A Day in the Life of a 3rd Grade Teacher - CLASSROOM CHANGES?!

[@johnitadickerson999]

I love how real you are. Your vlogging style makes me feel like a friend getting a peek into your teaching life rather than just a viewer seeing a super polished and perfectly edited vlog. I love the way you think in terms of organization and then how you allow us to see you organize. (I am not naturally a planner or super organized so I learn a lot from you! Haha.) I first started following you because of your classroom set up videos and your thought process in breaking up huge projects ( like setting up your room) in manageable chunks--something I am still learning! Keep doing what you're doing! Stay you and authentic!

[@kristenlee6408]

Thank you for always being so genuine and funny...I'm much older than you and have been teaching for 21 years but can relate to your style very well. You portray teaching in a very real way (the good and the bad) and the fact that there was a plastic tag on your shirt collar (which must be new) made me think about the time I wore pants that still had the size sticker going down the leg for a WHOLE morning before one of my students asked about it. I love your videos and please keep them coming!

Thank you SO MUCH for really doing multiplication tables, I teach in an after school program where I help kids with homework and they all need times table practice!!

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

I love watching classroom setup videos and getting more organized bins for your classroom assignments for your students and your teachers to get started with organizing storage in your classroom all them things for students supplies bins and blankets for extra storage bins like paper and pens and colors pencils and markers and pencil bins

[@mimicupcakeable]

For the school bucks maybe do a small desk organizer or even a flashcard/coupon organizer to sort and store them

[@katie3114]

I love that you are showing the real mess of a classroom. My classroom legitimately looks like that at the end of everyday. I feel like a hot mess but it’s nice to see it’s not just me!

[@RennyYenny]

You should do bonus points they are a paper that is shaped like a rectangle and it says bonus point and it have a QR code on it and it’s a app that if you get one you get on the device that have the app and scan the QR code (FYI) you get to put what ever you want to put on the QR code ( hope that was helpful)

[@candiceo6194]

You could use an over the door shoe hanger for the headphones, the kind that has the metal brackets over the door

[@jeniahoward]

I have an idea for your Eagle tickets. You can store them in index card boxes or those photo box (normally come in a set all in another container) containers I hope that made sense. Happy Birthday!

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

I love watching classroom set up video lots

[@veronicah3095]

I remember doing the multiplication test you were talking about and always feeling upset when I couldn’t finish but very happy when I did. I distinctly remember one girl sobbing because she got so frustrated. I do think it’s good to have to apply what you have learned without any help and looking back they weren’t that bad.

[@georoquev]

Use a white perm marker for desk name tags. It can be removed with a magic eraser.

[@simplyraeann3711]

The little plastic tag on the back of your shirt! 😂 Just a little laugh for my day!

[@axlovesxyou]

For the headphones they do sell door hooks that go on the top of the door making it impossible for them to fall.

[@carlgrimeseyepatch27]

In 3rd grade I remember we were only suppose to wear analog watches to school so we can practice. I also really struggled with multiplication in 3rd grade.

[@stacyamsden]

Im a third grade teacher too from TimeToTeach here on youtube. My kiddos also love timed tests, we only do it every so often, but they really enjoy it. I love how you show your messy areas of your room, it makes me feel better, because my desk and area behind my desk are a disaster half of the time, and I have been rearranging my room since the kids came.....ugh I just cant find the 'perfect' way for everything lol! Love your channel!

[@fizsonline]

you make school look so fun

[@isapardo69]

A classroom is always a work in progress so don’t worry about changing things around...it’s part of the learning process🤗

[@alisonmcdonald4387]

I hang my students mouse and headsets on hooks that are on the whiteboard. They are connected to the whiteboard so that I can clip anchor charts or classroom maps on them. It has worked very well so far.

[@jordyrios5354]

I loved this video. I suggestion about the Eagle tags, maybe a little three drawer. I saw some of them were different colors so maybe three is good enough for the different colors. If they were smaller I would suggest the miniverison. My mentor teacher uses a mini one for her tickets.

[@kellitravis2651]

When you get it redone - you will feel so much better!!! Caddies didn't work for me. I take 10 minutes at the end of every day, no matter how tired I am or late it is to do a quick pick up. Makes my next day start SO much better. I have also found with particularly messy group - I take about 5 to 7 minutes to teach them how to do, and then it becomes an expectation. It's there room and they should have some responsiblity too.

[@colbimarie]

Omg I have those same green caddies for my kiddos! Drives me nuts.

[@Kimberlyle98]

Hi. Love the videos. For the headphones try over the door coat hooks and O rings on the shoe organizer if needed. Hope that helps!

[@lenaaamarie3]

I’m giving up the the caddies too - kids have destroyed them haha. Instead I just went to the dollar tree and bought storage bins for each of the table groups and we’ll only take them out when we need them. The only thing that’ll be on their desks is their pencil holder. My kids keep playing with stuff in their caddies which is why I’m removing them all together

[@kokeshi8352]

I've never used caddies. I find that having students take care of their personal supplies is much better and a neater solution. I do however have a basket where the left behind supplies go into at the end of the day. Kids are careless and leave pencils and crayons and glue on the floor, so I pick it up and deposit the goodies in that bin. Throughout the year the items in there come and go. It all gets thrown away at the end of the year. I appreciated that your vlog showed the reality of teaching and keeping the room organized. When we are busy teaching, there is little time for anything else, so the classroom ends up looking like a hot mess until a teacher work day.. #teacherproblem. I always enjoy your vlogs young lady, keep up the fantastic work!

[@pre-kdivertido3198]

love seeing your classroom! great ideas like always

[@ctoyota88]

I remember learning my times tables.....NOT. I actually never really learned them and started to memorize some the more I did math in the higher grades. My 3rd grade teacher's way of teaching the times tables was to give us the list and make us memorize them. Then our "test" was to stand in front of the whole class and recite them without stuttering. I have always had a hard time memorizing and I was also shy so that didn't work out well for me. So my punishment for not passing my "tests" was to stay in from recess everyday, write my times tables over and over until I could recite them in front of her. This went on for a few months till my mom found out and had me pulled from her math class and into my homeroom teacher's math class. I didn't care for those timed multiplication tests but I did better on them than the alternative and it helped me memorize some of the tables better.

[@autumn62219]

Ask your principal about getting Reflex Math for practicing facts!!! My SIXTHS love it and it’s differentiated based on the level of the kid! Also I attempted to start the Boo around my school, but he hasn’t traveled very far :(

[@beandipshell]

I’m a second year teacher and I swear we are going through all the same stuff. I’m not looking forward to Halloween week at all. I like the fun, but my kids have been crazy.

[@latishahills1083]

Hi. In my country lunchtime is 1hr, and Recess is 15mins. How long are lunch and recess?

[@JN-go2yq]

I have never laughed so much looking at your video. I feel so much better now because my class has the same issues.

[@itsjaxkie]

Happy early bday!!! Loving the videos❤️

What happened to the beautiful wall paper at the front of the room? Never mind I see it. Mine kept unraveling. Any suggestions?

[@lanaforeman1500]

We did something like that but it was I’ve been mugged and it had a mug on it

[@joycebenzi6056]

Happy birthday! How do you give your differentiated spelling tests?

[@amber4653]

First, Happy Birthday and bonus points for you for taking a day for yourself! Second, you remind me so much of myself it's scary. Lol. If you walked into my room it's a disaster. I just can't get it all done in one day and honestly, I don't care. Love the vlogs! Here's to surviving Halloween!

[@caitlinswenson1794]

I love how real you are! Do you make your own spelling sheets or do you get them from somewhere?

[@justateacherthing8949]

I really need to differentiate my spelling, but am clueless on where to begin. I'm also really not loving caddies. I may switch to a new system, soon. Great vlog!

[@kirstieeb7]

Just A Teacher Thing if you start differentiating, definitely check out spellingcity.com for having the students take tests!! It’s a life savor!

[@kristenlaughlin4510]

2nd grade we use individual zippered pencil pouches. I love it so that’s a thought. 😉

[@rafalcharuta2941]

I'm a 4th Grade teacher, sick of children messing with caddies during input which causes a messy work environment and table and aswell the child won't know what to do because they haven't listened got rid of them and got each person, and pupil a own seat and their own draw underneath their table infront of them where they store their, stuff and equipment and their personal belongs.

[@aaronlanier]

Whaat? You’re changing your classroom??? I loved it since you first moved into your new classroom! Oh, and I tried Starbucks for the first time on Tuesday and I decided to try the Hot Chocolate and I fell in love with it!

[@magdatravels1455]

Hi! :) I just wanted to say I really love your vlogs because they inspire me so much :) I'm also going to be a teacher soon :) But I just wanted to ask you a little favor for our planet: would you maybe consider taking a reusable coffee cup to get your starbucks coffee in? :) I don't know about the US, but here in Austria, you even get a discount if you get a takeaway coffee with your own reusable cup :)) so it's not only plastic reduction but also cheaper in the long run :D xx

You are a 3rd grade teacher. Decluttering your life is a constant never ending job. I think it's because making a baby represents such a large decrease in local energy, the baby needs to spend the next several years increasing local entropy to make up for the decrease their creation caused. Don't take it personally. It's just physics.

[@melissaandres764]

I just stared as an aide and the one teacher had me help her hang stuff up with hot glue. Sticks really well with just a dot and doesn’t damage the surface or paint. Not sure but that might work for your headphones

You really need to lock your door, especially if you put the fact you do not on the internet. If someone recognizes where you live, you might come home to less stuff than when you left. And as George Carlin says, "We have to have to protect our stuff." kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqnCgp59hah_Z5o
