CLASSROOM SETUP DAY 1 - Brand New Room! 

WOW, a brand new classroom. You are so lucky you have so much storage. They sure move you around a lot in your district. Looping is amazing I did it twice from second to third grade. It is so nice the kids know your routines. It will make it much easier for you. Good Luck....Your classroom is looking amazing. I hope you have an outstanding school year!

Your new classroom is awesome! SO JEALOUS of all your storage!

Wow!! You got so much accomplished!! It's looking so great!

Your design team did a fabulous job of getting you so much useable storage!!

Omg I’ve been waiting Shelly!!❤❤

AHH, yay, so exciting!

I had one day to sit mines up.

Agree 100% red is the color of anger and I can't have it in my classroom!

You look gorgeous! Did you have your eyebrows done? They look awesome and fit your face so well. Sorry if TMI!

Are you doing anything classroom video

The colored bins being that same color is so aesthetically pleasing

Your classroom is beautiful, even before you started. I work in an old school that desperately needs to be painted and remodeled. The amount of storage you have is incredible.

I’m very much in awe of your storage. I have one tall cabinet, a bookshelf, two small tables and a teachers desk. I’m harnessing my Hermione magic to make it work. You are going to have a great year.

Beautiful queen i want to marry a history teacher woman so badly ❤❤❤❤💘💘💘💘💘💘😃😃😃😃😃✝️😊

I LOVE YOUR NEW SPACE! I'm so jelly of all that storage especially behind the white board hidden and away. That space hides all those lovely aqua bins/tubs. So organized and hidden. Btw, just a suggestion; why not keep the red chair and use cool graphic tshirts as covers. Even those blue short seats would be awesome to keep and use for fleixble seating around the room like by your library or a calming center. I totally love, LOVE YOUR NEW SPACE!!!! CONGRATS and have a wonderful year!!!

Hi! I love your new classroom. In a previous video you mentioned that you were thinking about revamping how you run your ELA centers…I’m super interested to hear your new ideas (when you have time to share 😊)

Classroom looks too hospital for me. Can’t wait to see your decorative touches

OMG! I am loving all of the storage space provided in your room. That room might be smaller than the Kinder room but it's still spacious. That is wild that you only have 3 days to get your room together, but I understand with all of the construction going on. The beautiful thing about our classrooms is that we can continue to adapt as we go through the school year. Congratulations to a new year, new room, same students, but a brand new grade and experience with them in 3rd grade!😊

finally, you have actual desks and not those awkward shaped tables from last year that you had a hard time setting up. is this your permanent classroom or do you have to move again?

I thought it was happening this year for a second there. I look forward to these all summer

I am so jealous of your storage

That was amazing progress for the first day! It must have helped some to have the use of the same type of cabinets in the temporary room at the end of the year. That way you knew what bins fit where and could just pop them in! I see orange red on the soft chairs, must be the lighting. Red makes me think Christmas, summer fruit, and for some reason, red wagons! 😆 I'm very interested to watch how looping works out as I've never known anyone doing it.

I ALWAYS move the furniture first. Then you’re just putting things away and decorating.

Your space looks amazing. But I’m so curious what will happen in 3-4 months when your on maternity leave? I live in Australia and I know our school years and schools operate differently. Will you have a sub and they will use the space as you have intended? Is it hard to trust someone else with a space you have poured so much love and money into? Congratulations on your baby and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes amazing ☺️

I’ve been waiting for these videos! Loved watching it!❤

Can you tell me what songs you put in classroom setup videos I want to know! Thanks

Who all saw the fire alarm flashing when she walked in the school

Loved watching this!! So sorry that you could only get 3 days to set up especially 5 months pregnant but i know you got this!

It probably seems small because of the color. Maybe use lots of light colored accents to balance it out? I'm so excited for you! I moved to a newly renovated classroom in March of last year so I never really got to set it up fully so I'm excited to decorate mine too!

It going back to school I don’t want to learn anything

I want all that storage and movable whiteboard

5 months??? You’re looking great mama!!!

Where do you get majority of your books?

Do you have any advice for a brand new teacher?

❤❤you look amazing pregnant ❤

Why was the fire alarm flashing?

I’m going into my senior year of HS and I want to be an elementary teacher so bad!! I’m scared of trying to be an education major because I’ve heard people say it’s hard. Do you have any tips? 😭 btw I love your videos! They keep me motivated

Where are your big green chairs?

Good Lord, 3 days to set up! The same week as the first day?! Hope you are hanging in there! I just found out I can’t get into my room early this year, but mine is relatively set because we don’t have to put away much for summer. I am stressing, so I can’t imagine how you were feeling. Thank you for sharing this with us!

The storage is amazing! Do you have a Smart Board or other sort of screen?

Great video, thank you. I am hoping to have your rushed classroom setup problem, soon! I am still waiting to see if I get to teach in my own classroom this year. 🙂

Okay so I’m a teacher. This is my first full year tho. I started in January, so mid way last school year. I shared a classroom with another teacher who already had the room set up and decorated. This year I’ll have my own room and I have no clue where to start so I’ve been looking up these sorta videos. My room is so tiny compared to yours tho, with zero storage lol I have the shelving bc the whiteboards; that’s amazing! I hope you have a great school year.

Do you know where the padded stools are from? I love them!

I love the storage behind the white board! That is genius! I’m actually trying to find a student mailing storage unit. I can’t find any online that isn’t made of cardboard. Do you have an area where you bought those storage clip bins of different sizes?

It’s crazy this is your 7th year. I’m pretty sure I started watching when you were almost done with your first year and I does not feel like I’ve been watching you that long!

I'm with you on one box at a time. I'm teaching K-5 STEM this year and had tons of boxes and bins to unpack and sort from when they had STEM before COVID. One box at a time is what got it all done.

love ur room soon we won't be seeing classroom stuff because your be on marteriney leave so sad but so happy for u!

Where can I find links for your teal bins with student numbers? Also, do you have a video for the bins in your cabinets?

I'm looping too! My whole school loops. They get annoying by march but it's still fun

How many students are you planning on having sit at the kidney table for small group instruction? If you have an extra desk you can have that desk near yours so in case a student needs more time and attention from you, they can be right next to you and also have a chair right next to you at the kidney table.

good afternoon

The desks are rectangles not triangles!!!! Yippeeeee! ❤😂

I had a nearly identical drawer unit to yours and I used it for stem bins and math manipulatives! So much easier for kids to dump them into a drawer than have boxes or bins with lids. I did have to teach them how to slide the drawers back in but they got it quickly!

Is this the old classroom you had before the move but with renovations?

Your classroom is huge! I teach from a portable (my choice as I’m in an open concept school and wanted a quiet space) which is small with minimal storage, so this looks amazing.

Is there a way you keep track of your picture books so you know what you have?

Love your videos, especially classroom setup!! Can't wait for the next one!

You are a champ moving all the furniture at 5 Months pregnant.

Hooked on these classroom set ups!

Congratulations againnn Shelly!!!!

I hoped that your first day went well. Your classroom is awesome.

I am SO jealous of that storage!!!!

I’m loving the room ❤❤❤❤

IM SO EXCITED!!!!!

As a teacher if someone wants to contribute to a classroom at the beginning and throughout the school year, what would be needed and appreciated the most?

Hi, I really love watching your videos, very helpful! May I know which district you work for in northern California?

Can you have covers for those bean bags so you don’t need to get rid of them?

I always wondered where backpacks go at your school…

Lots of progress!

Shelly what camera are you using...it looks so clear

Where do the kids put their book bags lunchboxes etc

What a great space! So jealous of all your storage. Especially the storage behind your whiteboards! All schools should be doing that! Genius! Haven’t seen that much in NY. Where are your students going to put coats and backpacks?

Yes

Where did you get your containers for all of your organization?

Did you have any help?

I literally loveeeee these videos so much! I was so exicted when this notification popped up on my screen.🤍🤍
