CLASSROOM TOUR 2016-2017 (3rd Grade) | A Classroom Diva

[@AClassroomDiva]

Hi! Just to clarify, the kids have recess a total of 12 TIMES a week! :) They have recess with aides outside every morning before school and every day at lunch. I take them out 2 extra times during the week (Tuesday and Wednesday), as those are the days we don't have specials. They still get recess twice a day, I just don't go out with them. Someone else is supervising during those times! :)

[@jaydendickens9514]

A Classroom Diva I really love ur videos sooo much more than enyother because they can encourage people to do what u do!!

[@deidrecrocker7529]

A Classroom Diva What is the name of the school you work at?

[@LoveMusicSoul1]

I wish more teachers in high school put this much effort into their classrooms

[@sephoralove28]

See, teachers like you are the ones that your students will remember 40 years down the line. The passion you have for your classroom, the effort you're making to be impactful on these children is beautiful-- I'll never forget the teachers like this.

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I know they may not remember what what I said or what our classroom looked like, but I sure hope that I am making a positive impact on their lives. Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!! I truly love what I do and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. :)

[@naaommixo]

Thank you!!! I love it! :)

[@Albert-xl3nx]

A Classroom Diva how old r u

[@katstella8930]

I love how you have designed your classroom with your children's needs being your main focus. Your room looks just beautiful. I can't wait to get my own class so that I can creat a reading nook and tree just like yours xxx

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much! :) Yes, I always try to make the kiddos' needs my first priority.

[@frenchenglishandspanishimm8749]

Beautiful classroom. Simple, clean and organized. I love how you placed the desks in rows. This is exactly what I would like to do in my own classroom! Great video.

[@rachelemine37]

I'm graduating in June and hoping for 3rd grade! I love all of your ideas thank you for sharing!

[@AClassroomDiva]

So exciting!!! So glad you find them helpful! :)

[@onionmini7232]

A Classroom Diva Hi I was a 3rd grader this year and now I am going into 4th grade after Summer!! 😇

[@jaydendickens9514]

[@mknation7178]

[@zoniaannebernardo8741]

Wow oh wow! Quite a creative production for a Third Grade Teacher covering the basic subjects - Reading, Grammar, Composition-Writing, Literature, Math, Art, Science ( too?). Such marvelous work shopping, preparation, and arrangement with some help from a supportive husband! This way, it ups the ante for the 4th Grade teacher! Multi-intelligence every moment of the day to keep tab of each of 27 student’s needs! Bless you, Mrs. Nichols for such upbeat anticipation! Love this!

[@lisakeneally6675]

This was so well detailed. I am a new 3rd grade teacher and the ideas I got from your amazing classroom has put my kind at ease about making a creative classroom that is friendly and organized. Thank You.

[@lissettelemuz5958]

I had to watch this video for a class in college and I enjoyed watching it so much. This gave me some great ideas as a future teacher. I love how you also put a link for everything.

[@allysonrushton2770]

I'm about to be a sophomore in college and man your videos have me rethinking my career path lol. I've always had interest in being a teacher and your videos are boosting that

[@antoinettemays8857]

I absolutely love how resourceful you are! I love how you used TPT and Target $1 corner to make your classroom look so good!!

[@samiah6836]

at 9:47 my class uses those but we make our own in our ELA folder.Our ELA folders have loose leaf in them.We call it a four square!

[@rebeccazamolofanx3329]

This is just an idea! If you would like you could get some mini whiteboards, ( about the size of an a4 page)markers and whiteboard cleaners ...if you have one for each child, every day (if they do sums for homework such as 1+4 etc.) and each day you can call out a sum and they write the answer and hold it up !

[@LM-xi5jp]

Wait, you only have recess 2 times a week? Did I hear that right?

[@ozazure]

That's what I've come to the comments to check out ... the mind boggles!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Sorry, I should have clarified! The kids have recess every day before lunch, but I take them out separately twice a week, so they technically have recess 7 times a week! :) I am not out there with the kids the other 5 times, only for the 2 that I personally take them out. I wish our schedule allowed me to take them out seperately everyday, but I had to keep the same schedule that was put into place when I started in November. Hope that helps with some of the confusion. 😊👍

[@LM-xi5jp]

A Classroom Diva Thank you for clarifying. That makes sense now. It's interesting how the amount of recess varies from place to place. For example, where I live all elementary schools have a 15min. morning recess at 10:30am, 30min. at lunch, and another 15min. at 2:00. It really keeps them more focused throughout the school day.

[@lindseybalducci8649]

There are elementary schools in my area that don't give kids any recess at all. I don't see how anyone could think this is a good idea. /:

[@kw4498]

L M - my school has 3 recesses each day... 15 mins in the morning, 40 mins after lunch and another 15 min at the end of the day.

[@pezzysunshine7898]

I would like to be a third grade teacher when I am older, your room inspires me the most!!

[@JacquiFricke]

This is the most organized, well done classroom I have ever seen. I made a whole word document of things I want to use!!

[@seemaahsan4142]

Jacqui Fricke you should watch pocketful of Primary her classroom is very organized too

[@Maryandtheword]

I am glad I found your channel. you are now one of my favorite teachers on you tube. I really enjoyed watching your videos.

[@clairepearl]

I am so happy that I found your channel! I am only a junior in high school, but my whole life I have wanted to be a teacher! I plan on going to college to study elementary education and I am so excited about it! I love your channel so much!

[@jemohseni]

Thank you soooo much!! New teacher here. I have a week to set up my classroom, & I've felt so lost. This helps so much!

[@bekkieritchie709]

Thank you so much for this! I have only taught first grade before and just found out I'm moving to 3rd this year. I quickly realized that a first grade classroom is set up way different than a 3rd grade. This was very helpful!

[@heathergil2746]

Thank you for being so incredibly organized! Love your ideas!!!

[@moniquedominguez6895]

Love your classroom! You brought so much much color and life into the room. I'm sure your kids love it!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you!!! They seem to! :)

[@bikergirl1052]

This year we had an extra student who didn't have a classroom job. One student suggested we create a substitute job so that if someone is absent their position will be covered. It turned out to be a brilliant idea.

[@bryana9003]

I am new to your channel and I absolutely love your videos. I am currently a junior in college and am expected to graduate in fall of 2019. I am in Early Childhood Education and recently have been getting overwhelmed with what’s to come for my future as a teacher. Watching your videos really help me take a step back and realize that teaching really isn’t as complicated as everyone makes it seem to be. I am very organized myself and I love how your classroom is put together and how everything is labeled because that’s exactly how I want my future classroom to be. Thank you for the helpful videos and I am happy I found your channel! 🤗

[@dorianvarney8261]

This reminds me so much of A Pocketful of Primary's classroom tour! Yall have inspired me so much!

[@iBeauty96]

I'm not even studying to be a teacher, I'm in nursing school. Idk how I ended up here hahaha This makes me miss grade school so much. I love the structure of it all.

[@kellyschwirzke1731]

Thanks for providing many strategies and your thought process on what works and what you won't repeat. I used your videos in a graduate course for teachers and they were well received.

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much for sharing, Kelly! :) I'm so glad they found the videos helpful.

[@leeannwelles3682]

I am one semester from graduating with my teaching degree, your video is so inspiring. I have classroom envy! So many great ideas!!

[@kristenmurphy2518]

I'm glad you accomadate all your kids! I wish you where my 3rd grade teacher!

[@krisreyes3747]

Just learned that I'll be teaching 3rd this year. Thanks for so many great ideas! LOVE UR ROOM!

[@flaviamuhluri]

Your classroom is very big I wish I also had a bigger class like this. I'm also a third grade teacher & I'm learning a lot. Kudos!

[@carolineSOfine2]

Okay I MUST have a VIP table!! I think my students would really respond to that positivity... and I have an extra table for it! 😍

[@AClassroomDiva]

They love it SO much! You should definitely use your extra table for that! :)

[@gcavazos1000]

When I have something I don't like the look of, like rubber bands to hang my curtain swag, cover the rubberbands by tying a pretty ribbon! you'll love it!

[@moyo1908]

Love your room! could you do a video on how you guided reading group?

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you!!! Absolutely! :)

[@mateninvlogs5785]

I love the after classroom, it's about time I get that done for my classroom!💗

[@laurenvermeer6284]

You seriously are the best teacher I bet you students love you I want to be as organized as you

[@sam-cu8dz]

You are so organized! What a great teacher so positive and up beat. Seems like a exciting class!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much!!! :)

[@elizabethhardy8615]

I love your STEAM station! I'm going into my final teaching practicum and I can not wait to introduce this into the classroom!

[@imoginelarue1191]

For the salt lamp you are supposed to keep it on all the time (I don't know if you knew that but my family has one and my mom read on an article that you are supposed to have the lamp on all the time it's should work better like that)☺️

[@flinryder7119]

I love love love your class room and how "a type" organised it is x

[@uncleseth2719]

Great vid. No apologies necessary for the seats in rows. I think that works great, and I do that sometimes too. It's a shame that people think it's never an option. We have a challenging task; we should keep all options open.

[@Happinesabcd]

Loved the way you have set up your classroom. all the very best !!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much! :)

[@mollysneddon7716]

hi xx I just found this Chanel and I'm addicted xx and its perfect because I want to be a teacher when I older xx

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thanks so much for watching, Molly! :)

[@Andrea-lh8yv]

I thoroughly enjoyed your classroom tour. The class looks so fantastic while also being super functional! Good look with the remainder of your school year 😀.

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@littlemissmakeup075]

love this, with the clipboards put them opposites so one the right way up the other with the clip down then next one the right way up then u will fined they may fit in

[@emmalinewilliams800]

That's weird I've never heard of steam but my school has stem ( science, technology,engineering and math

[@baileyroehr9420]

Oh my goodness! I just started watching your videos today and I love them! You seem like a fabulous teacher!💕

[@chauncley]

I don't plan on being a teacher but I love watching these videos

[@angelacarter9825]

Awesome Job! Well organized for the 3rd graders...

[@kellyslive]

You're an amazing teacher! Thanks so much for the videos!!!

[@CHloE748]

Holy crap that room is huge! My 3rd grade class Room was maybe 1/6 of that. Adults had to walk sideways just to get around the room without dumping things over. All my classrooms growing up were super small, though that was normal. Honestly this room is nearly as big as my old cafeteria 😂

[@rylangibbs2144]

I am actually a student. I just started watching the videos and they are amazing. My third grade teachers name was also Mrs.Nichols.

[@JN-go2yq]

so much wall space! so pretty and functional too.

[@victoriabrawn6445]

"Sorry it's not complete!" *literally has a giant paper tree* Real talk tho how did you make that? Tutorial please!

[@plateandgroove]

I love your classroom! I'm going to try to incorporate many of your ideas.

[@jeanetteneil3679]

So much room in your classroom. Wonderful teaching organisation. I just don't have enough room on my walls for charts AND child centred work.

[@allisontollman]

Beautiful classroom management! Thanks for sharing! Question: where did you get the pink and green baskets with the flowery cuts? Also I think I am going to have to get a silhouette cameo, you have fabulous labels! Love! Love! Love this video!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Allison Tollman Thank you so much!!! Also, all of those bright baskets are from Dollar Tree! 😊

[@allisontollman]

:-)

[@ambercopperrose]

I just found your channel tonight and have watched several videos!! Love your content ❤️❤️❤️

[@MrsBryon]

I love how organized your room is and you have so much storage space! I think the differing schedules would drive me crazy. tfs

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you! :) It did drive me crazy at first, but I finally have a handle on it. During my first few years of teaching, my schedule was the same every single day. This year, I kept what the grade level already had in place. My hope is to adjust it for next school year!

[@zelmaa5736]

Your classroom is amazing. I am SO envious of all of the storage you have. I basically have four cupboards like the ones you have your handwriting charts on. That's it! I've had to buy bookcases and a couple of cupboards, but I have to keep a LOT of materials at home. My classroom is also much smaller than yours. You are very lucky.

[@AClassroomDiva]

Wow! I do love the cabinets, but I didn't realize I had that much storage. Counting my blessings, then! :) I do keep a ton of materials at home, as well, as we move every few years, so it's easier to move everything from home than move all that stuff to and from classrooms. Thanks for your comment!

[@rowanmcneill5310]

Oh my gosh your class room is so cute and organized. I love you channel so much💗

[@GreenEyes-rg4yr]

We were just told our inner city 1st graders are only getting one 15 min recess a day. As always, we are supervising, and it must be a structured activity. Got to love it. Parents will flip.

[@GreenEyes-rg4yr]

And, there are no aides. Even when there were aides, they never were responsible for recess duties.

[@Alexahoover1]

You are so stinkin adorable!! I'm a junior in college studying early childhood education and I cannot wait to decorate my classroom!! 💖 Love your room :)

[@SoyTuPrincesita92]

OMG I absolutely love your classroom! It is so organised but also very inviting! How did you make your tree? AMAZING!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much!!! :) It is just long, crepe paper and masking tape. My hubby just helped me crumple it together and we used masking tape to stick it to the walls. Easy peasy!

[@SoyTuPrincesita92]

A Classroom Diva I was way too keen to comment and realised you explained later in the video. Thank you for your reply!

[@lunaeliza4332]

wow I love you video typically long videos I skipped through but actually i watch the whole thing thank you for making me videos I understand more what my teacher go through day by day

[@cyriltanael5840]

[@jc3teacher265]

I have my room set up the same way but with students having individual desks! Nice job!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Love it! Thanks for sharing! I wasn't sure how I felt about rows of tables. In kindergarten, my students had table groups/clusters and I had more flexible seating, so I am still getting used to this. :) Glad I am on the same page as other teachers! What grade do you teach?

[@miatapony16]

I wish my life was as organized as your classroom...LOL.

[@AClassroomDiva]

Aww, thanks, Tori! Not ALL aspects of my life are this organized. lol! :)

[@luckiestcharm]

I'm not a teacher, but I really enjoyed this video. I got some great organization tips from you. Thanks!

So glad you found some ideas! :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@educate4fun]

Thanks for sharing! Your class looks great!

[@evieeemoose3356]

Your classroom is so neat and tidy! I definitely think that you made it look so better with all of your creative ideas. If I was in that classroom it would make me fell very inspired. I was wondering though., did you come in in the middle of the year after a teacher had left? Thank you for the awesome video!

[@kaitlyntanner4898]

It looks like your missing math cubby was in the second to last cabinet you opened! It had unifix cubes in it :) loved this so much! I hope to be as organized and cheerful as you when I start teaching next year

[@AClassroomDiva]

Oh my goodness...you are SO right! Just goes to show I haven't done much with that cabinet yet. Haha! Thank you. :)

[@amandaw216]

[@walkingthroughashes8982]

I love the VIP Table Is that like by day type thing? or like randomly though the day or what?

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you, Ashley! :) I haven't had it long - only a few weeks, so I have only rotated students through once at the beginning of February. I was wondering how I should work it as well - every week? monthly? What do you think? The kiddos love it so far and I want to make sure every child has a chance to sit there before the end of the year, if possible. Any suggestions are welcome! :) I just wish I had added it sooner!

[@lunatum2335]

A Classroom Diva Hi since two months have passed I was wondering if you have figured out how to make it fair? Also I totally love your classroom, I wish it was possible to personalize one in my country but sadly we have way less freedom when it comes to decorating /: But all of your ideas are just amazing, and so organized! Greetings from Poland (: xx

[@shannon4407]

A Classroom Diva You should do it for b day months and each child whose b day is that month gets to sit at the vip table

[@kaitlynduras8741]

[@hollisy70]

Omg I love this! It's so organized but it's very creative! I'm in middle school but I wish I could go back in time to third grade 😂😂 great job!!

[@alaceplace]

Such great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@wendymasonmusician8329]

Your classroom is huge! I'm an art teacher in a public school from South Africa, specialising in music and drama. We have one classroom that isn't even an art room that is shared among SIX teachers! It makes me so angry, because I cannot decorate or organise the classroom the way I feel fit otherwise the other teachers ideas clash! I have another classroom that is technically a closet where I teach my private learners. Again, not sufficient. Our school actually has a theatre and I try my best to sneak them in to give a meaningful lesson, but it is against our rules to do so. I mean why? Anyway, teaching is my life and I make use of all the facilities I have in the best way possible (yes, even sneaking the learners into the theatre at most times for a practical lesson). You are a shining example of what a teacher should be. Keep up the good work, your learners are already reaping the benefits of all your hard work. XOXO

[@JacquiFricke]

Did you spend a tonnnn of time making all this stuff? As a new teacher, I always wonder about the logistics!

[@jemohseni]

New teacher here also. I can only hope to have 1/20th of all this. Like, how?
