Hi!!! I am a first year, 2nd grade teacher at a Title 1 in Texas!!! I left my 10 year career in the medical field when my youngest started kinder in order to have more time with my family!!! (My hubby is a HS teacher and coach) I started as a para and fell in love with education and felt God calling me into a classroom of my own, so I started my teaching journey through alternative certification. I am so excited for my first year and to see how God is going to use me in and through this new journey!!!! 🎉✏️💜

First off I cannot believe it's been 7 years! I remember when you were getting married and now you've got 3 kids! Second - I am always surprised when teachers are able to set up their rooms right after 4th of July! We don't even get out until June 20 something and then our school has summer school in it, so I don't set up my room until the end of August and am crazy focused to get it all done in a full day (10 hours). Anyone else the same?

I am a middle school treasurer in North Carolina. I just moved offices last week/this week and I totally pre-planned my move. 🤣 I went into my AP's office because she came up to the front office with our new principal, so I took pictures & measurements of her office before the move and really planned out how to lay out the space. I still need to tackle my huge BB after a trip to HL to get backing & border then order a small chair & table since I have the space. I also have a door now so I am excited to decorate that! They need to take down some of the BB in the middle & mount the promethium on the wall. All of ours are mounted and it saves so much space.

I just completed a 3/4 combo this past year! It was tough but manageable & made it through! I only had 5 3rd graders so I relied on my small group table for them it was awesome!

Love watching your videos!! At my school we run 2 “teacher” classrooms one as the lead and one as a “teaching partner” they are certified teachers and or working to get certification that we sort of train to take on lead roles as they open in our school. With that model everything is mostly run in rotations/small group (guided math/ skills block) and they take on half the kiddos. We love this model at our school but what I was going to really share that could work for you with your aid and space is using your small group table as your desk. We do t have teacher “desk”. Our small group tables are our desks. They are positioned at opposite ends of the space because we tech at the same time and store/organize all our own supplies behind us on shelves or drawers. Could be an idea for you!

Biggest TV for a class i have ever seen in my life! ❤ Perhaps in future, use a folding white screen & projector instead, so that corner/space where the TV is can be utilised for plants etc. I said perhaps, cos not sure about your school budget to replace TVs with more minimalist set up (but still cost lots of $). ❤

Do you use something to communicate daily with parents, or just on an as needed basis?
@EarlyEDventures3 ай бұрын
I only communicate on an as need basis. I have found the longer I taught that a lot of those daily things took up way too much precious time, so I simplified. I also personally don't align with the flip cards/clip chart type behavior management! I have found it to do more harm than good
