setup video!! For the cubby, I think you should place it furthest left or in the middle!!

Those sharpeners don’t work- I returned mine.

Have you considered using felt or a sheet for your bulletin board? This past year I used a sheet which worked very well. I recently purchased felt as recommended by another teacher who said they had theirs for 6 years and they hadn’t faded. However, we both used black so maybe give it a try in white or perhaps switch to another color to match your decor if you’re concerned about it getting dirty.

Hi!! New subbie here! I love your channel! I was wondering what font you used for the cursive posters? I am having such a hard time finding the right cursive for my posters! I want to make my own as well instead of buying them! Thank you so much!

Love your positivity

Make the long board the 7 habits of happy kids (can be found on TPT

When you're finished setting up your classroom. Do a classroom tour on RU-vid.

Hello from Ohio. I see you and other teachers are always seem to go through a lot paperwork for your students. Your setups seem to be a lot more work than the teachers I grew up having. Of course, we did not have the tech or white boards. Our teachers had blackboards, overhead projectors and regular bulletin boards. Anyway have a great day today 😊.

How exciting to be done with classroom set up! I have done 6 days and not done yet.

When you need to make something magnetic, use magnetic tape. Your door area works for the calendar, but you could move it in the future by using magnetic tape. Aww, sweet that your students want you to read to them more!

I believe i got a tiny extension cord at dollar tree ☺️

I do Class Dojo, as well. But I'm changing how I do it this coming year. 1) Last year, I had a chart with the amount of each reward pisted on the wall. I let them keep their points, and as they got to a certain amount, they let me know, and I gave it to them. I didn't realize that there's a redemption button until after I had promised them never to take their points away ( unless ut was for bad behavior). Some kids had over 1,000 points. I think that made them unmotivated. When they earn a prize, I will deduct them from their total, keeping their balance lower. I think that will motivate them more. 2) I was never sure if they liked the rewards I had. So, I made a survey from Google forms asking what they think of different kinds of rewards ( kinds of candy, lunch bunch, cute school supplies, homework passes). When I get the results from those, I'll make an informed rewards price list.

I found that some of my command strips that were older did not hold, I had to buy fresh ones. I think they lose their ability to hold over time.

Back board idea - We Are Family at the top or in the middle and then add each child's picture along with yours - you all can create fun poses, and everyone would cut out their pose picture. You can even have them glue it on to colored paper, create a border/outline of their picture/pose shape - leaving some space so that they will have a colored outline. The title can also be We Are Room (insert room number). Love you set up videos!!! Thanks for sharing. Will you be creating a planbook flip through - or simply just sharing what planbook you'll be using this school year? Just wondering. 😊

Interesting... Are the questions created by a Canadian? It’s hard to find things spelled correctly for us Canadians... 😂

For your skinny board you can just use a quote like “3rd Grade Rocks” or “Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti”, etc.

I’m just curious about the QR codes.. do your students bring phones to school? Or they use it with the school provided iPads?

Can you share the link to stem labels you created for the drawers? Thanks!

Might need stronger command strips.

Where did you get your DOJO prizes packet or did you make it yourself?

Maybe on the skinny bulletin board do our class is a family and take pictures of your kiddos

Post pictures of your class doing things throughout the year on the long bulletin board. You could call it “Our Classroom Happenings”.

How did you make your classroom hub letters? I love them.

Do you have a link for the parts of speech bulletin board?

I use the velcro command strips on my cinderblocks walls. Knock on wood... nothing has fallen in 2 years

Put pictures of your students doing things throughout the year on that long skinny bulletin board.

I'd use the skinny board for student work

Maybe put a motivational quote on that skinny board

I am not a teacher. But your classroom setups are interesting to me. It's amazing how much organizing it takes to keep your room nice. I can't believe how much supplies and equipment you have to have. You seem very sweet and I bet your students love you. Have a great day 😊❣️.

I love your class! Do you have your class hub sheets (Epic class code, etc on TPT?

For the small bulletin you could use the small half anchor charts instead of the full one
