I'm still on Cloud 9 that we met in person! But I never knew how much stamina was needed to teach Kindergarten until I got here. But now I having my footing underneath me I feel a lot better!

I know! A lot of people have been saying the same thing, I feel like Brookeshires are only in small towns now. But thank you so much! I made all the decor you see, so that makes me feel really happy that you like it!

Thank you! I know I love the yellow drawers so much because they help so much with organizing supplies.

It for sure was a challenge at the beginning but now I am truly loving it!

My niece will be a 2nd year kindergarten teacher this year and she loves the littles. ❤

Thank you so much!

I truly have been meaning to get one, I just always keep forgetting to put it in my amazon cart.

At our district they recommend stapling items to walls since it is less destructive to the wall. They can easily cover up a small staple hole compared to a nail hole. Plus I've tried command hooks, and they normally take off chunks of paint. So personally, stapling is just the best option I have found.

Really amazing questions! These all go back to classroom management and truly going over the routines and expectations within and out of the classroom. I practice how my students should line up and walk through the hallway, and any time that they don't show me the correct behavior we do go over the expectations and practice. I normally don't put students next to me at the teacher table, because it does end up embarrassing them and then they don't trust you afterwards. I just walk throughout the room for the majority of the day to make sure the students know that I can hear and see everything that is going on.

That make sense . Why don’t you hold their hand or have them hold your hand if they are running or misbehaving in the hallway? Also what do you do to manage misbehavior on school field trips? Please answer?

Thank you so much!

I asked my admin about taking things down for paint and/or touch ups. And they said we typically take down everything every 5 years so they can come in and paint. After that if we need a wall to be touched up, you take those items down and put in a maintenance request.

I've seen a couple of teachers at my campus do that last year, and I think it is a really great idea.

Thank you!! I am very happy that we change the theme each year we've done super heroes, space, jungle and now Disney! But Michael's didn't have anything when I filmed, I did find a couple of things after but didn't end up getting anything.

The entire time I was cutting these items, I was saying "I should have remembered to bring it home." I for sure agree that a paper cut would have been my best friend while cutting everything out, I just forgot it when I was moving everything and the end of the year.

Girl fix your comment, I don’t understand why you had to comment about my posture.

Thank you! And I know you can laminate a lot in one setting because other teachers have told me about it. But I just have this completely irrational fear about it.. I know it's silly!

Yay! We get to teach Kindergarten at the same time!

Thank you! I felt like I got to channel my inner Barbie with buying the pink coffee mug!

We totally got this! I feel like since we taught the older grade levels we can deal with a lot. But I know Kindergarten is a whole other ballgame. But I will of course keep you updated on any new tips or things that I am doing in the classroom.

@@HeartofaTeacher2 exactly! Ive also taught PreK but that was not for me. So hopefully it goes well!

Thank you so much! And I completely agree about going home and relaxing, the only reason why I was up there was because I didn't finish my check off list before the school ended. So I went back to get everything done, and I thought I could utilize the time and plan out what I wanted.

Thank you! Later this summer I am sitting down and looking at our TEKs to get a better understanding.

I know! I really am trying to enjoy my summer, but I am also very excited for this new journey as well!
