Chelle, Will you be teaching science? If so, check your curriculum and see if you will be needing a balance scale with buckets, classroom sets of safety goggles, pippettes, magnet wands, and magnifying glasses. Also are there things you will need for math like 10 frame sets? Usually there is so much focus on learning to read/ELA that other things are forgotten that are basics. Science is very hard to teach without the equipment needed. Thanks for checking.
@rosebrown7002Ай бұрын
not Chelle, obviously lol but I teach the same class as her and I use all those things. Not just science but math and art use some of them too like the pipette. And btw tysm for being an absolute blessing to another teacher who needs it

I like the u-shape arrangement, it's a good start and takes up less room. Your other areas are looking pretty good. You did get some good advice about blind spots. Don't worry about fancy decor and pretty stuff, just keep it attractive and kid friendly. Then you can add as you go. It does sound like your school is a great place for a new teacher and support is important for everyone. I taught for 46 years and needed support throughout my career although the kind of support changed. Looking forward to following your progress. Oh dear way too wordy.

Hi. I just found your channel. Congratulations on your first year. Here’s a tip with setting up your classroom. There should be no blind spots. You should be able to see your students from every angle. Watching your setup I noticed you have 2. Your teacher small group table and the library. The tall cabinet is blocking it from the small group table and the tall book shelf in the library. Switch the two bookshelves in the library so the tall one is against the wall and the short one as a divider. More the cabinet to the left and your table to the right. Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey.
