Classroom Setup Day 1 | Middle School ELA & Science

[@jonah1854]

Thank you for posting this! I am no teacher yet, I am only 13, but I know that secondary education is what I’m going into for college, and I love watching school teacher vlogs to see the “inside scoop.” Thanks a bunch!

[@rosacota8185]

Just a friendly tip: if you have a cricut you can save your powerpoint slides as a jpeg. Then, upload to cricut as a print then cut, print, laminate and then use your cricut to cut :) *keep in mind the actual printing space will be minimized a bit due to the cricut margins*

[@jess_8ch]

I wish I had a cricut!! 😭😭

[@patriciagallop2551]

I love teaching ready and science together. The scientific method and the writing process go hand in hand. Have a great year!

[@TeachingNaturall]

Love your classroom theme! Definitely saw some resources I’m going to incorporate into my high school English classroom. ❤

[@jess_8ch]

Hope you have a great year! ❤️

[@gabriellechoquette5662]

I would love my Juno to be fixed onto the wall like that!

[@breeunabashedly]

Will be a first year 6th grade ELAR teacher, so Happy I found your channel. There is a lot of amazing elementary content on here but it’s such a breath of fresh air finding middle school teachers🩵

[@jess_8ch]

I switched to middle from elementary!! The best thing I ever did for myself ❤

[@averyrees7333]

I'm a first year teacher that will be using notice and note. I really like it so far!

[@JessalynRevelle]

Middle school science and STEM teacher here!! It’s so great to see another middle school teacher. ❤️

[@jess_8ch]

Middle is the best!! ❤

[@hiiiiiimegan]

I’ve been looking for a 6th grade/middle school classroom set up! I feel like they’re all elementary which is different than middle school lol

[@tomekawinston3801]

Very nice setup! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@jaydel3]

that grading scale is frowned upon now. The new wave in most of the US is mastering learning or equitable grading. We will see how that goes as it has pros and cons.

[@jess_8ch]

Yeah, unfortunately we don’t get much say!! Would love to see how that goes and wouldn’t mind trying something new!

[@henryprokop9170]

I just found yot channel, I teach 5th grade(all subjects) but ELA and Science(as well as religion(teach in a Catholic School). Loking forward to following you. Alicia from CT

[@jess_8ch]

Thanks for following along! I hope you have a great summer and school year!

[@aaliyahmarie62]

I just discovered your channel and im obsessed!! Your vibe, your classroom, everything is so cute. 🥰💓

[@jess_8ch]

Awh thank you so much! ❤️

[@nathanowen4226]

Hello, this is Nathan and you do a great job on your videos

[@mackenzieblue5473]

Hi, this will be my first year teaching! I have never seen the hot glue gun trick for hanging things on the wall. Will it pull the paint off when I go to take it down at the end of the year? I assume not, but just wanted to confirm before I started hot gluing things! Also, I have never seen the matte spray paint trick. Thanks for sharing!

[@theteachingromance]

This is already such a nice classroom. I am going to be a teacher in Germany next year. Finally. So these type of videos really motivate me to keep on studying for my teaching exams this fall. I am just a bit confuses about the grading system you use, isn’t that a big jump from an F to the others?

[@jess_8ch]

Glad it was helpful! Keep pushing, it’s challenging but so worth it if you find the right fit for you. And basically anything below a 60 is failing (F). They can get below 50 on their classwork throughout the quarter but their final grade can’t be lower than a 50. In that case, which isn’t often, we would just put a note that the students actual average was below a 50! Either way they get an F 🤷‍♀️ it is kinda weird!

[@theteachingromance]

@@jess_8ch Thank you, I will. Teaching and coming up with lessons is my passion. Though your grading system seems to be a little different to here in Germany. Generally, to pass one needs to get over the 40-45% bench mark (for languages). Though, the grades is given in numerical numbers from 1-6 (in some states it is more differentiated to 1.3, 1.5 etc too). It is also not the best and criticized every now and then.

[@sandibleiberg7627]

I just want to let you know in your 10 drawer cart with your missing work you have your science extras and ELA extras backwards so it doesn’t make the full leaf. Though I don’t really know if it bothers you. It’s looks amazing though!!

[@jess_8ch]

I would have never noticed!! Thank you 😂❤️

[@sandibleiberg7627]

You’re welcome!!!

[@stronger7995]

I had a bird fly in my classroom this year with my students! We freaked out, cleared the classroom and another teacher came to get it out😂😂😂 I feel you on the bird situation!

[@jess_8ch]

Omg I would cry

[@teachingwithmsct]

I also teach middles and I put all their birthdays into a Google Sheet to make sure I added them to my slides

[@jess_8ch]

That’s a good idea!! I feel so bad bc I lost track a little bit last year. They still always got a little candy on their birthday but I didn’t always remember to put on calendar!!

[@emilyarmas9911]

so much fun to watch! your skin is so glowy what's on it?

[@jess_8ch]

It was so dry so I had cerave healing ointment all over it 😂 but thank you!!

[@dianacuellar5344]

Where did you get your lanyard from? Your classroom is looking amazing!

[@jess_8ch]

Modern made company on Etsy!!

[@Paper_doll_girls]

I’m going to middle school after being home schooled for a year and I’m behind in math my school starts sometime next month or so bc I’m really scared and my mom got mad at me so do you have any tips for having a good relationship with your teachers?? (coming from a 5th going into 6th grader with social anxiety)

[@jess_8ch]

Be yourself! Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Take advantage of extra opportunities to get support (working lunches, clubs, study halls). Stay true to who you are and you will make true friends! You got this ❤️

[@thenoahshow6147]

Loving the size of your room! What state are you teaching in?

[@jess_8ch]

SC!

[@slimeasmr435]

Omg is it just me but like in school did in all your teachers come in will an extra large coffee? Ps love the new video, You go girl

[@antoniarojas3500]

Can you please show your Science alphabet? I'm a first year teacher and I will be teaching 6th grade Math and Science. I'm nervous, I'm not sure where to start. 😅

[@jess_8ch]

I’ll show it soon! Here is what it’s called on TPT: Science Alphabet Posters {Middle Level Science} by Ginger Snaps on Teachers Pay Teachers

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

Are you doing other Classroom video

[@jess_8ch]

I will be!!

[@Sevenarrowsacademy]

Proud wall?

[@jess_8ch]

Yes….proud of their work, or work that they are proud of. If they interpret it otherwise, I don’t care, as long as they feel seen, heard and loved in my room.
