[@reaganrecovers4914]

I'm 12 I watch your videos, and I am SO motivated to become a teacher. So thank you for the inspiration!

[@____yzzy]

Fangirling I don't do calm I can tell you will go very far in life :)

[@emmaroberts534]

Reagan I’m 12 too and I kinda want to be a teacher but I love stationery and stuff. If school started later and homework didn’t exists and those dang over head light wouldn’t immediately make you tired I would love school sooooo much lol

[@lilsies07]

I'm 12 years old and I feel the same

[@laraleiparas7873]

Me too! But, I’m 13.

[@Atty304]

Technically homework exists; it's called grading.

[@whitneyadams9650]

Beginning of the year hacks would be a good one! Especially for those first year teachers out there!

[@robertclor3892]

I agree!!

[@eastcoasteducation674]

I've began buying storage, but I start teaching in 2018 and I'm wondering what other things I should invest in or what I should wait to buy. I'm thinking non-grade specific items, like what are teacher must haves that your school didn't supply you with?

[@sidneygelegan7983]

Whitney Adams ya I like that idea you really should do that

[@Maryandtheword]

I am one of those new teachers.

[@jadexx143]

i really appreciate how much you upload considering your hectic schedule, as an aspiring teacher myself i find your vids so insightful!

[@Btanggistanggy]

I've been binge watching for 3 days lol.

[@kateyb9362]

Me except for a week 😂

[@minanaman6939]

Yo

[@tabethacore5511]

I love any sort of plastic storage container. I have a long rectangular one that stores all of our art paintbrushes. I'm going out tomorrow to revisit our local dollar store for other storage ideas, and will be on the look-out for your awesome hacks!

[@bonniesavard8055]

I love how excited you get talking about binder clips! I thought I was the only one!

[@catlovett4395]

I use clothespins for attendance, class jobs, signing up for teacher conferences or peer share, and hanging anchor charts and learning targets.

[@suzii6690]

Cat Fletcher I do the same in my classroom! !

[@brittneybillingslea3128]

I hot glue my clothes pins to the wall and hang my anchor charts. They come off easily at the end of the year and don't ruin my wall.

[@carolinebaranczyk6832]

Brittney Billingslea is

[@atsushitanaka5059]

I don’t know if you can find your own place to you

[@Maryandtheword]

I watch this video many times. you are the best. thank you so much

[@Day-et3fm]

I'm going to a vocational school for teaching next year and I love watching your videos to help me better understand what teaching is like.

[@briannanicole3436]

I love that you have hectic days at school and then you upload your videos a lot I love you ❤️💕

[@rockingdanteachingman]

Great video, thanks for all your organizational tips.

[@teachmrshh6169]

It would be cool if you now go through and show this stuff in your classroom in detail!!Video idea!

[@melindalaverdure2131]

I'm about to start homeschooling my toddlers, 2 & 3. Your videos are really inspiring. I'm a very "organized chaos" person and always need help and ideas to organize so other people can find things if I'm not there.

[@emmac8937]

I would love to be a primary teacher when I'm older I'm only 11 teaching has been my dream job for like six years and you inspire me to want to teach even more thankyou

[@aylamacinnis5753]

well im 11 too and the same thing for me but I wanted to be a teacher for my whole life so hah

[@nevenkebla_8341]

Hi i have been wanting to be a teacher since yesterday! What subject would you do?!

[@KyleThain]

Thanks for the tips! It is important that everything in the classroom has its own place.

[@nikoleyvonne1133]

Would have been great to see the hacks in use for the visual.

[@paigemulroe6663]

Thank you so much for all of the great ideas! I absolutely love the idea of using a binder clip for bulletin board borders!!

[@groomsbybeth]

loved the idea of using a clip to hold my phone charger. never would have thought. I would love to see a video on stress management :) I love your videos so much!

[@annwoodruff6383]

Love the clothes pins to post student work. I've used this a LOT and agree...so easy to change out work, does not damage by putting staple holes in the work....

[@mariposa4902]

This video is well timed. Many of us are looking towards nest year and we can be on the look out for these things at stores this spring and summer. Michaels is selling those scrapbook containers for 3 for the price of one right now! Picked up three of them for about $3.50 today.

[@beautygirly624]

I love all these ideas and will definitely reference this when I have a classroom of my own. I have seen while observing by junior year of college that a primary school was using clothes pins for each student's lunch id numbers (especially in the K-2 grade band). Students get the clothes pin with their numbers before lunch and are able to reference them when in the lunch line. It reduces the time and helps them to memorize their numbers quicker.

[@dianar1449]

Excellent video!!! This will be my 4th year teaching 3rd grade and there are SOO many brand new great (and thrifty) ideas here! Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@petsloverchannel7427]

This is really helpful specially to our new teachers who are new in this field of mission. Thank you teacher for your brilliant sharing of ideas. I am also a teacher from Philippines.

[@zelmaa5736]

This was SO helpful. I was just looking this morning for shoe hangers. I need something for the kids extra supplies. I think I could pretty much get shares in binder clips - I use them all the time.Your hair looks gorgeous. :)

[@museumofmylearning5427]

Thank you! I am loving this hack series... You helped inspire me to make a youtube channel as a future teacher.

[@katliensyyberg9806]

I have that exact green caddy from dollar tree! It's a lifesaver!!!

[@1greatteach192]

You are so young but seem like you've been teaching for years! You have amazing ideas. I've been teaching for 18 years and I love to watch your videos for fresh, new ideas. Do you have a video on using your cricut for your classroom? I just purchased a cricut and don't know how to use it! Could you help?

[@melissareiger5545]

Your ideas are phenomenal!!!!!

[@virshonebrinkleysproles5411]

I love your new haircolor!

[@imatvbaby]

I love my field trip form drawer. Extra forms, returned forms, office tracker, a pencil and pen. I always know where this stuff is. Also good to put papers for conferences.

[@pm-r6136]

Very good ideas!! I love the scrapbook container idea the best!!

[@kristagudinas2213]

Michelle, I am fairly new to your channel. Your videos are gold and these classroom hacks are my favorites!! Do you have, or have plans to make a "Hacks for different types of learners", or hacks to engage challenging students?

[@Slimy_ASMR]

I am not a teacher but I do want to be one when I get older. These videos are great!

[@csnowipt287]

I love all of these ideas! Personally I would love to see more of the exact uses for the items. Rather than just telling about it, showing the exact examples would help! I know that is a lot more work on your part, but just a thought. Thanks for all your ideas! I've watched all your 10 Hacks videos today and I'm excited to try some of the ideas in my teaching next school year! Thanks!

[@samiah6836]

I littered have been binge watching you for the past 2 days

[@readthinkimagine127]

I love teacher hacks! Thanks for sharing all of your tips and ideas! :)

[@speakacademyespana]

Excellent content, as always 🥰 Thanks for helping us out with your great ideas 🙏 A big hug from Spain 🤗

[@crystalryan3337]

If you take out one the binder clips U shape part, by pinching then pulling out, you can use the end to remove jams from staplers.

[@teachgreen1]

I like your idea for supplying base ten. I ran into the same problem with the Dollar Store containers so I will use those supply caddy's the extra base ten they need for larger numbers. Otherwise, I don't think I will have enough space for just caddy's. Thank you for your ideas!

[@pamsteckman698]

Awesome job Michelle!! I use so many of them too.... command hooks are amazing!

[@christinebodie9068]

Love the shoe organizer idea

[@melissacarroll5184]

Your foils look great! Well worth the time. PS I take marking with me and do both things at once (once the colour is on and just needs to process). Love your videos.

[@tacoteacher8501]

The CD case is amazing!

[@PuttingFourthEffort]

you are my spirit animal 😂😂 omg! i absolutely love everything you do. i hope that i can be half the teacher you are!!

[@alio4916]

The cd holder is a great idea for storing die cut letters!

[@aidensaesthetics]

I am a teacher and I will take a lot of this into account for my classroom because I need more organization!

[@amyhall7089]

Excellent ideas!!!! Thank you!😊

[@ChristyHarwell]

Wow! I love the CD holder for letters! I am pretty sure that I have an old CD holder somewhere...

[@mariaterra7983]

a teacher educator from Brazil is following you!

[@NeverEnoughThyme]

You are amazing at organizing! Thank you for sharing your ideas. Best of luck with your job search in Montgomery County. They will be lucky to have you. Keep the great ideas coming. Francine

[@Socute4u]

Thank you for giving us so many ideas, next year I will be way more organized than ever! Can't wait for summer to look for deals, I'm so excited!

[@veronica33133]

loved all your ideas...loved the clothes pin on the cork strip...

[@maggiecheffer]

Veronica Bossong is bob and she is a good mom and she does not have paint 🎨

[@maggiecheffer]

Veronica Bossong she is a great mom and she does not have paint for my mom

[@elainejoy422]

As a visual learner, I'd love to see photo examples of your hacks in use IRL as you talk about them. Your content is really great, and visuals can enhance what you're sharing and engage more viewers. Thanks for sharing such great ideas! Please share some pic examples when you can! Many thanks!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Unfortunately when I film videos in the summer, I don't have access to my classroom which makes it difficult to show visual examples of the hacks. Thanks!

[@lydiahiott6164]

Wonderful information! Thanks!!

[@hank3epps121]

She’s giving information and ideas. What do you expect her to do???!!!

[@rosainig]

Thanks for this video...your hair looks great! 😊

[@addyedwards602]

I love there's hacks so much. Hopefully I can use these in my classroom someday

[@tonyaderemer4963]

I have used a shoe organizer for bulletin board letters. Same concept as your CD holder, all the A's in one pouch, etc.

[@SweetDesignzz]

This video was great, especially since I'm a new teacher. Thanks for the video.

[@kimboj100]

You can weave ribbon through the holes on the supply caddy

[@AG-mp3gw]

Love The New Highlights! 💕

[@karenfernandez6506]

Omg thanks for this tips! Brilliant ideas!

[@pmashlin19]

You can also use the shoe organizer for older kids for there phones

[@hank3epps121]

I wouldn’t trust my phone being in that, my luck another student would steal my phone.

[@dorisampofowah4298]

well done for your great ideas thanks again!! 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

[@zachkirzner4137]

what cameras do you use? your sit down one and your vlogging one.

[@nicolecbays]

What is the shelving unit you use to store the scrapbook cases?

[@reginaturner2284]

that unit is on sale at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michaels this week.

[@amandafowler1165]

Great hacks! Can't wait to use some of these ideas:)

[@kclark1242]

All this time I thought you were saying "rudidem reading" lolol. Idk what I was thinking! Great tips for organization, even outside the classroom!

[@sarahdiamond1999]

KClark I

[@lularoedevryboggess2866]

I used decorative duct tape and covered my daughters crayon box. She is 2 and everything goes to the mouth. So I can wipe the Crayola box clean now and its also very durable!

[@leslielopez8465]

Thank you for all ideas you are great

[@hannahsafferman7509]

The dollar tree near me currently has tiny drawers. Perfect for bandaids and paperclips

[@lunaeliza4332]

I know you say use the caddy solid but if you do have caddy that have holes in it you could just put paper around it so the holes are not visible so your kids can't poke through it and school supplies won't get out

[@bryonneschemer5173]

I really liked your organizational hacks. I am going into my first year of teaching and I have been having some trouble with the organizational part of my classroom. The ideas you have given will help me to better organize my classroom for me and my students. I did have one question: The shoe organizer is a great idea, but I was wondering if it could also be used for construction paper or would you recommend the drawers the you suggested in the video for the construction paper?

[@MuhammadKashifJamal-TCHRBSSK]

quite supportive with good ideas

[@aliquirk4297]

Hey Michelle :) I'm starting my first High school teaching job in a few weeks. Any tips for staying organised when you're not in one classroom all the time? Love your videos.. :) From Australia x

[@angelarutigliano1371]

Exactly I am entering my fifteenth year my third at current school as a support facilitator = traveling from class to class

[@miriamfernandezboraso132]

can u show how can u use all the products in action i mean in your class? thanks

[@callalilydaffodil]

Love the hair!!!

[@l.e.getsfit9489]

Also you could use shoe racks for cell phones just check in with your admin before. My cooperating teacher used them when I student taught but since then I haven't been allowed to because different schools have different policies so you have to remind student to put them away during class. Or at least I do when I teach but they can have them out for the last 5 minutes of class.

[@xparra2783]

Thanks so much for these hacks!

[@graciew.752]

I'm still wondering why my teachers weren't like you. D:

[@AutumnJFord]

Ninja turtles

[@TeacherTales]

What a bunch of great ideas =D Thanks!

[@vero7852]

The scrap-booking boxes can be found at Costco in a bundle for like $17

[@marystinson8583]

I printed out you reading toolbox freebie. My question is what do they use this on. I don’t want them writing in my books.

[@ericafoster8560]

Which Cricut Machine do you have? I am curious because I am looking into getting one.

[@kimberlymeredith6829]

One more year of high school and 5 years of university to go 😂

[@TheMledsma]

yassss on the binder clip

[@dmctgrlly]

Michaels currently has all of the scrapbook cases and photo cases for 50% off AND they have a 20% off your ENTIRE order (INCLUDING SALE ITEMS) today!! It is a fantastic deal!!

[@brookesvlogs9874]

I am 10 and I want to be a teacher and I would like to use these hacks and you really inspire me ❤️❤️💋🍓

[@loladominguez4064]

How do you get the labels on the sterilite containers to stick?

[@joshuacormier7155]

Where do you get the photo cases? Do you have a link?

[@pattersonteach]

You have some awesome ideas. I use plastic bins for a few things. I use them to keep crayons and color pencils in. I don't keep them in the box anymore. I just take them out of the box and students can get two or three at a time . I also use them to hold glue sticks and highlighters. I use laever baskets to collect work to e graded and to hold class sets of novels I check out from the media center.

[@WithLoveMia-gg8sm]

Love your ideas!! However, what happens if you realize some students might steal the binder clips because they're so fun ;) haha. You're my favorite teacher!!

[@simplylite]

Sadly, this is my problem!! I have no place to lock things up. My kids steal everything that isn't locked up or taken at the end of the day. Pencils, expo markers, paper clips.

[@neemarina92]

Mia Tome Same problem here ahah everything has to be locked

[@mus1ontel1genc1a]

simplylite It IS frustrating when theft happens! But when, as can often be done when dealing with other behavior issues, if you can "outlast" the misbehavior, you can prevail. This means you may have to allow the class to "suffer" a little discomfort that comes from a lack of supplies for a while and make believers out of them that you won't replace the items that are missing until the theft stops. When the thief/thieves see to consequence of their actions, it may tease out who is the culprit. If nothing else, the class can be reminded that there are children IN SCHOOLS in 3rd world countries who must share school supplies because there's not enough to go around.

[@mariluzreal7177]

great ideas thanks 😊

[@brooklynashton7976]

such a great video!

[@KafoopleLand]
