Classroom Setup Part 4 | Lighting, Lighting, and MORE Lighting | High School Classroom

[@audreyjepson1598]

The lighting is amazing most teachers dont understand that kids have light sensitivity too! I am a senior in HS and lloking into being a teacher! you are definalty a HUGE role model!!!

[@mekiahh364]

i’m about to be a sophomore and no teacher at my school has a classroom that looks like this. and i wish they did, it would feel a lot more comfortable and warm/mellow. love your room!

[@katherinefotopoulos9244]

I love this! I remember as a student the lights use to bother me so much and I appreciated all the teachers who put christmas lights and lamps in their rooms instead. I know I will be doing this too when I'm a teacher

[@SuperClover12]

This is literally my dream classroom!! I can’t stand the fluorescent lights either. I have several lamps around the room and keep my windows open, so I’m hoping that will be enough. I’m a first year teacher, so aspire to have a room like yours!!!

[@rockerchick730]

Just checking, are you still teaching?

[@ericatisdale4841]

I would have lovedd to have you as a teacher when I was in school! I became homeschooled because of horrible anxiety and I think a cozy classroom like this would have helped me so much.

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Wow!! This is awesome! Yes, some people have that sensitivity to fluorescent lights, so this lighting is a great alternative. The lights around the white boards look so pretty! Look at the lights in the mason jar! Ahhh!! 🤗 Looks warm and inviting. Your students will love to be in that space. Beautiful! 😊❤️

[@daniellelevy8056]

Omg I love your classroom! I’m in college now, but I know in my high school a lot of the teachers would bring in lamps and string lights instead of using the overheads and it was always so great. It was nice because it was like a break for your eyes. Those were always the most welcoming classrooms and the ones that students would always want to be in. The desk lamps are genius! I’ve never seen that before but that’s super great for students who want/need a little bit more light! Overall I love the look of your classroom and I would DIE to have been in there when I was in high school!

[@madelineflores192]

I'm in college but seeing this room makes me want to back to high school. It's very obvious how much thought went into this room. You are wonderful!

[@leahsummers3894]

I LOVE it in my opinion its the definition of BEAUTIFUL

[@laurenwarner1014]

You’re classroom is my happy place! Unfortunately I’m not allowed to do ANY of it in my district. I’ll just enjoy it through your channel! 😉 Your kids are going to have such a sanctuary throughout their day by coming to class here with you!

[@birdee18]

I love this so much! It’s so warm and inviting! I also love the shiplap paper on the wall.

[@ashleygunn5176]

Love your videos. One of my favorite thing about your room is your book shelf.

[@melodihenry3345]

Phenomenal! You’re a teacher after my own heart!!!! Working on lighting in my classroom this week and you just truly helped clarify my vision!

[@CheerLovaa]

that lighting is an interesting choice for students on the autism spectrum, the child I work with stims off of light and love to play with lights and likes to be in the dark but stims when he’s in the dark... hopefully it works well for your children

[@lakinbassler5118]

I think if you have problems with lighting (as it being to dark for the students to see) you could purchase those lights that look like a light switch, but the whole thing lights up. You could place them on the desks, so if your students would need more lighting they could turn them on (and not bother you about it being too dark). They might be a problem for the students though if they try to play with them.

[@Doodlethirthys702]

Lighting is EVERYTHING for me! It can determine the way my day goes so this is amazing!

[@StevenandStefanie]

The lightening is very relaxing and I'd think a relaxing classroom = relaxed kids

[@ArtJourneyUK]

AtheistVlogger ...not too relaxed hopefully. You want engaged and alert for learning, not chill and sleepy lol

[@elizabethsparks1764]

Your room is gorgeous! I wish I could do the same but our Fire Marshall would have a massive heart attack. We can have nothing hanging from the ceiling and only a certain percentage of the walls can have paper/posters, etc.

[@ArtJourneyUK]

Elizabeth Sparks ...same! Plus all electrical appliances have to be PAT tested and we can’t use trailing extension cables.

[@aracelireyes414]

This video is extremely helpful, thank you.

[@hannahroznowski]

Omg your classroom is sooo cute and cozy!

[@gigikean6003]

It’s gorgeous. My district doesn’t allow us to hang anything from the ceiling NOR twinkle lights. Do you have any recommendations for people with similar restrictions to mine?

[@caitlynt2609]

You are going to be favourite teacher that’s for sure

[@SweetDesignzz]

Wowwwww it's amazing. It amazing, u did a great job. I'm sure students are going to love learning in that room

[@hollyhulewat8705]

OMG Stealing these lighting ideas for my middle school ELA classroom! 😍

[@madsbackup6947]

I love the room! But I feel like I would get sleepy 😕 but anyways I LOVE THE ROOM!

[@jonathaniler]

I really like the battery powered table lamps. I haven't seen them at our Target Dollar Spot. Room looks great!

[@Julian_The_techie]

I bet you’re the coolest teacher in that school

[@A91-143]

Your room is looking so beautiful! #goals. Your subscribers are growing too. When I subbed there were only like 1,000 subs. 👏👏

[@emmaleecrick2674]

Wow ok your channel is like my new favorite thing😭❤️

[@keepingitreal1560]

I hope the fire marshal will allow your lights. It looks so cool, but usually nothing can touch the ceiling. It usually has to be 18” from the ceiling. You could just drop them down if they have a problem. I love all your wood like paper on the walls too.

[@kkmomma09]

Your room looks amazing!!! Great job!

[@abbyrauch1781]

Will you please do a classroom tour when you’re done

[@debbieleyva]

This is totally cool but would never in a million years pass the fire inspection at my school due to all the cords. I don’t use the fluorescent lights either because they really bug kids on the spectrum. Luckily, every classroom in our school has huge windows and I need very little additional lighting, even in winter. But I do have some standing lamps and table lamps, more for the coziness than the actual light. It’s amazing how many students really appreciate not having the fluorescents on! Kids on the spectrum, kids who get migraines or just headaches, and kids who just don’t like bright lighting!

[@SimplySteph99]

LOVE the lights!

[@kaylees.3375]

Too bad they cant make the light cord part black or clear theyre always that dark green color.

[@aliciahudgins9100]

Our school doesn’t allow lamps or extra lights that aren’t battery operated. And everything has to be two feet from the ceiling.

[@emf3034]

I wish my teachers tried to make their classrooms look this good but unfortunately not every one is like her your classroom is seriously beautiful

[@leannajenkins7396]

I’m in high school and I would think this would be the most coziest work environment ever I have trouble in classrooms with light being to bright or to dark or comfort and space to move your an amazing teacher for combining all that into one

[@SweetDee101]

I made a comment on another one of your videos about how you didn't mean to your twinkle lights but I see why it's a whole separate video thank you

[@roselightz_3027]

This looks so pretty! But I don't think I coul work with that lighting. It looks way to dark for me, even with those table lamps^^

[@courtneymartin7780]

This is so great! I'm hoping the lighting in my room won't be horrible (I haven't seen my classroom yet!) but if it is I'll definitely be doing something like this!!

[@shannonlee808]

Just a thought, what about using zipties to connect them to the metal pieces of your ceiling? That way if they need to come off, you can just cut them but they're more secure than clothespins?

[@britbudd7148]

Looks AMAZING!!!!! #classroomgoals GREAT JOB!!!!! Sharing this with my class roommates.

[@squerky]

Can you share with me, where and how you did the corners of your room? The wall -paper? or is it like sticky vinyl?

[@ImMo1256]

So I love this, but my old school wouldn’t let us hang things from the ceiling or have posters sighing like x amount of inches. I’m moving to a new school this year and I will ask but have you had any issues with the fire marshall now that the year is over?

[@alainar6877]

Love the lights i wish my teacher’s rooms would have looked like that

[@kaylees.3375]

I wonder if the parents or your school is going to think its a fire hazard with all of those lights and cords all over.

[@rebeccatyndall788]

Kaylee Shares I thought the same thing-my district wouldn’t allow it. But it’s GORGEOUS!

[@TheCaffeinatedClassroom]

Yeah, I’m betting in the end I’ll have to take at least some of it down for that very reason, so I’m glad I used clothes pins- easy to just pop off!

[@mikeshardly]

Today's Christmas lights aren't really a fire hazard. They require very low voltage and don't get hot, so as long as they aren't damaged they are suuppper safe. So I would definitely push back against that concern if it's brought up

[@ayeishahjackson487]

It doesnt look like there is any cords where they can trip over

[@leahesker5973]

Where did you get that white bulletin board paper with the random letters? It’s so cute! Also, do you plug the surge protectors into those remote outlets? (Sorry if I missed a detail!)

[@TheCaffeinatedClassroom]

LEAH ESKER Hi!! The white with letters is actually fabric that I got years ago from fabric.com... I did plug surge protectors into the remote outlets since the power being used by the lights is super low 😉

[@jolenekwasnitza3099]

I came to this video a year out from its publishing date. I have watched a number of your videos and was going to ask about differentiation AND then you mentioned you high needs cohort. Did you do any videos about that experience or what you did for those students? I am a Spec Ed teacher so I am always on the hunt for ideas especially around literacy (I am a math science teacher). Also, I have been selected by my district to be part of an assessment working group. I am representing Spec Ed. What I want to do is create resources that support and bolster Gen. Ed. teacher confidence around assessment. Your collaboration for this cohort would be a great experience to learn about.

[@diannaq5762]

I love it... Our fire marshal would not allow something like that. We can not even have curtains in our rooms.

[@caroline.t8045]

I’m going into high school this year and tomorrow morning i pick my schedule up but my summer basically ended I just started driving school and I’ve been helping out with band camp

[@aainabasketball2010]

you should be an electrical!! hahaha!! your room looks gorgeous!

[@tarrahdodge2422]

Love it

[@rockerchick730]

In Texas we are not allowed to HANG ANYTHING WITHIN 24 INCHES FROM THE CEILING DUE TO FIRE ISSUES. Where aree you?

[@tinarey9657]

💖💖💖💖 loves ur #LUMIy lightblade lamp 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@ArtJourneyUK]

Seems really dark, I’d struggle to read in that level of brightness. TBH I’d probably struggle to stay awake too with such subdued lighting! 😴🤣

[@randomgirlrandomthings8573]

I want to be in a classroom like that.

[@yellowroseoftexas73]

With all that natural light why mess with so many cords.

[@SarrahElizabeth]

You should look into “hygge” because this is totally hygge!!

[@rachelward7738]

Would you say it is very inappropriate for students to call their teacher Mrs/Mr whatever their first name. For example, my name is Rachel and possibly my students would call me Ms Rachel.

[@aracelireyes414]

What do you want to be called? Have you call you that.

[@debrawebber4792]

It looks pretty dark. That's a lot of extra electricity and unplugging so many cords at the end of the day.

[@jasonguyan-bn4mx]

You're not supposed to have anything hanging from your ceiling, per fire code

[@iirmv901]

Ok can u be my teacher pls

[@aly9652]

iirmv same hereee, but I graduated this year. 😂 I’ve had a few teachers that put lights up... but their rooms weren’t nearly as aesthetically pleasing or cozy.

[@gotoguru736]

Hhoollly crap. Never thought id meet someone else who gets migraines from florescent lighting among other things

[@mariacollins439]

those lights always give me really bad headaches

[@mikesnider2582]

OMG this is such a fire hazzard. These lights are not rated for schools. Please do not put kids at risk using cheap lights to decorate a classroom.
