Classroom Setup Day 1 | Middle School ELA & Science 

I wish I had a cricut!! 😭😭

Hope you have a great year! ❤️

I switched to middle from elementary!! The best thing I ever did for myself ❤

Awh thank you so much! ❤️

Middle is the best!! ❤

Omg I would cry

Thanks for following along! I hope you have a great summer and school year!

Glad it was helpful! Keep pushing, it’s challenging but so worth it if you find the right fit for you. And basically anything below a 60 is failing (F). They can get below 50 on their classwork throughout the quarter but their final grade can’t be lower than a 50. In that case, which isn’t often, we would just put a note that the students actual average was below a 50! Either way they get an F 🤷‍♀️ it is kinda weird!

@@jess_8ch Thank you, I will. Teaching and coming up with lessons is my passion. Though your grading system seems to be a little different to here in Germany. Generally, to pass one needs to get over the 40-45% bench mark (for languages). Though, the grades is given in numerical numbers from 1-6 (in some states it is more differentiated to 1.3, 1.5 etc too). It is also not the best and criticized every now and then.

I would have never noticed!! Thank you 😂❤️

You’re welcome!!!

Yeah, unfortunately we don’t get much say!! Would love to see how that goes and wouldn’t mind trying something new!

That’s a good idea!! I feel so bad bc I lost track a little bit last year. They still always got a little candy on their birthday but I didn’t always remember to put on calendar!!

Be yourself! Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Take advantage of extra opportunities to get support (working lunches, clubs, study halls). Stay true to who you are and you will make true friends! You got this ❤️

I will be!!

Yes….proud of their work, or work that they are proud of. If they interpret it otherwise, I don’t care, as long as they feel seen, heard and loved in my room.

Everyone has their personal preference. I decorate my room to feel cozy and welcoming for students and myself. It’s my home away from home the majority of my days so why not make it something I love being in. Also- I used the same decor last year and my students constantly commented on how calm they felt and how it was a “vibe”. They constantly used the reference tools I had on the wall bc it was a way for them to use their resources and practice independence. Also, the vast majority of my students test scores were beyond improved by the end of the year. I think we can all have our own opinion and decorate how we want without making others feel bad for how they run their classroom. I enjoy decorating my room and it’s something I’ll keep on my plate!!

@@jess_8ch Please don't infer I was being critical. I was just offering another perspective from years of experience. Of course, every teacher has their own style and is free to pursue their own path in their style of teaching. Through the years, you become wise in your own experience and hone your skills within your philosophy of teaching. I wish you a good school year.
