2023 First Grade Classroom Set Up Part 1

[@sydniaunderwood2000]

Omg id live for that storage. I have one closet and 3 cabinets and its barely enough

[@countrymama626]

It’s an older school so I was surprised to have that much storage. Hope you’re have a good summer!

[@RaeleenxMarie]

Those cabinets are awesome! Love your bulletin boards so far.

[@countrymama626]

Thanks so much! The room actually has more storage than I first thought.

Same here. I am used to having 21 students when I taught Kindergarten. This year I will be in First Grade instead and will only have 15 students with a max of 18 so that will be awesome! I will have a Shared TA as well (A Part-Time TA)

[@countrymama626]

It's crazy, right?! I just think of all we can accomplish with the lower class size. It will be an adjustment having a TA, though. I haven't had one in so long.

[@xNCFOREVERx]

@@countrymama626 usually I work by myself too. Do you get a fulltime TA or shared? I was thrilled when I found out I had less than 20 students for the max! The joy of teaching first grade instead of Kinder. Kinder can have up to 21 in my State, but the ratio is lower for first grade though

[@countrymama626]

Fulltime TA but I assume she'll go to an upper grade at some point during the day to help. And yes, I love first grade. I don't think I could do kinder

When I was in first grade which was quite a while ago around 1981 every teacher had 3 things chalkboard and chalk, lesson books,and a paddle

[@countrymama626]

Ah, the days...lol. In my first year (2008), I went into a room with quite a bit of stuff, and as teachers retired, I accumulated way too much! I feel more prepared this time around and know what I want and what I don’t. It's amazing how things have changed in education over the past 50 years.

[@KhrisCaplinger-ei8yk]

School in a way was rougher in my day but at least when we went to school in the morning we and our parents knew we would come home in the afternoon a parent these days sends their child to school in the morning and could be the last time they ever see them, it's so terrible what this world has become

Amazon wish list and extra supplies

[@countrymama626]

Yes, I’ve got one now. We’ll see how it goes, thanks!
