CLASSROOM SETUP DAY 1 | high school art teacher at new school + classroom tour

[@TsunamiKitten56]

Every part of my body wants to organize and clean those storage units 🤣 I love the room, very big and unique with the black wall and ceiling tiles. When I was in middle school they had ceiling tiles of old artwork and it was beautiful!

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Right!?! It's been pretty overwhelming going through everything, as you'll see in the next vlog! I'm in love with the room too though, so unique and has so much potential! I love the idea of the ceiling tiles, such a neat way to showcase student work!

[@jaune-soleil]

Find what you need and you’ll see what kids love organizing. They’re really helpful and you can give them hours. It will be done before winter break and you won’t need to stress about it.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Such a good idea Jaune, and a great way to instill responsibility with the students!

[@PrintPraySlay]

Oh my that closet! There is a lot of space in there. That is awesome! It kinda gave me anxiety but once it's organized it will be wonderful.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

ME TOO!! The space is amazing, but it was very overwhelming at first. Can't wait to show y'all how I organized it this Thursday!

[@PrintPraySlay]

@@ashtonelizabeth oh you are finished! I will tune in to see it. My classroom is so small. That is why I went with the farmhouse cozy look to it. I just posted my final classroom video today! I am so happy with the room. I will check back on your channel Thursday to see yours.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Thank you so much for being a part of this! I love the modern farmhouse style so much. I would've done that if I wasn't moving and buying so much decor for our new house 🤣 I will definitely check yours out!!

[@PrintPraySlay]

@@ashtonelizabeth I understand and thanks for watching. Let me know what you think please!

[@ashtonelizabeth]

I've watched all your classroom setup videos. I'm invested now! 🤗

[@sistascientist237]

What a fun ceiling!!! Use that closing cabinet that is in the room for art storage. I remember (20 years ago) in Art 1 when a student from another class stole my work and ruined it as their own. And I had the issue of kids stealing notebooks from the bins.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Oh no, i'm so sorry that happened to you! The thought didn't even cross my mind. I will definitely think of a way to make sure student's work is secure! Thank you for the advice!

[@mrscarmicalclassroom]

It is so fascinating seeing all the supplies! Excited to watch more of your videos.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Haha there are so many!! I’m so glad that I decided to go through everything so I didn’t waste money on ordering the same supplies! Thank you so much for stopping by ❤️

[@RebeccaAutry]

I am so excited for you. You have lots of great stuff to go through.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Thank you so much Rebecca! You are so right, so much great stuff to go through. I found so many hidden gems too! I will definitely have them included in the next video.

[@carolannequine5025]

I would make the small storage room student art work with shelves. The bigger room would be easier to organize and keep things organized for supplies and books.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

Carolann, I actually thought about that too when I was cleaning out the shelving in the smaller room! You’ve convinced me to do it!!

[@elizabethabaya4435]

Keep the old hardcover books to make altered books. It's a great project and if you plan it right, you can have your students work on spreads within the altered book for an entire grading quarter. I always looked forward to the altered book project when I taught art.

[@ashtonelizabeth]

That is such a great idea Elizabeth!! I didn't even think about that. Did you teach high school art?

[@elizabethabaya4435]

@@ashtonelizabeth Yes, I mainly teach graphic design now.

[@Diet_Martini]

Wow you do amazing thumbnails I’m invested now

[@ashtonelizabeth]

You're so sweet! Thank you ❤️

[@dralbertpakin8895]

I always put my tables in a u shape then that way I can teach from the middle and less talking to each other as well.

[@ExploreWithShrutiDxb]
