CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION & DECLUTTER | prepping for classroom set up

[@chrismichael5673]

My kid loves school I think she's going to be in your class!!!!!

[@ahoy_elementary7826]

I like how you bought everything as you saw you needed it. I would’ve been so overwhelmed with everything she left, but thankful.

[@chrismichael5673]

JK sorry really

[@lanas_life_style]

loved this video so much !!! MORE ORGANISATION VIDEOS THERE SO GOODD

[@carlamatthewbsbmpm2247]

I've been going through my class library all year as a new teacher...hoping to get the books sorted this summer before school.

[@daniellekries7222]

Great job!! It's amazing how matching bins can make it look so much more organized.

[@inspiringedventures1287]

I know 🤩 it looks like a whole new classroom!

[@daniellekries7222]

@@inspiringedventures1287 I am starting year 32 and I joke that I am walking out with my purse at the end. All the subs are wanting my room of treasures when I leave. Good luck this year. You will be great!!

[@inspiringedventures1287]

@@daniellekries7222 🤣🤣 Thank you!!

[@Spedteacher2020]

Retired last year after 32 years. I pretty much left with a Xerox box of my stuff and left the rest. Best of luck to you for a long and happy career. I ❤️ teaching elementary

[@claudiaberger9560]

I also retired at the end of last year after 40 years! I like watching these videos because they remind me of my first time teaching 😊

[@ms.kelseylu9202]

Love what you've done to get started! And the ending tour with your friend was adorable! Love the enthusiasm!!

[@HugMeBrothaaaaaaa]

I’ve never seen so many books in a single classroom!

[@deec9720]

Your room looks great!! What a blessing to have so many books and materials.

[@stephanietowles2304]

U can even take all the gardens stuff home tell u need it so u can have space and u could take the holiday books that u don't need u bring each holiday of books in when u need them

[@DisneyPoppinsDisney]

Your first learning space looks outstand your crew and you have done an outstanding job.... Wishing you the best for your first year

[@blancajrodriguez]

Omg girl I decluttered decades worth of junk today! Not done but oh man I feel you!!

[@kgaipo72]

Wow! You guys worked so fast getting everything organized. I love your rocking chair. I set my desks up the same way!

[@ms.coleinfirst2467]

Ok i'm jealous of that math manipulative organization! It looks amazing!!!

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Thank you!! 💗

[@mretaughtus2152]

It really does! If I could ever get my manipulatives that organized they would just be for display, lol.

[@terrificintk]

Wow! You accomplished so much and it looks great! I’m swooning over the divided bin for your unifix cubes. 😍 Can’t wait to see more of your classroom set up. Enjoy your vacation! ☺️

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Thank you so much! And yes, the divided bin was one of my favorite container store purchases 😍

[@keatonriley4161]

I’m about to be a first year teacher, as well. I’m becoming a 2nd grade teacher!! I’m very nervous but excited, especially as a male teacher! Good luck :)

[@MrHannaEDU]

Keaton, you’re a unicorn! Us male teachers are hard to find at the elementary level but when there is one or two, people do look twice. You’re in an important and crucial position to spark a different perspective on learning so take full advantage of it. I’m in my 8th year and love it. Feel free to reach out any time.

[@keatonriley4161]

@@MrHannaEDU thank you so so much! Your words just gave me so much hope and joy. I appreciate you and will reach out!!

[@MrHannaEDU]

Btw Becky, your room is looking great and your friend is amazing. Wow I need me teacher friends like that!

[@christinewoodward]

What an awesome friend to help you organize. It can be so overwhelming on your own. It is looking great!

[@jennavanderveen258]

Girl! I am in the same boat. I've been battling how to tackle everything. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@inspiringedventures1287]

It can be so overwhelming!! You got this 🤗

[@Jen.Rothstein]

Glad to find your channel. This coming year is my first year with 1st grade also.

[@Necee75]

Howdy 🤠 from Texas! The 2021-22 school year is my eighth professional year teaching, but first time in 1st grade. I’m sooooooo💃🏾EXCITED!!!🙌🏾👏🏾

[@amberwilkins2987]

This was so relaxing to watch!

[@memoirsfrommiddleschool9938]

I love your rocking chair and foot rest! So cute!

[@allisonhager3044]

For you to be such a small channel, I am blown away. Amazing job! I am excited to follow along on your teaching journey. 💕

[@rachellestewart9946]

Number corner is great to use for calendar. You are lucky that all those things came with your room. I know you are excited about your recess cart but how are kids going to take stuff out to play with it. Are they going to pull out the whole DRawer?

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Yes, I am planning on labeling all the drawers on the recess cart and just having them pull the drawers out. I tried not to fill them super full so that my students will be able to fit everything back in the drawer and be able to put the drawer back on the cart :)

[@BrittanyandWill]

ahh yay! i was a first year first grade teacher last year!

[@aliceburns6033]

I see F&P and you will love it! First grade teacher too 😊

[@karbear26]

I’m so glad you had your friend to help you reorganize that was a lot of work for you to do! It looks great! Are the books labeled so the kids/ you know what bins they go back into? The classroom is nice and big! I had my daughter remote last year because her classroom was half the size of yours with 28 kids in her class!! No way to socially distance with COVID-19! I hope you have a wonderful year!

[@isabelmariamendezrochaorop3374]

Hello. I love your organization and admire all of your hard work. I teach first grade in Los Angeles so I know how hard it is to teach. Don't feel like you have to keep all of the stuff you inherit from teachers. Also, don''t spend too much of your money (I did all of that when I first began and now I know better). My advice is, since you're just beginning, especially for the first year, get to know your style of teaching and what you need and what you don't. I still spend money every summer, especially at Target, for my classroom. But I have a better idea now of stuff that I need and things i don't. Good luck this year!

[@blancajrodriguez]

Great advice. However I think it’s good to invest in storage items and things you can use for a few years.

[@jennamicheleable]

I have that shirt! And can't wait to watch your video!

[@maryelizabethjaquay9215]

Best of luck, your room looks great. I have taught over20 years middle school science and social studies, 7 years SED and now with autistic and MDS.

[@bonecrusher9745]

You are absolutely amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on anything like soda or water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip

[@xonetra]

Even though going through all those books looked like a task 😅 I’d love that problem cause I’m struggling with building my classroom library. Loved the video

[@carolmcelwee6882]

I love the container for your colored cubes. Do happen to know the name of it of Sku#. I would love to get.😄

[@pambarnes5977]

Hi ...I am a veteran teacher (21st year coming up). I love watching videos from new teachers with all of their fresh and fun ideas. Your room looks fantastic so far. Can't wait to see the final product! Would you be able to tell me the name of the connecting cubes storage box and the little clear boxes you were pouring other math manipulatives into? They look perfect for what I am trying to accomplish this year! Best of luck on your first year in the classroom. P.S. You are going to LOVE first grade. They are more independent than Kinder but still love their teacher...and they growth you see throughout the year is the most rewarding!

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Hi, thank you for all the love! I bought majority of my containers from the container store. Here is a link to both items! The ones I used for my math manipulatives come in a variety of sizes if you want to use them for other things around your classroom :) Divided Unifix Container:www.containerstore.com/s/artbin-double-deep-super-satchel/d?q=plastic+storage+bin+with+dividers&productId=11002706 Math Manipulatives Containers: www.containerstore.com/s/our-clear-storage-boxes/d?q=clear+bins+with+lids&productId=11004743

[@katepassarell8045]

How did the plastic boxes hold up with the books - the clear weave target ones?

[@Curiousabc]

Does your f r iend teach at your school too? Or just really helpful

[@inspiringedventures1287]

No she actually teaches in a different district! She happened to have the week off and graciously offered to help ☺️

[@triciasuglian4507]

I absolutely love how organized you are! Please make sure to cover your book shelves with some type of curtain so your students won't be distracted by all there is to look at. Less is more when is comes to overstimulating young brains.

[@heidiwitter4490]

Teachers who leave their books are being kind, but leaving old lesson junk is NOT professional! I hope you were able to trudge through and throw stuff away. Good luck in your first year!

[@marissapowell2591]

I absolutely LOVE your chair! What kind of paint did you use for that? 😍😍

[@inspiringedventures1287]

I just used acrylic!

[@TheFamilyFunnyFarm]

How did you categorize your levels? Did you look up each book, or use an app? Great job!

[@inspiringedventures1287]

I used scholastic and google to look up levels! For the ones I couldn’t find, I had a team teacher help me roughly guess 😁

[@Mimi11281]

Where did you get the leveled readers baskets?

[@inspiringedventures1287]

I got the clear braided ones from target! 😁

[@bridgetlingelbach4321]

Hi! Are your book bins from dollar tree?

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Yes!

[@brandymarlowe807]

I hope that your school reimburses you for some of those containers, because- HELLO- but WHERE are your CABINETS???

[@TheBarlow16]

Kids are baby goats they are children or young ones that is what my grandmother would remind me

[@2112jp]

Love your classroom, but it looks like you spent so much money...yikes!
