Yeah, it makes me excited to go to school

[@trinitytowler5458]

as a teachers kid i have to help with this nearly every year and i feel awful because i’ve kinda grown to hate it. watching this is honestly helping me hate it less because it’s an honest look into the pure excitement of a teacher that still cares and really made me realize some of my moms madness. thank you

[@preppy4lifer1]

My mom is a kindergarten teacher so she goes full out I understand you completely!!!!

[@ritakelsey4606]

I taught for 40 years and this brings me right back to my first classroom of my own. Back to school was always the best time, I hope you have as wonderful a career as I did. Always remember that your students will look to you for security and support, sometimes the days lesson is not as important as reassuring a scared child. Have a wonderful time!! I'm going to subscribe so I can follow your journey.

Wow! I’ve been teaching for 17 years and I love to see new excited teachers like you. We need more good ones! Also, your principal sounds super supportive. Best of luck to you on this journey❤️

[@Picklementary]

OH MY GOSH!!! Listening to you share about your room reminded me SO MUCH of myself in my first room! The previous teacher left so many things, and I felt so overwhelmed!! I ended up putting it all into one cabinet that I basically ignored all year. Hahaha! Great minds think alike! :)

[@exiebebe]

This video just popped up on my feed today as I've finished up my summer classes recently. I'm studying to be an art teacher and aiming to teach in high school and get nervous thinking of the day I'll graduate and get the job of my dreams and my own classroom. Videos like these make me even more excited to finally graduate. Good luck with everything for your first year and many more to come

About to sign my first contract as a new teacher tomorrow for middle school, and I cannot wait to get the keys to my classroom and start moving stuff in!! Congrats to you! Take care and Good Luck!

[@babyhoneyx]

Hi! I love classroom set up videos, & this is my first time watching you! I do have a suggestion for the cubby. Put crates in them as a spot to keep classroom notebooks, or shared craft supplies so they are easily accessible but not cluttering space then decorate every other one with books/plushies for whatever season/holiday you're in!

[@jeannelle_]

Omg can’t believe it’s finally here!!! Found you when you were in the beginning of student teaching and AHHH so pumped for you!! ✨🎉

Keep the storage unit! You can use it for manipulatives, supplies, baskets for literally endless things LOL. I had a similar shelf in my room and I used it to store my math games and manipulates.

First time seeing this video idea, I LOVE IT

[@darkmoon3518]

I'm a 4th grader too and I love watching these videos

[@owleyes71]

You will learn almost ALL teachers leave crap behind - so pretty much no matter where you go, unless it's a brand new school classroom, there will be leftover stuff for you to deal with. Sometimes it's useful - sometimes the previous teachers gets in touch and tells you to look through it and let them know if you wanted any of it -and sometimes, they just PEACE OUT. Much to the annoyance of the new teacher and the principal haha.

the fact that I’m a 11th that likes to watch classroom set ups is unusual I don’t think anyone my age an my graded watches this but I guess because I want to be (well plan ) a teacher .

[@frecklesholland]

I’m in 11th grade to and I just really enjoy these types of videos. I watch a couple other channels too because I enjoy seeing the different ways teachers have their classrooms. It’s so sad that all these teachers have such beautiful classroom to engage students but all the classrooms I learn in are so dull and boring. I wish high school teachers could do this. (though I understand that it is very expensive and time consuming)

How does your elementary school work? As you said you only teach writing, do they switch classes throughout the day like middle and high school? Just curious, cause that’s super different!

[@BrittniNicole]

When I was in elementary school, starting fifth grade (not fourth like her) we rotated between three teachers and each teacher taught two subjects. The goal was to help us make the transition into middle school. Like packing our things and getting to and from class in the allotted time, etc…

[@emilyinthemiddle3119]

yes it’s like that!! they switch 3 times since there are 3 of us teaching. the goal is to somewhat prepare them for middle school!

Those LED lights could make it really hard for kids to focus or to actually see the board, especially kids who have glasses or other vision problems. I know my sister I would not be able to read anything on the board with those on due to our vision and my ADHD. You might want to consider moving them to another place in the room that the kids won’t be looking at for long periods of time.

[@emilyinthemiddle3119]

they won’t be on during instruction time!☺️ and i added burlap to help with the harshness as well
