Meet the Teacher Prep Vlog coming out tomorrow 🫶🏻

[@luxteacher]

Can't wait! New subbie. Please let me know where I can get your library sofa. Keep up the amazing work! I'm a veteran teacher and I always learn something new from you. Thanks for all you do!

[@sydneysanders7529]

Mayleen, I'm a second year, first grade teacher and you inspire me so much!

[@DeeDeeDIY]

I am a homeschooling grandmother. First, I homeschooled my kids, who are older than you. Now, I am homeschooling my grandson, who is in 4th and my granddaughter, who is in K. During covid, I also had 2 other grandkids, nearly the same ages. I want to tell you I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I love your thoughts, ideas, and teaching style. Some observations, I do like a desk for my grandkids. We do have a lot of flex seating, but in our home, I find I get better work when they sit at a desk. The easiest flex seating for us is the lap desk. I will let my grandson use it. We also do reading on the couches. Of course, my situation is way different than yours. There is just something about having a space that is one's own and is off limits to anyone else. I guess I'm the problem because that's me, i want my own little space. Lolol😂 I love your Word Collector story/dictionary. Our curriculum does something similar for vocabulary, but I find the printed booklet that we build is too small. That is easily fixable. Would you do a video when you introduce yours? It would be fun to compare. We do not use the story, so I think I might find it to read to them before we start our next vocabulary booklet. 🤔 I love that you add plants to your classroom. Sweet and homey. We have an orchid in ours, and I'm thinking 🤔 about growing carrots indoors this year. I'm a rock, fossil, mineral, seashell, and sand specimen collector, so we do have those in our classroom also. Your attention to detail makes my organizational heart smile. Your labels are legendary. Thanks for sharing your teacher journey with us all in KZbin land. 😊

[@marycarmen30]

Quick tip, maybe a legal paper size folder for those bigger projects to be able to keep their shape longer 😊

[@WorkingTowardsImprovement]

I hope my son gets a 1st grade teacher as passionate as you this year! K was really discouraging for him and I struggled get him there because he hated it 😕 loving your videos even though I’m not a teacher lol

[@teresavansant820]

I love that you don’t have to move and we get to see more of the BTS prep! Have a wonderful year!!

[@kri1029sings]

I decided to go study to be a teacher ❤ your videos inspired me all year!! Its a come back to school for me, but i couldnt be more excited!!

[@chargalbreth3052]

My niece will be a first year teacher in kindergarten this year. Her Mom & I are going to help her set up the first time, so you and a few other teachers have been my go-to for ideas. 😊😊😊

[@shelbyblattner7658]

I have been here for all 5 room set ups! My first video ever from you was your first room set up, so glad you get to spend another year at your current school. You seem so happy and comfortable there❤

[@juliequezada7504]

I would love to see how you teach your drawing/illustration unit for the beginning of the year if you are able to share. ☺ Thank you so much for all that you share. These videos are so helpful!

[@emilyclark8772]

Those repetitive prep tasks are always fun for me too!!

[@nikkifx]

Love your Vegas golden knights tshirt!

[@debbiekraft196]

I’ve been following you for a couple years. I’ve been teaching for nearly 20 years. This year I’m teaching a combo K-1 class. I’m so grateful for your videos, especially your K-1 year. There isn’t much info about split classes out there. I’ve learned so much from watching you. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤

[@lauriewilliams8336]

I've watched your videos from the beginning of your career. I'm so glad you got yo stay in your room. Life is so much easier in the same room. Looking great!

[@primaryadventuressnow]

I am a second-year combo teacher. Last year I taught K1 and this next fall I am teaching grades 1 and 2. I really love all of the flexible seating choices that you have! I teach in a Montessori and we do a lot of work on the floor and we honestly don't even have desks! But I never really considered low tables and seats like you have so I will have to look into that! I really love your classroom feel-MN girl here so camping is our jam around here!!!

[@katyr7513]

I have some students who like 2 stand at times. You r not alone.😉

[@Striktmachine]

I've loved watching your videos through the summer for some inspiration. Have a great school year!

[@christinecallipari4275]

Hi. I absolutely love your room and am happy that you get to stay! For you drawing binder, get a legal sized binder. You won’t necessarily have to fold anything.

[@laurahdez0309]

I’m not really one to always watch all videos from a specific vlogger! But I love the energy you put into your work you’re super blessed to work where you’re at and I’m obsessed watching ur vids you seem like a really cool person…I started out subbing all last year after working in the retail industry for so long and this year I’ll be working as a K/1 instructional assistant position for the comprehensive resource teacher and that should be fun I love the littles cus they’re always so sweet they melt my heart 😊 I’m super excited!! Thank you for all you do!

[@animecookies8784]

I'm excited for my 2nd year of teaching first grade. Also here in Las Vegas. My classroom is Pokemon theme with a lot of the decorations made by me. So I'm still partially still a new teacher and always love gathering some of your helpful ideas.

[@stephaniebarkman5488]

I am new to your channel!!❤I have taken so many notes, purchased so many of your suggestions 🤗 I’m following you on TikTok and instagram 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You have inspired me after 25 years and I’m teaching a K/1 this year!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thanks for being here!!!! So so so happy to help! Have the best year, hopefully we can chat more :)

[@faithledteaching1259]

I’ve been watching you since the beginning! I’m a fourth year public school teacher in Texas and this will be my second year in Pre-K. I have moved grades and classrooms every year so I’m excited to stay in my classroom this year. 😂 you’re amazing, thanks for sharing all the things! ❤

[@faithledteaching1259]

I forgot to add- you always inspire me and I copy so many of your ideas- I give you credit in my videos though! 😅

[@Lucky_kit6052]

I love getting my class list. I have been checking every day since mid July and yesterday I finally got it so I started adding names.

[@jaytee419]

Really enjoying these vlogs!

[@azussamatsuoka22]

Love your videos!! Have a great new school year!!❤

[@Earlyyearsinthebluffs]

I have watched every single classroom set up you have done and I love everyone of them and look forward to them because I get sooo many ideas from you…… I have missed your vlogs but I have been catching up slowly…. Thank you soooo much for your Inspiration and excitement over teaching… 😍

[@chargalbreth3052]

Get an art portfolio to put your larger directed drawings in. 😊

[@didibearyt]

Yay I love this! You’re an amazing teacher! I teach kínder and I have so many of the things you have in your classroom like smart cookies and the fairy hand plate! Sending love 💜

[@shellideckert4735]

Thank you!! Love the number system! ☺️

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Nice space to the room and you've got really good order to it all which gives me ideas so bless!

[@ReadWriteandShine]

Been here for all the classroom setups 🥰

[@emilybaker6486]

I also love a repetitive task! 💗🌈

[@reyescecilia16]

I feel the same way about HMH, we have access to it online but I haven't really unpacked it. I am dreading starting a new Reading and Writing curriculum again. (NYC)

[@graceelizabeth130]

Your classroom is HUGEEEE compared to ours in the UK

[@_ch_0619_]

Aw I wish I had HMH again, I really liked it!

[@katyr7513]

Yesssss!!!! Me 2!!🥰

[@leighamontgomery981]

Laughing so hard at people criticizing you for the “standing table.” Standing is healthier than sitting all day 😅😭 I also love repetitive tasks, but I rarely do that stuff myself anymore: I have 3 aids (sounds luxurious BUT I teach kids with complex disabilities so it’s just a necessity)…the aids get to do all the soothing repetitive stuff!

[@animecookies8784]

Yes and no with the idea of, "standing being healthier than sitting all day." You certainly do not want to stand almost all day because that can be bad for your health. You want to balance both with of course standing a little more and getting movement.

[@madisonmarro7594]

I love your carpet!! Could you send me a link to it because I would love to have it in my classroom?

[@meghannscheetz520]

Morning! I LOVE your channel and have been following you for the past few years! I teach K in PA (year 24!) Would it be possible for you to share the pictures you took of all your Primary Scout posters? I started doing these weekly in my K class last year but used a pocket chart and I'd like to arrange them on posters and laminate them so we can write on them together. I'm not sure if you could post them on IG or make a video showing all of them- or maybe on your TPT store, etc. Thanks so much!

[@alicepackard5207]

I love watching your videos! Thank you for all of your amazing content! Have you decided what math curriculum you will do this year?

[@MrsCallsCampers]

we have envisions lol

[@katyr7513]

Maybe u could save ur completed art projects in a file folder.

[@milliecaruso2041]

I love your videos! Quick question: what do you use those white binders for? Are they homework binders? Thank you 😊

[@madelineheeter7880]

Link for your rug? ❤ also what kinds is things have you gotten for donors choose… I’ve never done one before?

[@elsavalerio6851]

On a different note. I bought a rime magic kit. Do you have a video on how to start it. I know it might come with instructions but I prefer visual rather then read and learn how to use it.

[@keylacortez1]

Hi!!!!! Your room looks great. Amazing teacher. Do you think that you can talk about the decodable books from hello decodable How do you using? I am going to teach kindergarten this coming year. I never teach Kindergarten and I need a lot of tips if you can because I know that you taught kindergarten before. I would love to use the bee binder take home folder for homework

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Decodable book video coming this weekend@@ Thank you for watching!

[@thewalterfam2223]

Where do you get your writing crafts?

[@dmbalsam]

Retired after 32 years as library media specialist grade PK-8.

[@RachaelLyn]

I need more plants in my classroom! But I'm afraid I will kill them.
