Classroom Setup DAY 3 - Teacher Vlog 

Girl. You did a lot in 5 hours!!! I always feel like I spend most of my time standing and staring. Teachers are funny because we all know the stand and stare!!!

I’m not even a teacher, in college yet, or planning on being a teacher... but yet I can’t stop watching these classroom setup video, they’re SO ADDICTING 😂😂

I love that you clean and set up the exact same way I do 😂😂 & I’m about to start my first year of teaching so it gives me more confidence that I have a “teachers”’ mind 😂❤️

Thanks for these. Just came across them today and I’ve watched all three. We don’t do so much set up in Scotland but I live your organisation. It makes me very happy. I managed to do some tidying and sorting before the end of term and I’m going in next week to start set up. Your classroom looks amazing and thanks to you so will mine. Going to subscribe now. 💕🎓📚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Love seeing you in your new classroom!!!

I soooooo need to ramp up my classroom library! Love all the books!

Your room is huge!

These are fun to watch lol

You are the best... thanks for sharing

You are Inspiring my like crazy!!! 😍😍

Hey! I love watching your videos. I’ll be starting my first year teaching grade 5 this year. Just wondering where you got your mailboxes and #READ marquee letters! Everywhere I look they are so pricey! Thanks girl 😊✨

👍🏻

When do you go back to school

Why do you have to buy your own stuff ? Shouldn’t school supplies be provided by the school?

What computer best fit the programs you used in college and for teaching? I am going into education, and I would like to invest in something reliable that will last me through the next few years. Thank you!

What grade do you teach

Heya! I’ve heard a couple teachers say that they spray painted plastic and it ended up bubbling and peeling. Have your spray painted plastics held up okay??

the classroom is really coming together! i love the colors!

Thank you for showing how you make your labels! That will be helpful when I start teaching next year!

You’ve done so much so far! And, yes, time flies when we set up our rooms. I love how your room is coming together! Wonderful job! Where is your mailbox from? Are the shelves corrugated or wood? Thank you!

This room is LARGER than the last one. So much more room for activities!

OMG FINALLY. I’ve been waiting for this. I love your videos and you’re so inspirational. I hope my classroom is like yours one day!

OMG! Thank you SO MUCH for the Powerpoint label idea! I’m labeling book bins, and this is just perfect! Your room looks AWESOME!!! 🙂

I'm having anxiety and excited at the same time watching this video. I will be teaching 4th grade at a new school this year. I'm going in tomorrow to see the classroom. Hopefully I can start moving in my stuff Wednesday. Then bring the rest Thursday and clean. My online order of bulletin board supplies should be here next Tuesday. Then I can start setting up. Preplanning week is August 6th, but for my sanity need to have most of the room done before then.

I’m so happy that your room are those colors because those two are my favorite colors!!!💚💙

Yessssss I have been waiting for this video!!! Is that just me?😂 I’m not sure why but when I watch your videos it brings me so much joy!!!😀

Your videos make me so excited to be a teacher! Only 3 years left of college until my journey begins!

love the classroom so far! You seem like the most awesome teacher :)

I love these videos! You have been such an inspiration for me as I have been deciding on my college major and future plans! Thank you so much for documenting all of these helpful tips, I am sure I will use them in the near future!!

I am in love with the color scheme and your new classroom! And by the way, my favorite color scheme is like a lime green and a normal blue! I started watching you since last week within your classroom set-up! I love the music you put in with the fast mode of every working clip, what is the name of the song?

I'm so jealous, I am a stay at home mum now, but I am heading back to school next year after 4 babies and I will be teaching at a high school in Australia, we don't have our own rooms :( , I spend will my day moving around. Your room is looking so pretty, the kids are going to be so inspired, well done. This video almost makes me wish I taught primary, so I could have my own room.

As someone who lives in the UK, I'm always shocked how much teachers and students have to buy for the classroom. As we have every thing funded by the school, the only thing I buy is pens/pencils for my eldest who is 14. All books, paper and pencils are provided by the primary schools (4yrs to 11yrs).

Hi there, it is a relief to see that I'm not the only one with so many books and resources. My question is... What are you using to cut up your letters? I am New Zealand and may need to get the equipment from Amazon. Thank you for your clips... It inspired me, to think deeper about the set up of my classroom.

I’m student teaching a third grade classroom and I love seeing how you organize your room. We are doing the Sharing the Planet unit right now. I may or may not have used some of your lessons over polygons from another video and it was a major hit. Thank you for your content! *edit: when I saw that video, I didn’t realize you also taught at an IB school!

Hi I’ve watched so many classroom vlogs and yours r by far the best ... your matching decor is killing it !! Xx

Love these vlogs! Room is looking great! Not sure if you know these but your laminate will last longer and have a tighter seal if you cut your items out first ( I also glue them down to the laminator paper as well) keep up the good work 😊

Hey I really love Ur vlog..... Im a new 3rd teacher.... If she doesn't need them I will really appreciate them

I miss the nice cozy classrooms from when I was younger. I’m a junior in high school this year and the classrooms are so boring. Nice classrooms make the world of difference.

hi I know I am commenting on your videos a year later but you inspire me because I want to become a teacher and I have a question..... what is a cricket???? what does it do

This so random but you look like Alexa PenaVega the girl from spy kids! 😗

I loveee your classroom so far but doesn’t the mailbox fit on the other side of the counter between the window and the shelf? It would bother me so much having it infringes of the window 💕

I don’t know where this is but if you happen to live in Arizona I’d gladly take the books!

You have a very nice classroom! You would have been the teacher I would have wanted to be assigned to.

I have been binging your videos! I am about to graduate next fall and I always love seeing organization techniques and classroom decorates! You videos are so inspiring!

Your room is really gorgeous and well thought out. I just don't understand how anyone can afford to teach these days.

Instead of black paper on the letters you could put black marker on the edges of the letter

How do you do the levels for you reading boxes? How do you add the color?

teachers get 15% off in target while the workers get only 10%🙃

May i ask what do you use for lesson planning and record keeping?

This just gave me a new appreciation for my teachers xx

We had mailboxes in our room. Spreading them into two sections across the room or a little farther away from each other is something we did because a lot of kids would get trampled when we went to our mailboxes. It was mainly the boys who ran to them and then the stampede would come and they would regret it. In the fourth grade we split them up by having two mailboxes, 1-14 and 15-32. It helped to slow us down and keep the injuries to a minimum.

Can you please recommend some second grade math worksheets?

Did the words stay laminated when you cut them with the Cricut?

I love these videos and your channel! Last Year was my first year also and I’m also moving classrooms! Watching these videos gets me motivated to set up my classroom!!😊

Do you guys still teach cursive?

you color scheme is stunning. definitely inspiring me to do something much more simple in the future!!

I'm a first year high school teacher and I am in LOVE with the wood paper covering your wall. BUT I have a quick question. Do you think putting charts over the wood would be too "busy"? I'm thinking about doing the same thing, but am unsure!

I love these videos! Keep up the good work in your classroom!! 😃

Notification squad! Also what planner do you use?

Put the books in a big tub then put it somewhere

How does that paper wall pass fire code? Lol my district won’t let me, it’s such a bummer because i have an ugly hospital blue wall

Your room is looking super cute!

Are you required to supply everything for your classroom? Does the school reimburse you for the things you buy?

Hi! Which circuit is that? Thanks!

I love your classroom so far!! I am a first year teacher and I was wondering if you have classroom jobs for all of your students each week or do students rotate their jobs?

I appreciate your videos and IG posts ❤ the color scheme, it matches what I have planned for my first class. What camera are you using because it's got great quality!

What grade are you teaching?

New sub! I’m homeschooling my daughter and making her “school” area more organized and this has really inspired me!

I love PowerPoint for making...everything! I'm really enjoying watching your organise your classroom. I feel like the things you're doing to personalise your space are actually do-able! Usually I feel overwhelmed and incapable!!!

How big our your letters for your quote Play Nice Be Kind Work Hard?

Does you lamination not separate from the paper after you cut it? I have had that problem with the school laminator so before so I assumed it would happen with a personal one as well

your students will be so happy to have a teacher who takes the time to make their classroom warm and inviting! They are lucky to have you! It's really coming together and looking great!

Her theam is blue and green

I have been waiting for this video!!

As a teacher from the Netherlands i am baffled by how many books US teachers have in their classrooms! We have books per subject (like math, Dutch language, Spelling etc) for each child with workbooks and usually at least 1 book per child for free reading (so stories). Also we generally have way smaller classrooms and try to keep the decor to a minimum as to provide a calm learning environment. I guess the educational systems are very different anyway! Good job on all the hard work. Greetings from the Netherlands!

Love the Work hard, Play Nice, Be Kind quote..I am definitely about to make that. Also, I wish I had watched this before I made my Guided Reading labels...your way was so much easier!!

Thank you so much for sharing the info about how you create labels on PowerPoint. I never thought I could do it that easily and have them look so good! LIFE CHANGING!!!❤️

Could you indicate the UPC codes for the book bins? I was hoping to order them online if they were not at my local Dollar Tree. On another note, Target has a 15% off for teachers?

Eta you have a great 👍

How long do you get to work in your class and when is the first day you’re able to go to your room?

I love these videos !! I enjoy watching you do this & am so excited to see the final result 💕💕💕

Love your colors!

Love following your classroom set up journey! Thanks for sharing your progress with us! As a first year teacher this year, I've definitely got some inspiration from what you're doing! :)

I just found your channel last week and it was kinda ridiculous how excited I was when I got the notification that you posted a new setup video. LOVE your channel and your videos (and your classroom so far) so glad I found you!

I wonder why u wanted to become a teacher like thats cool I want to be a doctor tho when I get older love u💜💙😘😍 Awww Thanks For the Heart U Are so Sweet

11: 41 note to self

I just can't get over how big your classroom is! I'm a newly qualified teacher in the UK and I've been in school this week to start mentally planning my classroom set up and I'm so jealous of how much space you have to play with!

Why are you gluing your letters to black paper and cutting out? Just double the letters on the Cricut and make one black and an eighth or quarter inch thick. Then you’re cutting your letters from your machine. Beautiful room...thanks for the inspiration.

Binging your videos haha

You and I set up a classroom similarly.... Things everywhere. I feel at home watching your videos. :)

Finally catching up on videos... how do you carry your cricut around? I just got one & am trying to avoid buying the cricut tote on the site..

I just discovered your vlog! I really am enjoying it! Even though I have been teaching for over 20 years you have given me lots of organizational ideas! I switched grades last year and this year I am changing classrooms. It is giving me a chance to get rid of old stuff and try new things. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!

Using the T hand sing in ASL and rotating your hand is the sign we used for Toilet when I was younger. Instead of raising our hands and interrupting the teacher we would just make the sign when she looked at us and then we could go to the restroom. It worked fairly well for us, but it's different for each class.

Shout out to us second year teachers! I've been working tirelessly in my classroom as well. Yours is coming along fantastic! I absolutely love the color scheme. Blue and green were my wedding colors lol.

❤️

I would be proud to have you teach my children or grandchildren. I am an elementary school librarian. Working in the school is a challenge but so worth it.

Your room is beautiful. Unfortunately where I live we cannot have that much paper on our walls due to fire hazards. We are only allowed to have stuff on bulletin boards and a few other things on the wall.

I would love you for those books. Struggle is real as a first/second grade English teacher in Germany

Socks?

Thanks for all the great tips! I need to get organized for my first year. I will definitely use some of your ideas for organizing. Thank you!
