HYBRID Classroom Setup! - We're going back!!!! 

I bet your pleased to get back into the swing of things.

I’m so happy for you. I know you’ve been ready for in person learning since like ... all year.

I just found your channel. I'm virtual, but just loved this video so I kept watching. I love your voice-level signs, do you have them in a tpt store?

Will you please try to do a first week back?!?🙏🥺 Also will you be giving a name hint for baby boy?

Stay safe out there!! My whole school is going back 5 days starting in may but 8th grade goes first this week 5 days then 7th grade but I been going 5 days now!

Thank you for this! 75% of our staff is fighting going back, they approved TK, Kinder (me!) and special needs hybrid. I'm so happy to meet my kiddos but with half the staff so divided, I forgot to be excited😥 thank you! Your ideas are great and I adore your videos😍😍😍

Can’t believe you guys are just starting hybrid!!!!

The doorbell is definitely the best purchase I’ve made on Amazon; I love it!

I'm so happy for you! I was waiting for this.. OMG, I literally go back to hybrid tomorrow in Virginia and I can't wait!! Such a great video.

I hope you had a great first day back. :) I'm in Florida ..... We've been face to face since August. I have 20 second graders in my regular sized classroom. They are not even 3 feet apart. HOWEVER, they are 100% masked, except for lunch which is in the lunchroom and I don't have lunchroom duty. Even at recess and PE they wear masks (we just have too many kids). We do offer online, but the number is small -- maybe 30% of our school? In second grade we have 8 teachers and 7 have face to face kids. Even our online kids follow the same schedule so those kids are online with a teacher from 8:45 - 3:00. Good news is we haven't had much (if any) transmission in our school. We have had cases in school (caught covid outside of school) but it doesn't seem to be spreading in school.

We're going back hybrid April 5th. I'm going in this week to set up and tech virtually.

It is so interesting to see how the other side of the world teaches. We have been teaching only on line and only in class. SO My class since Sept, has had 22 students in desks in front of me. Parents who opted out, are in the "online" school. The hardest part I think has been stopping them from talking while eating.

I am sure you all are glad to be back! I have been "back" all year and its... a lot. I am currently teaching FULL in-person, hybrid, and online-only all at the SAME TIME (I teaching 7th and 8th grade esl middle school) Its hard! I appreciate your honesty ❤️ Teachers are inspirational troopers 🌟

OMG!!!! Had the BEST first day back today girlie-mama!!!! EPIC day for this third grade teacher for sure. Hope yours was just as such...

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼so happy for you, be prepared for the exhaustion! It’s so great to have the littles back! We go back full time today! 🥰 thank you for the video during the crazy time!

I am a special education teacher in the bay area! My students went back hybrid in December and school started back hybrid for all students last Thursday!

I live in AZ and I have actually been in school since September! I feel very lucky to have been in school for this long.

It really says something when all kids want to go back to class!!

Love the video!!

We are HERE for some classroom setup. Lucky lucky students!!!

So interesting how different it is versus the Netherlands! Here we make “bubbles” so, when 1 kid is positive on Covid, the whole class (22 kids) is going in quarantaine! So we have whole classes in the classroom, no distance between kids or teacher with kids! Lots of love, enjoy today!! 😘

I have been teaching in NY- grade 2, 5 days a week all day, all year with 6ft socially distant and masked kids I have 15 kids. We have ZERO online learning unless students signed up for 100% virtual. It's been GREAT. No student to student spread. It's possible and safe. I see 15 kids all day every day. It's great. No rug for gathering, no small groups. Kids are NOT giving to each other in school. All virus spread- which has been super minimal is due to the adults in the building or homes.

Thanks for all you do. Good luck next week. I appreciate the classroom setup/tour. You truly love teaching and I love all of your ideas. Enjoy your weekend.

We have the SAME schedule, but I'm in the bay area. Last week, our in person 2 hour and a half classes was taken up with procedures/routines. I feel like we will have it by the beginning/ middle of april BUT we have spring break, then we'll have to start from the beginning and we may have another schedule change.... I just...its really the end of the year! so weird lmao Things should be dialing back, but we're like going 100 mph right now. nice to see kids in person though!

How was your first day? I am coming back tomorrow with my 4th and 5th and on the 12th with my Middle school students. I am ecstatic, because we have 4 days per week with the students.

I’m 2 minutes into the video and am saying to myself how similar our scenario is apart from the fact that we are on a mini lockdown and am 100% virtual as from last Wednesday. However before that I had two shifts, A and B and 3 fully online kids. We worked at school from 7.30 till 11.15 and then at home with the shift that stayed home.

i need a job like hehe im english teacher and i love ur video

I wish I could help you because I LOVE organizing! I LOVE office supplies ❤️ office supplies are the BEST 🤩

hi ! bumped into your video, I am a Filipino Teacher by the way . I like the class structure that was implemented in your county . I wish we can do that here too, unfortunately we can't due to high covid cases . I wish the Department of Education here will adapt hybrid classroom soon .. 😔

So crazy!!!! We started in CT on hybrid with half of our classes every other week until October and then we started in person... I have 22 kiddos in person 5 days a week since October with 5 feet of distance between desks. I’m so lucky to have a school district where we have an online learning school. When we had hybrid we went to school until 2:00 and had an hour for our online school. I hope you’re feeling okay with baby on the way!!!!

Omg, my sons school did the mask face drawing at the bugging of the school year in August. It’s such a cute project. My sons school here in Southern California went back March 30th. I wish our district did the same as you. Our hybrid is 4 days a week, 3 hours a day. Monday is virtual. There is an am and a pm for each class. There are 9 kids in my sons am class and 10 in the pm. 8:15-11:15 for am then an hour break then the pm kids go 12:15-3:15. There are just as many desks because they don’t want the kids sharing a desk so instead of spaces between the desks, there are desks lol (still plenty of space though between the desks) each kid has their own supplies in their own box. They will be bringing home everything at the end of the year, including their boxes because they don’t want any sharing at all. Back packs stay outside. Nothing comes in the classroom other than the kids. Recess is just snack, no playing. They sit at a table, 6 feet apart and when they are don’t with snack, they go back to class, wash their hands and get hand sanitizer. As with all, masks are mandatory. We have a daily health screening we have to fill out every morning before we take our kids to school. We can walk our kids to the gate but that’s it. We also can meet them at the gate after school. They stay in the same room the entire 3 hours except for snack. Kids in RSP or speech have their sessions at a table in the back of the room. 1 kid at a time. There is a plexiglass glass divider on that table so the kids and the teacher are separated. For speech, the kids wear the face shields. There is no virtual at all for the hybrid kids other than the Monday meeting and independent work. The kids whom are virtual have a different teacher. The ones who decided to stay virtual went to a different teacher once the hybrid went back (only reason my son went hybrid, seems kind of ridiculous to have the kids change teachers with only 7 weeks left of our school year (we get out May 21st) 4 of the kids in my sons class stayed virtual and now have a new teacher and 3 kids that were with the virtual teachers are now in my sons class....talk about confusing lol) we ent by another school (it was a private school) before my son went back and the kids were all playing together on the playground. I now feel bad for my son since they just sit. Glad you guys get to have fun. Hope your first week back was amazing :)

So glad you're going back! We have been back 5 days now since the beginning of March. Everything seems to be going well and the kids are adjusting! Happy learning!

Omg the guidelines in your county are CRAZY in the UK we have our whole class back (26) we are classed as a bubble and the main rules mean that each bubble stays apart BUT within your bubble you can pretty much be as normal (children are in rows and hand washing etc) we have quite low levels at the moment but at least we can be as normal as possible at the moment.

I went back to school in September as hybrid and then in November we switched to fully in person I’m from Louisiana

Hello from Maine. Somehow we made it all year without going virtual. We have been in person all year. We had a snow day, but we went virtual. So we have been trucking along. It's been quite a year.

if the kids have bubble wands, they can use them as a pointer instead of the lightsaber. no need to pass it around and constantly having to wipe it down.

Yay!!! So excited to see your first week hybrid!!!

our public schools went back in august full time in our district but my kids have and never will attend public school. my oldest 2 attend a boarding school as will all my kids starting in 7th grade but they have not gone back at all. at this point they say that they could but its not pratical with less than 2 months left of school to open the campus.

I teach 6th in WA. We went back hybrid in feb, so far so good! Good luck!

I work in the hayward district. What is your district doing about after school programs and childcare?

So excited for you and your kids. Have a great time. I pray it is as stress free as possible.

interesting in your state you can teach all the way to 6th grade in ours 6th grade teachers have to be for 4th through 8th only. i taught for 4 years before i started staying home with my kids and i taught ela and social studies to 4th graders. it was always interesting because my team teacher had been teaching for nearly 30 years and had been my 4th grade teacher when i had attended the same school. our school was tiny and had only 2 teachers per grade.

Yay for having your kiddos back! Praying it goes well 🥳

Dude I just clicked on this video, first time ever watching her and I already loveeeeeeee her energy!!!

Love her energy 💕💕💕

love that you guys finally get to go back!!!!!

Watching your video made my day better. Thank you.

So hard for you not to hug them when you see them!!

Your school's plan is basically the same thing as ours. Not many schools are doing it this way. But I'm so grateful I don't have to teach virtually at the same time as in-person.

Where did you get the treasure box? I been wanting one like that one

So excited for those vlogs. Welcome back to school!

She inspires me now I want to be a teacher now 😂

Thank you for vlogging for "your people"! We have been in person since September. Masks on all day. Breakfast and lunch in the classroom, but they go to their specials and PE. I think all teachers across the country will be relieved when this school year is over. It has been challenging no matter what your school's situation is. The light at the end of the tunnel is near! We can do this!

How do they play with bubbles with masks?

What grade do you teach I’m in the six grade

we are in san diego and we are going back on april 12th

In my city if you're pregnant you get an accommodation to work remotely for the school year. It has been a huge relief for me since I'm currently pregnant. You seem enthusiastic about going back so it doesn't seem like you would be interested, but since pregnancy is considered high risk for Covid, I wonder if your district would accommodate you being that there are no clear recommendations for pregnant women in regards to the vaccine?

Nice! Who did you say makes the stages in IG again? Did you say miss classy stage?

I wish we were doing this. I go back April 12th, only I will be "zooming" in the mornings still, and meeting with Group A/Group B from 12:45-2:45. I'd rather zoom in the afternoons...

I'm so happy for you! I have been teaching in-person at full capacity since September. I can't imagine having to be fully virtual. If it makes you feel better my school has had zero cases of student-to-student or teacher cases of infection.

I work in kindergarten in a private school in Brazil and we've been doing the boxes for school supplies + anything else they bring since they're are not allowed to share anything! It works so well in our class

we did that same face mask drawing in art class

Awesome! Stay safe.

Where did you get those teal book bins? I love the color!

I feel so bad for you! We have been blessed to be in class all year long (limited social distancing, masks only in the hallway).

So your going be teaching everything thing like 8 times in one day

Who is the leader of the school supplies? The ruler!

Who doesn’t love a good day of watching FRIENDS

The name tag thing Is similar to our but in high school we have to where our ID and that Is also your bathroom pass and also our lunch pass to get thing from the cafeteria

I love the "behind the mask" project! So smart!!

I got fired from the unemployment office, and still had to show up the next day.

What are your school's precautions this year for specials, lunch, and recess for hybrid?

Me trying to figure out what grade she teaches hear they get a snack and bubble it has to be elementary

Omg. Who gave this video a thumbs down?! Haterrrrrr 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Anyway... love your stuff girl! Stay safe.

Ahh! The desks are no longer triangles!!! That deserves a whole other comment!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’s crazy that you guys have been all on zoom.. My kids school has been back since like October.. I live in Ohio and there’s like no Covid cases(there never really was) I think we got to a max of 2,000 Covid cases in our county! I’m so happy for you though, I know how much you love your kiddos and teaching!

Congratulations on having a child are you expecting a boy or a girl my name is Lucas I’m not a teacher by any means but I just love teaching videos because you guys keep things very organized if you will

So your going be teaching everything like 8 times between A and B groups

Since kids are sharing desks, will they be sanitized every night?

We don’t have guidelines

My kids have been in school all year no hybrid. They go to 7-8 classes a day. School is even longer this year because of a hurricane and freezing. They go from 7:55 to 4pm... Since the end of January NOT one student in the school district has come down with Covid. There is 6 elem, 2 middle and 1 high school. Also I’ve seen them at PE and after school. If you didn’t know any different there isn’t anything different from pervious years. They haven’t social distanced at all... not that the school hasn’t tried. Not saying anything other than I hope normal will return soon.

Llll
