9 Things to Prep for the School Year over Summer | First Year Teacher Advice

[@chessc.3407]

And yes to plan for the first 2-3 weeks at least so you’re not getting to know the kids while also worrying about what you’re doing

[@seritapaigefalgout7680]

This video was extremely helpful. I am a first year 4th grade teacher (alt-certification) and it feels like there is so much to do and to plan, its hard to know where to start. Your video broke it down in sections that I feel like I can just focus on one category a week and be ahead of the game by the time school begins. Thank you!

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I'm so glad it was helpful! It's definitely overwhelming but you got this! 🥰🤍

[@emmamunday8563]

I am in my 4th year of teaching and I found this really helpful. Thank you

[@Haitheregorgeous]

So helpful !! Bachelors of psychology and going into my first year as a fifth grade math teacher. I’ll be teaching with a special permit and working towards my teachers certification starting in January. I’m soooo nervous 😬

[@culturalexpressionsdancers]

All the best! If you need any tips, please feel free to ask! 🌹 5th grade is a great age to teach! Very important year in a kids life

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and have the best year ever!! 🥰

I've done so many things to prep for my first-year in fourth grade starting this August but I got so many new ideas from this video within just the first couple of minutes! I was immediately browsing TPT and adding things to my resources folders.

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I’m so glad it was helpful! Have a great first year of teaching! 🤍

[@teacherrockstar]

Great video! Teaching can in fact be so overwhelming and prior planning is essential. Keep up the great work!

[@Sssilentlaugh]

Grow and glow notes are SUCH a good idea!

[@thestephaniekurtz]

Thank you so much for this video!! This was still very helpful being a second year teacher. I started later in the school year my first year and had no idea where to even start. Can’t wait to start working on these!!

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Wishing you the best year yet!! 🥰🤍

[@chessc.3407]

YESSS to leaving on time. I used to come in early AND stay late. And btw 230pm ??? I wish! We are extended day and stay till 4sh. So def I go in extra early but leave on time

[@hannahbivins5848]

WHAT AN AMAZING RESOURCE!!! This was so helpful!! I hope you have a great school year.

[@HaileyCarvalho]

So glad it was helpful! Thank you, you too!🥰

[@Maaaddiiieee]

Wonderful video! I think a lot of the time new teachers (hi, it’s me) think more of the physical what needs to be done in the room more than these more procedural, paperwork kind of things. Thanks for the video!

[@kristinehle25]

Thank you for this video! I'm going to be a first year 5th grade teacher this August!

[@HaileyCarvalho]

Thank you for watching! Congratulations, that is so exciting! You’re going to love 5th! 🥰

[@landinhufford7063]

This video was so so helpful! I will be teaching kindergarten this year, and your advice was super helpful! Thank you!

[@AshantiStevens-b8u]

This is such a dope video! I'm going into my 4th year of teaching and i found this super helpful. I've been overwhelmed with planning for the new year but this helped me organize my planning! Watched it twice and took notes. Thank you

[@HaileyCarvalho]

Thank you so much for supporting, it really means so much to me! 🥰 Have an amazing year!! 🤍

I am going into my first year as a classroom teacher. I've been support staff the last 7 years as the staff building substitute and special education paraprofessional. I will be in a fourth grade classroom at a charter school. I'm really excited but nervous as well. I will also be in a new school, luckily the school I am going to uses the same math curriculum that my last school does so that is one less new thing on my plate. I'm working putting together the "Bones" of my data binder, sub binder, and procedures now as I came across this video. Classroom jobs are something I've seen used and hadnt really thought about doing them ahead but you're right, there are a handful I know I am going to want to have and that are needed regardless of what school/grade I am in. I completed my alternative certification program (1st half of a Masters in Elementary Ed) in December 2023 with student teaching, in 4th grade.

[@reneealexanderthechampteac3218]

I am in LOVE with your Glow and Grow notes and have wanted something like that for awhile! This year I’m moving from Kinder to 4th grade Math & Science and would love to know if you’re going to put those on your TpT store?

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I can definitely add them to my TPT soon!🥰

[@reneealexanderthechampteac3218]

[@shandyhtun6604]

hi hailey! my 1st day is on august 2nd 😭 how exactly do you effectively and efficiently go through all the procedures and routines the first week?

[@HaileyCarvalho]

There are sooo many procedures and routines, that it will go beyond just the first week. Try to follow the natural flow of your day and as procedures are needed, teach them! Basically teach them as you go and when they come up🥰 it’s super overwhelming even as a second year teacher, but as long as your consistent, it will turn out just fine!🤍

[@itschrisreads5899]

I hope your first year was fulfilling and lovely

[@heyheyitrachelgray]

Oh my goodness! This video was great! I teach CBI so a classroom economy would be perfect so I would love to hear more and find a way to adapt it to my old kiddos! I also have been stressed about the things I am doing and I am so glad I saw this and you listed most of the things I have been trying to do first before I plan decor and fun stuff! Thank you!! Having a self-care plan is amazing and I am totally incorporating that into my planning this year!!

[@HaileyCarvalho]

Thank you so much for watching! 🥰 So glad to hear you’re taking time to plan your self care, love!🤍

[@CatAndrina7]

This video was brilliant Hailey! The sheets you featured in your video (ie. Parent Communication Log sheet) are they available in your TPT shop?

[@HaileyCarvalho]

The Parent Communication Log was actually a TPT freebie I believe! I definitely should have found links before uploading 😂 I will try to find it and link it, thanks Cat!🥰

[@CatAndrina7]

@@HaileyCarvalho thanks so much 😁

[@HaileyCarvalho]

Everything is linked now! ☺️

[@thezennialteacher]

Thank you for this video!!! Also, I’m interested in the classroom economy. Where will you have your students store their money?

[@HaileyCarvalho]

Thank you for watching girly! 🤍 I have clear plastic zip envelopes from Amazon that I plan on labeling with their student number and them using as a “wallet”! ☺️

[@thezennialteacher]

@@HaileyCarvalho Oh how coo! Will they keep them in there backpacks?

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I think they’ll love it! And just in their desks! 🥰

Where did you find the push light that you talked about for your bathroom procedure? I’m not sure what to type in on Amazon lol & didn’t see it in your store!

[@HaileyCarvalho]

I got mine in the Target dollar spot last year, but you can find them at lots of different places! On Amazon I would just search “push light” ☺️

[@lainawaina9972]

Thank you

[@dianaguzman7556]

Was having classroom jobs too much to maintain? Like switching them out? How often did you do that?

[@HaileyCarvalho]

Not at all, they made my life so much easier!y students did ask to switch jobs sometimes, but we only got around to it like twice 😂 next year, I’m hoping to switch them up atleast 3 times

[@lucias1276]

No talking when asking t go to the bathroom?
