Oh my goodness what a beautiful surprise! I have been watching your old videos non stop because they are so good with so many ideas. It's nice to know you are well, thanks for the video!

[@callie4738]

Yay! Can’t wait to watch your set up vlogs again this year

[@laurabaerg8095]

Oh my gosh- I am SO excited to see you back!!! Love your videos! ❤❤

[@sjg2496]

Love this unlock system. Your room is gorgeous!

[@jamieh5208]

So happy you’re back! I missed your videos. I’m excited to see your set up. I’m moving districts and grades so I’m starting all over again. The district I’m going to used Wonders. I’m interested to see what it’s like for kindergarten. I’m moving to kinder from 3rd. Hope you have a great year!!

[@Ms.smilingfaces]

I love the idea and Leadership teams. If possible can you make a video going more in depth.

[@rwel9118]

Yay! Seeing this made my day! I’m so ready to see my room on Monday and check the damage!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Awwww you made MY day!!! Good luck on Monday!!

[@thetraumainformedteacher]

I don't know what you guys have done in the past, but I have liked when our team did staff shoutouts at the beginning of each staff meeting. We recognize each other for things that are different than admin, and it feels different receiving it from a colleague. Admin could also opt to recognize people during this time if wanted. One of my schools had a tradition of giving eagle feathers to the person they recognized. (We were the Eagles.) People kept a cup of feathers on their desk to remind them of the positive moments. I have seen where there is one award and staff passes it around each meeting. The person nominated from the last meeting has to recognize someone the next time. Kinda fun and something to look forward to.

[@abubblyclassroom]

That is so sweet!! We do something similar with footballs that you sign, but I like that you get to keep the feathers forever!

[@rwel9118]

I just love your videos! I can't wait to see this year's setup!

[@summing_it_up_in_6th]

So excited to see your classroom setup video pop up!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Awwwww yay!!! Thank you!!! 🥰🤗

[@mbosch501]

Oh my! So happy to have your videos pop up on my feed again! Your videos me so much even in my LLD self-contained class! Teaching middle special Ed but I LOVE watching your videos ❤️

[@hollykovacs1343]

Glad to see you back! Thanks for the motivation and great ideas. Looking forward to more videos!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you so much for being here!!! 🤗

[@rebeccagoodman8858]

I love your classroom! ❤️

[@teacherof20]

Love your classroom!

[@dhines3804]

Yea- so glad to see your video! I was hoping you were well and just taking a much needed break! I still have a month left to summer though so my stomach flopped thinking about going back! 😀 I do love watching set up videos to get new ideas!

[@abubblyclassroom]

LOL!! Enjoy the month!!! I go back in two weeks 🥴

[@lauras731]

Yay!! I missed you!! I love your videos!! 💜💜💜

[@abubblyclassroom]

Aww thank you for coming back!!! 🤍🤍

[@wendyhoward2699]

Glad to see you back. I’ve been watching for you. Although I don’t teach now, I still love it

[@alidathebooks806]

I'm kind of late to the party as I just found your channel but we do a shout out Friday where admin picks a staff member to recognize and everyone reply all so that you say amazing things about your team mates. It's a very positive and fun way to say thank you

[@journeytocontentment2050]

So glad your back! I love all of your videos! 🥰😘

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you!!! I am so glad to be back! 🥰🥰

[@lisanungester3003]

Ohmygosh! I’ve been watching for you to pop up‼️👏👏👏. We’re starting Wonders in third this year and the B.E.S.T. Standards/Benchmarks. So happy to see you! I’m starting to organize my room as well🤗🤗

[@abubblyclassroom]

You are the sweetest!!! We will be in the Wonders boat together!! Good luck with organizing sweet friend!

[@brittneyburton5365]

I love the idea Heather shared below about the Principal coming in and letting you have a 30 min break and THEY have to watch teh classroom!! Literally would be EYE OPENING for the principal to have to sit in the classroom and try to manage the kiddos. mine had no idea what it was actually like. ***upon further reading of her comment, I LOVE the idea even more about getting the grades all tgoether for a movie and letting the teachers have actual classroom time during school hours that's 2-3 hours! plus the kids get a fun "movie" reward. I'd even say maybe you could skip 1 Bus/Car duty (if y'all have to do that) and the principal or VP could take over yoru shift. If the principal has an assigned parking spot up front, he could give it up to a teacher for a day/week as a reward for something.

[@abubblyclassroom]

That movie idea is crazzzzyyy, I love it! The parking spot idea is genius too! And so easy!

[@wendyhoward2699]

I’m really glad to see you back. I’ve been watching to see when you were back. Although I don’t teach now, I love to watch people set up their classrooms. Blessings.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Awww thank you for coming back!!! 🤗🥰

[@lorikochan1056]

So glad to see you back!!!

[@abubblyclassroom]

So glad to be back!! Thank you for being here!

[@wessonkjess]

Oh I missed these vidoes! Can't wait to get some inspiration!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you!!! I hope they can bring some inspiration! Even though it just feels like I walked around the room the whole time 🤣

[@onedeturmanedteacher]

Been wondering if you were going to do a video this year. I’ve been watching you as I prepare for my 5th year.

[@calmaschamomile1252]

Long time no see! 😍 I was watching some 2021 classroom setup videos this week. It’s that time again!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Right?! I fell off hardcore! 🤣 It is definitely that time again! Bittersweet!

[@gwenmoore3310]

My principal has a plinko board with options of, extra 30 minute lunch (she covers the class), sonic drink, a duty covered, arrive 15 mins late and jeans pass.

[@abubblyclassroom]

This sounds so fun!!! I want us to get one of the plinko boards! 😍

[@heatherdplans37]

At my last school… there were parent and community sponsors… a former teacher created an encouragement team and we would get gifts quarterly…it used to be monthly but that got too much for some people to remember. We would get monthly notes of encouragement! There was a survey we filled out that stated our top picks and favorites…this could have been not only personal but classroom needs/wants…but mainly personal. One year they pick 2 or 3 teachers to give a gift basket to of favorite snacks and cute trinkets to give out to students.

[@sarinadean1038]

I really like your job system!

[@wendymadden8535]

I missed your videos. I love how bright and fresh your class is.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you so much!!!! It feels good to be back in there!

[@bettyspaghetti4803]

My desk is going to look similar. My mom organized it before the end of school and I did t realize they turn the thing sideways to get it out of the room. The joys of summer.

[@amber4653]

You're like me when you walk into your room...you just don't know where to begin! Your classroom is lovely and HUGE compared to mine. I am so jealous of your closet!! Looking forward to more videos. Good luck with your school year!

[@abubblyclassroom]

The first day is so rough!!! Thank you! Good luck to you too! 🤗🤗

[@Courtnos302]

Hi againBubbly! Gift cards and snacks - look forward to seeing you every year🥰

[@abubblyclassroom]

We love a good gift card and snack! 👏 Thank you for being here!!

[@sewonsister]

For teacher recognition...coffee, take the class for 30 minutes to give the teacher a break, our principal buys dollar lottery scratchers and passes them out at staff meetings. I agree, we need healthier snacks sometimes!

[@abubblyclassroom]

I LOVE getting scratchers!!! I definitely want to recommend that 😍

[@marisolmartin1329]

You’re so lucky that you didn’t have to take down the bulletin boards. Long time no see. I hope you had a good end of the year and summer break

[@danellycarazo8781]

🌞So happy to see you!!!! Love your videos, I was going to say What is going on lol but no honestly I know you deserve your summer break

[@jacquelinegrace3]

I had to chuckle… 😅When you said 130 what to do in 30 minutes…? The old me would’ve said I can do one more shelf to organize or something… The new me says good time to stop get in the car go grab a smoothie get your appointment early! 🍓🥤💇🏼‍♀️ teachers have to work hard to remember to take them‘s care of themselves too!!

[@Be_Kind_Rewind]

Welcome Back! Can never go wrong with a gift card or maybe the admin can make a book order purchase for your classroom?

[@abubblyclassroom]

Oooo one of my teammates recommended the book order too - such a good idea!!! #iamabookhoarder

[@MKDSSenior1]

Love your room!!! Where did you get the bins that you are keeping your Unlock Challenge pieces and unit task boxes in???

[@lauryshattock7570]

Good to see you and your videos!!!! What day do you start?

[@featheredsociety4025]

I love the idea of leadership teams and pairing with classroom jobs. It seems that it's gone well for you as you continue to do it year after year. I love the fact that they will naturally get to practice conflict resolution and such. The management aspect of it, as a teacher, worries me. I'm debating this option or just give up and have 2 kids do all the jobs each week rotating through the class in alphabetical order. Agh decisions.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Whatever works best for you, I say do it! I have a good friend I work with who has a “student leader” and “assistant student leader” and they are in charge of everything! It’s all about what works in your room with your kids!

[@reghanbrown9706]

Last year I was a 2nd year 2nd grade teacher and your videos were so helpful! Now that I’m going into my 3rd year it makes me excited to see more of your videos for this year! 😁❤️

[@abubblyclassroom]

Oh my goodness thank you!!! I hope you are loving 2nd grade, it is my fave!!

[@luannierodriguez]

At the end of each year we’re asked to take down everything and take home all personal stuff for paint retouching and floor waxing. It always annoyed me, but now I understand why! Sorry about your desk 😩

[@abubblyclassroom]

My old school was like that 😩 It is SO hard to take everything down every single year!!!

[@enchanted1314]

I’m at a leader in me school and I would love to see how you implement it in the classroom! I’m lost😩

[@kimbass922]

I love your classroom, videos and your TPT creations. I purchased your font bundle and your Leadership Teams Classroom Jobs. I have one font that I can't find ABCLoveThatJourneyForMe. I would love to get that font so my slides are formatted and looking as beautiful as you designed them. Could you direct me to where that font is located? Thank you for sharing!

[@sandraperez3161]

Had a principal that would give us a 2 hour pass for either arriving late or leaving early. The pass was offered every semester and it had an expiration date. Most of us used it for doctors appointments .

[@caseyfowler7623]

I love your room!❤ Where can I find the 7 habits posters? I love them!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Email me at [e-mail] 🤗

[@thetraumainformedteacher]

Love your color scheme! Where did you get those paper flowers?

[@abubblyclassroom]

I made them! Used these templates: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Paper-Flower-Templates-Tutorial-and-SVG-Cliparts-for-Cricut-or-Silhouette-4053758

[@katyr7513]

Lol! Great post!!

[@melissamoyers573]

I love all your labels with the colorful “chunky” letters! Is this a font that I can download or are there editable labels in your TpT store? Please let me know how I can get them. I love them!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you! They are in my store here: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pastel-Rainbow-Organization-Set-7017499

[@kgaipo72]

Our admin took all the kids from a grade level out for 30 minutes of extra recess either right before specialist or right after so teachers could have an extra 30 minute prep period. They also came in the week going into Christmas break and did a holiday read aloud and craftivity to give us 30 minutes of extra prep time.

[@LottyDotty05]

Our admin did that and it was amazing! I had a long lunch and was even able to go home and take a nap because we just had to report back to school for our prep. It was the best thing ever.

[@kgaipo72]

@@LottyDotty05 both times they did the extra recess were in a Friday for our grade level. They came to get the kids at 1:00 then brought them to specialist at 1:35 for us. We picked them up at 2:15 like normal and at that point it was time to get ready to go home. It was so great because I only had to stay a few extra minutes past when we are allowed to leave and I was ready for Monday and Tuesday of the following week instead of just Monday morning.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Woahhhh both of these sound amazing!! Our admin covered us for recess once a month and that was so nice, hoping they do that again this year!

[@cheriwilson8727]

Ma’am! Where have you been???? 😅 My teacher bff have had group discussion about “ Where is she”. So glad you’re back. Self-care is important.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Awwww!!! I am here! Just got busy and fell off the face of the youtube-earth! 🤣🤣 Thank you for coming back!!

[@AlisonMeiMei]

i can’t believe it’s already classroom setup season AHH

[@abubblyclassroom]

RIGHT?! It snuck up on my quiicckkkkkkk

[@SKuhn]

Tips for putting up the unlock if you don’t have a white board? Since it’s interactive I’m unsure what to do. Also do they ever have issues with the things in the packet? How do you make it easier if they need it? I’m assuming you don’t start this day one so you can see their levels?

[@abubblyclassroom]

They do have a digital version included, but I have never tried it! If you don't want to display it digitally, you can just print out the digital game board for each student to keep and check off as they complete?

[@robincrowley301]

My admin came by at different times with a cart with different things. Once it was cold drinks like tea, water, soda next it was chip type food. We had donuts, fruits trays, coffee, ice-cream all kinds of stuff.

[@dianeostlin7632]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the colorful flowers? Did you make them or purchase them?

[@barbarabarnes264]

I would love to know too. I have the perfect spot for them in my room. Anybody?

For being recognized They could make food for you guys that is what our school does we spent a week on making food and the last day of that week the teachers go and get the food

[@sandrabuchheit4383]

Your math review for the kids on your whiteboard? Who is that by?😉

[@shekinahterry813]

How did you do your headers for your room and your quote? For example the word leadership over your board doesn't look like printer paper. How did you do that?

[@abubblyclassroom]

I just printed them in black on paper, laminated the paper, and cut the words out! I have a Cricut, but sometimes it is just easier to print, laminate, and cut!

[@shekinahterry813]

Wow! I would have never guessed. They're perfect. Thank you 😊

[@cromano4]

Can you explain what a team meeting is and how you introduce and guide the kids in their teams?

[@abubblyclassroom]

A team meeting is just when all the students on each team meet for about 5 minutes to decide how they want to share the jobs for the upcoming week/weeks! At the beginning I have each team come to the carpet while the rest of the class watches, and I guide them through how to problem solve if more than one student wants a job and to make sure it works for everyone!

[@cromano4]

What are the different teams you divide the jobs into?

[@jaimelarson9318]

Do you sell your 7 Habit posters? Our school is starting Leader in Me the next year.

[@claredavis5960]

We got a pass to get out of lunch or bus/car duty.

[@sandrabuchheit4383]

Where did you get your “Ask 3 before me “ crown!😬

[@memye288]

How long of a summer break do you actually get? I know all schools and positions are different, so I'm just curious!

[@abubblyclassroom]

May 27th was our last day, and August 1st is my first day back. So 9 weeks? Woah that sounds like so much more than it feels!

[@Courtnos302]

Hiiiiii! 🤗🤗🤗

[@ahoy_elementary7826]

My school had a masseuse come and people watched our classes while we got a 10 minute massage in the teacher lounge.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Oh my gosh people at my old school said they did this once! That sounds AMAZINNGGGG

[@jordynrandall3689]

Why won’t the video play for me? :(

[@jordynrandall3689]

YAY!!! It’s working now (: we missed you!

[@abubblyclassroom]

So glad it started working!!! 🤗🤗

[@lilybeckworth1790]

As a former custodian who worked during the summer if you have anything that is not on wheels please make sure you empty it ot make sure it's on wheels. Some people don't care and will just throw things around while might not be the case with your desk because most people put them on dollys on there side for easier transport without thinking.

[@abubblyclassroom]

I think that is exactly what happened! Will definitely empty it from now on!! 🤪

[@lisajarusiewicz4732]

Enjoy watching your “set up” videos! However, please try to be more mindful of those who are teaching off of carts, in closets, trailers etc. To complain about a torn paper crown and minimal damage is off putting. Your room is beautiful, full of light, free of rodents, warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s warm. Many don’t have the luxury of these first world amenities/privileges.
