CLASSROOM SETUP 2024 | pt. 1 cleaning, bulletin boards, very productive 

I’m not even a teacher and these are my favorite videos

2 rooms in 24 years of teaching here in Belgium. Same school. My actual classroom is bigger and brighter than my first one.

I’m retired after 31 years. I taught in 3 schools, including on Guam. I taught in 6 different classrooms. Why do I watch teacher RU-vid’s? I loved my career and I can kinda experience the teacher life through the teachers I follow. Love your channel… have a wonderful summer and a great school year! ❤🙏

Thank you for mentioning that specialists need some supplies too! 😃I am an elementary music teacher and my classroom teachers are awesome about sharing and I am so grateful! Good luck with the rest of setup!

I worked in two school districts in the IT department and loved my time with the staff and students. Love how you are organizing your classroom. Teachers are heroes in my book and need pay raises.

I'm a Swedish🇸🇪 elementary teacher. I'll be at a new school teaching first grade this year. So excited and can't wait to get started. It will be my 5th classroom (been teaching 6 years). Happy summer 🌞

I had 6 classrooms in 12 years when I was teaching. As an administrator, I worked in 3 different schools and moved offices 5 times. I’ve been tutoring (Orton-Gillingham) since 2020. I’m retiring, and will volunteer in my daughter’s class next year. I have sooo many things to figure out how to share, and some things I want to keep just in case, or as reference (books). I love watching your videos! ❤ Once a teacher, always a teacher!

I’m heading into my second year of teaching and my second classroom. I’m jealous of all the storage you have in your room. I do get a closet this year with two cabinets, but that’s about it.

I’m finishing packing up my classroom after my 10th year of teaching, which ended this past Wednesday (we have a holiday on Monday, so no clean up, and then one more workday on Tuesday and must be finished by 4pm). I’ve been in three grades and four classrooms (including an “interesting” year and a half out in the trailers with 8-year-olds- 💯 do not recommend third grade in trailers!). I’m helping one of my best teacher friends move classrooms also, but thankfully we’ll still be together in fourth grade (she’s taught for I think 14 years and, if I remember correctly, her next classroom will be her 7th classroom).

I love how you and your teammate have that shared office space in between your rooms. Our rooms at my school are pretty small, but something like this would be so fun!

This is my 7th year in a classroom. The first 2 years I was a special education assistant, then I taught 6th grade social studies for one year, then Pre-K which is where I'm at now. I have had a new classroom, not even kidding, EVERY SINGLE YEAR. The past 3 years, however, are because we moved buildings, then had to move again, and now we are moving back in our original building. But I am TIRED.

I’m gonna be an 8th grader this year I’m excited

16 years, 4 schools, 3 districts, 10 classrooms, and going to a new classroom next year! Moving is a pain, but I do love the excitement of setting up a new room and the feeling of new beginnings, so it's not all bad. Going back to the classroom (2nd grade) after 9 years teaching ESL, and it'll be nice to be back in a room I can call my own again. :)

I just finished my 9th year teaching and I’ve had 6 classrooms. Our school actually caught on fire, so we’ve been moving buildings A TON and we’ve finally settled into our newly remodeled school last year! So nice to stay in the same school/room for once!

I’ve been teaching for 18 years!! Crazy to say that. I’ve been in the same room for the last 11, 12 counting this upcoming year. My first 5 years were all different rooms.

I love your channel! I’m considering becoming an elementary school teacher. I am a little scared though because I do have a physical disability and a service dog. I also live in Florida.

Yay to day 1 of classroom set up. Happy, Happy!!! See you on the next vlog. Thank you Katie, enjoy your rests in between. Blessings Susie 🙏🇬🇧👍

This year will be my 6th room in 26 years of teaching. I’m also very excited as I’m also changing grade levels…1st grade to 4th grade. Math only too btw. Different but ready for a change!

I'll also be going into my 7th year. I've taught in 3 different schools. I've moved rooms 5 different times. Lol.

2 rooms! I’ve had the same classroom for the past 2 years but my position got cut so I had to find a new job. I haven’t seen my new room yet, but I’ll be teaching kindergarten (after 2 years of first) so I’m really looking forward to setting it up!!

6 classrooms in 9 years… probably adding a 7th classroom to the list this year! It sounds crazy and exhausting, but I don’t mind and I love setting up my new space and seeing my kiddos’ faces on the first day!

My first two years of teaching, I was working in a year round school that was on a track system. Every 9 weeks we had to move out of our room and pack our things in 2 rolling cabinets so the teacher coming off break could move in. So in two years I set up 8 times. But I am now in my 29th year of teaching and I’ve moved rooms 22, going on 23 times. 😅 I am kinda good at it now.

I have had 6 classrooms and 2 schools. 😊

I'm going into year 7, 2 classrooms however this upcoming school year, our whole school is being housed at a different school because our building is being renovated. We only have 2 grades so it's not a lot of us moving but it's a lot of things that had to be moved

My friend and next door teacher just retired. She was in the same grade (kindergarten) and the same room for 26 years.

I'm going into my 5th year and I will be going to my 2nd school, 4th room.

I've moved classrooms once, after one year when I renovated everything including painting the walls and stuff, for my own money. Now that I've done the same with a second classroom, they wanted to move me out twice already, each time after one year. I said they would rip that room out of my cold dead hands. I'm not moving. I've successfully defended it so far 😅

I taught pre-K for 13 years and only had 2 classrooms; I have taught in the public school system for 6 years and will have had 4 classrooms!

Wow already setting up your room?! My school just finished up.

As a current teacher, I can say with 100% certainty, that no love classroom setup time!

Classroom 1: middle school science Classroom 2: shared with the reading coach-small group para Classroom 3: 4th grade science & social studies Classroom 4: 4th grade math & science Classroom 5 (technically it's Classroom #3. I had to move back to be able to reach my new co teacher 😅): elar and social studies The only one not at the same school is the middle school classroom. I'm sending prayers to the good Lord that I haven't switched classrooms or anything because I'm tired of moving 😂

This year will be year 9, I’ve worked in 3 schools and 5 classrooms 🥲

i haven’t watched the whole video yet so i’m not sure if you mention it but why do you only teach language arts now? do your kids switch classes through the day kinda like middle school? if so, i’ve never heard of anything like that for younger elementary students before! kinda cool lol

6 different rooms and two different schools. Starting year 18 this August! 😊

20 years at current District. 10 classrooms (maybe more, losing count). Two previous districts, 3 classrooms.

Great video! You seem like an awesome teacher and I hope you don't mind me saying that I think you're totally gorgeous; too cute for words. 😍

I’m on my 5th classroom.

In 13 years of teaching, I have had to move rooms 7 times. One year I had to move twice!

❤

7th year, one classroom.

I Been Change 2 Times

I've had six different classrooms...kinder classroom was my fave as it was huge and had a bathroom but then I went to first grade and liked that age group much better :) My sister-in-law just retired and she had the SAME 4th grade classroom for 20 YEARS! That is very rare these days.

6 years, 6 classrooms in the same school! They love moving us around. I’m moving again this year too, so 7th year of moving. Looking forward to seeing your new classroom.

I love that you’re already making set up videos. At the end of the year, my mind goes straight to what I’ll be doing next year. I work at a private Catholic school with one class per grade so I’m super lucky to never have to move classrooms unless I change grades which is always a conversation with admin beforehand. This will be my fourth year in the same room. The downside is that I’m not forced to go through all of my things every summer so my closets need a good declutter.

7, all at the same school in 26 years. You are adorable! I also love setting up my room and I am glad I am not the only one!

It's odd watching set up videos when I still have 5 weeks of teachng left before the UK Summer Holidays! lol! Still, lots of ideas for me to ponder for my new room! I've been at my current school for 12 years, moved age groups 6 times and rooms 9!

Thank you as a support or special teacher it is gold to even get tissue.

Why are you going back so early? Are you teaching summer school?? Or is this the time the school year starts back?

I’ve only been in 3 different classrooms during the 22 years I’ve been at my school. I’m surprised you can already start setting up your room though. In my district we can’t get back into our classroom until the custodians do their deep clean of every room, even paint certain classrooms. We have to pack everything up before we leave for summer and don’t get back in until usually two weeks before we have to officially return.

I’ve been in the same room my entire time. I’m entering my 8th year. I love how excited you get during set ups! It makes me happy to see that other veteran teachers get excited like me!

Ugh don't you get a break? Or are you voluntarily going in?! 😂

I am in my 31st year of teaching. I have been in 3 different schools and 10 different classrooms. This year is a room change for me and I am sort of excited for a fresh start! I’m always looking for new ideas. I have about 4 years before I retire.

I'm retired now after 28 years, 3 rooms 2 schools.

When I taught, I only moved 2 classrooms. I taught 1st grade my first year. Then, I switched to 5th grade in my 2nd year. I never switched grades or classrooms after that. I taught 10 years and quit in 2021.

I am going into my 4th year of teaching and I am moving into my 3rd classroom! So I’ve only been in the same classroom for 2 years😂 I am impressed that you are already setting up your room!

As a special area teacher, thanks for thinking about us because we really do not get much of anything.

Last year I was a specials teacher and if your specials teachers are anything like I was, anything is appreciated!! One teacher gave me her surplus of "cheap" crayons and that was gold for me! Lol. This year I will be a SPED Autism Teacher (my dream job!!) and I am looking forward to getting into my classroom for setup!

I am in my 4th year of teaching and will be moving into my 4th classroom! Hoping this is my last move! 🤞

I taught for 7 years, in 6 different classrooms. I took an 11 year hiatus from the classroom and will now be going back in for next school. I'm anxious as much has changed over the past 11 years.

Crazy you are setting up your classroom already. In New Jersey we still have 4 days of last school year left! I literally took a bunch of stuff out of my classroom yesterday.

I just finished year 7 and I have taught in 8 classrooms at 2 different schools. (I had 3 classrooms in one year because of COVID procedures where students stayed put and teachers had to rotate.) I'm going to a new school next year and will have my 9th grade classroom. Hopefully, I'll be settled there for a while.

I definitely feel like the outsider here but next year is my 10th year teaching and I’m in the same classroom I started teaching in! In those years I have taught K, a K/1 combo, 1st grade and back to K but never had to move classrooms. I still definitely put in hours of work each summer reorganizing cupboards but I have had my classroom set up in pretty much the same layout for the last 5 years. Excited to see all your classroom set up videos!

I’ll be starting year 40 in August at the same school and I’ve had 2 classrooms.

This upcoming year will be my 8th year. I have taught in 2 classrooms. I went from my original classroom to a different classroom in another hallway then back to my original classroom. 3 years in Kindergarten and this will be my 5th year in 1st.

Yay! So excited to watch your classroom set up this summer 🤗🎉

School 1--2 classrooms in 2 years School 2--5 rooms in 6 years (one move was mid-year & one room I moved back in) School 3--6 rooms in 7 years School 4--same room for going on 7 years. This will be my 22nd year teaching.

I’ve taught in 10 classrooms over my 32 years of teaching. I’m currently moving into a new classroom to accommodate some new building configuration. But I can’t get in there yet because it’s getting new carpeting, the old one was horrible! Hoping to get in soon because I teach summer jump in three weeks. 😩

6 schools 9 classrooms in 15 years of teaching All my choice to move or switch grades. Most moves were due to moving out of area.

I’ve taught for 27 years, two schools, 9 classrooms.

I am starting my 15th year teaching and I will be going into my 6th classroom.... that will be my 5th classroom move in my current school! 😂

I am starting my 34th year of teaching. I have been at two schools and have been in over 20 classrooms - I am not exactly sure😂!

i HAVE BEEN IN 6 CLASSROOMS! i CANT BELIEVE IT! bUT, GRADE LEVELS? JUST 3 GRADES! THE ADJUSTMENTS HAVE B EEN HARD, BUT WE MANAGE.

9 rooms in 17 yr. I have taught in 2 schools and 4 different grades, kinder, 1st, 2nd, & 5th.

Going into my 5th classroom in 11 years! For the first 4 years I changed classrooms every year 🤦‍♀️

Heading into my 5th year. 2nd classroom, portable for 6th, classroom in the building for 4th. No moving this year, 1.5 days of school left!

I literally just got out this week. Why am I already watching these? lol

Second year officially teaching special education same school district this year second classroom and I’m sharing class room

4 rooms in 7 years. Well starting 7th year at a new school so 5 rooms! ESE Self Contained in Florida!

I will be in my 7th classroom in 11 years. Over 4 schools. All being 6 to 8th. This year 3rd grade.

I have worked in 13 different classrooms and that may sound like a lot but my school has around 82 classrooms

I’ve taught for 10 years and been in 3 different districts and 6 different classrooms!

As the librarian I didn’t move physical space unless I changed schools. Now rearranging the library to new floor plan or renovations, that I have done multiple times. Only moved one library to a new location (unfortunately, we were doing major home renovations the same summer). I would say at least 10 times.

5 classrooms in 13 years. Same grade level though, kindergarten.

Tenth Year Teaching come August 2 Classrooms multiple schools.

6 years of teaching and I've been in 4 classrooms 😭 And I'm in the middle of moving back to the United States so I'll be in another classroom this upcoming year.

So here in Oklahoma Elementary teachers teach every subject in their classroom!

I just finished my 19th year, I've had 7 different rooms! 🙂

Hi! I love watching your videos! Quick question, how long is your summer break? I teach in Washington St. We just got out for summer break yesterday, and the kids don't come back until August 27...Only asking because it's June, and you're already getting set up for school!

going into 3 and 1/2 years of teaching and I am going to be in my 4th classroom hahah!

Going into my 9th year, I’ve been in 6 classrooms! It’s exhausting! Never been in a room more than two years in a row.

Just finished year 21 and 15 rooms in 9 schools and 1 year at home! I had 9 classrooms in my second school even though i was only there for 7 years😂

Since I'm at this school, I taugh in 5 different classrooms !

Hi! This is just a random question but with your rainbow, colorful theme, do you think it gets the students distracted? :o As in, I’ve read here and there that kids are growing up more easily distracted, ADHD, etc and that a lot of current child shows contribute to this like coco melon (I believe is a show mentioned) utilize colors and animations/objects to keep them “focused” in the sense that if they get bored of one color/animation/object, they just focus on another? Do you think you’ve observed such behavior (lack of focus etc) in your classrooms with the colors or objects/animations? I’m not sure if I’m expressing my question properly but I was just curious on how teachers decide their decors etc to help students stay focused 😅 I’ve grown up in colorful classrooms and never rly had an issue but with the newer generations reportedly having a lack of focus and being prone to being distracted, I was wondering how all the teachers may be tackling that possible issue!

This will be my third classroom in 4 years and my second school and state to teach in!!!

I have had 14 classrooms in 22 years:)

28 years( 4 classrooms: PE-Pre-K-4th grade-Pre-K)

I taught for 10 years at the same school in 3 different classrooms. I just finished my 10th year homeschooling.

Thank you for thinking of the specialist!

33 years (retired in 2020), 7 schools, 16 classrooms, all in Texas except for 4 years in the Republic of Panama.

Going into Year 10 and I’ve had 6 classrooms 🤯
