First Grade Classroom Setup | Day 9 | We are SO Close!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

NEW SETUP VIDEOS! bit.ly/MCC2020setupplaylist

[@marysalcido7769]

I’m not even a teacher and I’m watching this😂

[@ameliaarnold9604]

I am not and teacher and nor want tot be but these videos are my guilty pleasure and I find them so satisfying!!!

[@carrasco1642]

I love watching you videos and I'm not even a teacher! Watched all your "set up" videos and love them! Your personality is everything!

[@JoifullyNatural]

I could tell this whole video that you were overwhelmed. You’re still as bubbly as ever, but once I get to the point you’re at and all the little things are left, I don’t want to do them. As others have said, it all doesn’t have to be done before school starts. Your students just need to know that you love them, and they will! 😘This year will be challenging, but so worth it. Enjoy every moment! 💖

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I DEFINITELY was. Wow even coming back to this video, I'm overwhelmed haha!

[@haiileyyy-9369]

I look forward to these videos way too much. I just love your personality!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

That's so so sweet!

[@deirdramcclure4420]

same

[@karaanastasia3996]

CONGRATS ON almost 20,000!!! So happy for you! Your classroom is really coming together!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you!

[@MissHuntGoesFourth]

Do your kiddos not have supply lists? I feel like you're buying/putting in everything in their pencil pouches that my kiddos bring with them!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I teach in a Title I school, and although we have supply lists, I know all kids won't bring everything. I got some things to help lighten the load and be able to have things throughout the year when we run out of their supplies

[@MissHuntGoesFourth]

Yes feel that 100%! I guess I do that too I just don't make the pouches for them I just have it in our supply closet and they can go get it when they need it (4th graders ;))

[@kyraerickson7517]

I'd love to see your lesson planning process. That's my biggest fear going into teaching...getting my lesson planning down.

[@aftonglynn]

Kyra Erickson agreed!!

[@ashleytilman6746]

I agree I am so afraid I can’t do it or it won’t be the best. I just don’t know what to expect ahhhh

[@barbidoll1548]

Some advice: store your markers and pens upside down so the tip doesn't dry out on you before the ink is all used up :)

[@jessicakelly6452]

I love that you said you just hit 10k and I look and you have 20k! Growing so fast! I’m not even a teacher I just love watching your videos! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Ayzria]

i literally don't know how i found you or why i started watching these videos but im so happy i did!! you are unbelievably sweet and i love how much you care about this classrom and the students that are going to be in it💖i look every day to see if you post a new video!!

[@yonasgf]

Ayzria Hi I watch your videos, and I honestly feel the same way about her. I don't even know how I got here

[@Ayzria]

aww haha thank y'all

[@averyklose8724]

OMG GIRL I LOVE YOUR VIDS

[@kritziaortiz3636]

In 2 days you’ve gained 12 thousand subs you definitely deserve it girly

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you so much :)

[@cheyennehall7609]

Kritzia Ortiz 9

[@briannaaudette6723]

As a future teacher who is still in college, you truly inspire and create so much excitement for me while watching your journey as a first year teacher. I am wondering where you got your leather apple watch band from, I absolutely love it!!!

[@brookea7522]

I’ve wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember...I’m 16 now and these videos get me so excited for being a teacher in the future! Love watching your channel!!!

[@alissathesinger]

I've never heard of supplying water bottles or pencil bags for them, but I'm really proud of how much you take into consideration. You've gone above and beyond and revived my dream of being a teacher

[@nataliebranco6209]

I’m literally a high school student but I’m still obsessed with this little series because I love interior design and seeing people decorate hahaha

[@beautifuldisasterr04]

i think it's so crazy you supply all these things for your kids! Water bottles, pencil pouches, everything like that. We always get a letter from my niece's teacher on registration day that tell us the school supplies we need to buy instead. Your dedication to making sure your kids have everything is already amazing!

[@isabelserra6255]

Would love to see a first day vlog and maybe a week update after your first week? Lots of love ❤️

[@jiminpark9175]

I’m not a teacher lol...I don’t really want to be a teacher either. But my mom is a teacher and it runs in my family. I see a lot of “behind the scenes” and it is absolutely drama and craziness! Goodluck! I subscribed because I love the idea of setting up my own classroom yet I want to be a scuba diver!

[@--jade--]

My first year teaching it took me 9 days to set up. So I'm interested to see where you are today.

[@esmeraldacarlos5900]

Your videos make want to be a teacher even more than I all ready did lol:)) you’re doing so great I wish I had a teacher like you when I was younger❤️

[@jenniferfoster7576]

You are doing a wonderful job. I love seeing all the stuff you are doing in your classroom. I am a preschool teacher and I want to do some stuff you have done in my classroom. You go girl getting on that number line up in a dress.

[@rcd2000]

You're room is so unique and awesome! I'd love to have a teacher like you and I can tell you're going to be a great one. ❤️

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you!!

[@shaniyalarbi2471]

Wow I’ve never had a teacher give out water bottles it’s amazing how you really take how you students would feel in any situation into consideration. Your gonna be a great teacher

[@meganemily8806]

I only found you today through these videos, not sure how I came across them but I’ve instantly fallen in love and I’ve watched all your classroom set up all day and I’ve literally waited for you to upload this day! I’m only 17 and I want to be a teacher when I’m older and honestly I hope if I am I can decorate and set up my classroom this way coz it is so aesthetically pleasing to see it all, I wish you all the luck within the next school year I only start back to college in September coz I’m from the UK but honestly these videos make me want to get organised so soon for the next academic year!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you girl! So happy you are here! Welcome to the family!

[@jillianzuch1899]

Right now I am only a junior in high school but I want to go into elementary education, I have watched many classroom setup videos and yours are by far my favorite, you don’t skip much of anything which is nice to see, like how much goes into being a teacher and having to set up a classroom for the school year. I love the theme and the carpets! Keep up the amazing work!

[@SatansFae]

Omg! I'm not a teacher, I don't have kids, but I LOVE watching your channel! It brings me back to elementary school, the fresh smell of pencils and everything I loved. Thank you for all the hard work you've been doing setting up your classroom and the dedication you have to teach, also thank you for putting so much of your own personal funds and money so you can help create a positive, happy, and fun learning environment.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I'm so happy I could take you back! Thank you so much. To me, it's all worth it!

[@Mintews]

Girl you have 20 thousands subcribers now. You deserve all of them

[@tammiwelch5595]

Enjoy your first day, I’m sure it will be lovely. Don’t stress too much about making your room perfect- my advice as a 20-year veteran :)

[@tahlijadavidson7704]

I’m an Australian student doing my last year of school and one of my friends found you and said that you remind her of me. So of course I had to watch you and you have really remind me on my dream of becoming a year 1 teacher. Thank you so much. You are such a beautiful person and I know that coming into a school year must be really stressful but you are doing amazing.

[@zoeygagnon6621]

You could use blue wood board and make a shelf to stack their cubbies, if you don’t have enough room, also your room is turning out absolutely amazing!

[@dreamcat8919]

A regular scissor works on the erasers, just move them to the joint space and don't push all the way down. I use the cut method too and just store them in a jar on my desk to hand out as needed. My host teacher in internship, many years ago, did this and I thought it was genius too.

[@lornalessing2080]

Your room is just adorable sweetie! As a "veteran" of 25 years in education its always exciting to see a new teacher so ready to dive in! Just remember everything is not going to be perfect once the kiddos arrive but if you dont sweat the small stuff you wont get so overwhelmed! You're gonna be an awesome educator!! Best of luck this year!☺

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you, Lorna!!!!

[@FangirlVsWorld]

I'm a wanna-be teacher from England and your positivism is perfect! Your kiddos now and in the future will forever remember how amazing you are! :D

[@ionablair8274]

I get way too excited for these videos, I find all your organisation and sorting so calming!! This might be a dumb idea but if you’re concerned about how the yoga balls look you could try putting pillow cases over them to cover them in a nice coloured or patterned fabric. It’s just an idea and might not work but personally I don’t think they look ugly at all just super comfy!!

[@NathalieBjerking]

I'm not a teacher, but I have been following your journey to setup your classroom and it makes me want to change my entire life plan haha

[@Mama4_]

And now you’re at 21K!!!!❤️ I love your videos so much. I am not a teacher, but your love and passion for teaching and your kids is amazing. Please keep on being the teachers you are for the kids coming up!!!

[@lindsaylundeen2632]

Your classroom looks so cute! Girl you make me wish I had a classroom! Rest easy, those kiddos are so blessed to have you as their teacher. You put so much thought into literally every detail, that even if you just sat and stared at them they'd probably learn something ;) Sending you hugs!

[@AlexisLopez-iy4je]

My 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Dossett , actually had a "tree house" in her classroom. That was her theme. Through out the school year our class read the Magic treehouse book series; individually and as a class. She had all the books. When we had free read time she would dim the lights, and we'd get a book and a tiny flashlight and go up to the tree house to read (while she was preparing for our next lesson or something). I know school is starting soon for you, but just an idea. Now that im looking back on it I think the "treehouse" was actually a lifted wood bedframe (like the college beds ) decorated as a tree.

[@intimeoflilacs1]

Good Luck Tomorrow!! You'll be so great and the kiddos will love you and your enthusiasm! I hope you figured out your printers already, but One Note (the printing option you tried to use) is a Microsoft Office application that's like a giant, linkable notebook that you can create infinite tabs and sections, as well as tagging functionality, so if you are in the middle of a note you can mark it with a "to do" or "to remember" tag and then One Note can make a page of all the things you've marked "to do" around your notebook. You can 'print' pdfs (aka just inserting them) into One Note and draw or type notes on top of them. I've used it a lot for my notes, I like it because I can take pictures of the board or handouts or syllabuses and put them straight into One Note to remember or notate/reference later, etc. It can also read the text of pdfs you import, so it has great search functionality. You might find it useful for lesson planning!

[@pilimorrison939]

you helped me to remain calm for my first prep for my grade one class. I live in Jamaica, so my space is much smaller than yours, but you have given me the boost and confidence i needed to go forward. Your ideas are fantastic, so I may use a few of them if I am able. Thank you so much for just being you. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@rosaresmi3164]

Strangely I'm a 17 year old who lives in England, and I want to do science in future, so this video is kind of irrelevant to me. But this series, came up on my recommended and I'm loving it😂 the classroom just looks adorable, I love it x!

[@kaitlynnprice5327]

For the yoga balls, you can make cloth sleeves to put them in. Like a pillow case w a zipper but for your yoga balls

[@Cathaleha]

You can use a pillowcase for the yoga balls to make them nice, it will work if the case is big enough. I did it myself at home. Your room looks really nice :)

[@sararamm]

Would love to see an end of the year reflection that talk, in part, about the experience of vlogging your first year. I am hoping to graduate next spring and would like to document my experience, mostly because I want to try reflecting without having to stare at a computer screen for hours. Great video btw I can't wait into I can finally have my own class so I'll keep enjoying your videos until then

[@lucyaddabbo9842]

i just finished binging you set up series and im obsessed. im an Australian high school senior and we are currently smack-bang in the middle of our school year! these videos help me de-stress, you have such a kind soul! please say you have are doing a final room tour once your room is complete! thank you for the amazing videos!

[@tatumweaver]

I'm a high school teacher, but I LOVE these videos. You've inspired me to try flexible seating in my classroom!

[@Sibbichi]

Hiya! Just commenting as a student myself, I hate the bright white lights in classrooms. I would recommend setting up your own lighting that is much cozier and calmer. Lamps, twinkle lights, etc can be really good for doing that. Making the room a bit darker with the lighting very yellow/orange and calm is very helpful in my opinion. I always look forward to that one class with a calm and dark room to help me relax :)

[@wheresyourhousekey]

You're so fun to watch! This is my 3rd year teaching and I still find your content so interesting and fun to watch. It's nice to see other teachers go through the same things I went through and stressed over. You're going to do so great this year !!

[@veronica33133]

You're doing a great job! I am going into my 17th year of teaching and I love seeing your enthusiasm. I love watching new teachers because as a teacher, you never stop learning...You are very easy to relate to. Also, just want to give you a heads up that I sent you something from your wish list. You should receive it tomorrow. Hope you enjoy it! Good luck on Wednesday...just love them...everything else will fall into place.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Oh my gosh you did NOT have to do that, but thank you so so so incredibly much! And thank you for the luck..I think Wednesday will be the BEST DAY EVER!

[@noellemcelheny1275]

As a student I love watching your videos because it has inspired me to go to college for teaching because of how exciting you make it seem. Your videos are great, keep up all the amazing work! ❤️

[@jennifermundhenk2778]

I am not a teacher but I’m getting ready to homeschool my son for the first time ever. You have helped me with so many organizational ideas.

[@SaraCabRockStarNails]

As a student teacher, I am truly living vicariously through you until I get my own classroom! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@captainjonesify]

I’m student teaching this semester as a Secondary Ed, Speech Ed (Public Speaking, Debate, and Theatre) and this makes me kinda wish I got to set up an elementary classroom! Super cool ideas!

[@andreamoreno1917]

Your room is teacher goals

[@L.B.5.4.]

Ahhh! I'm so happy you updated. As a future teacher in college, it makes me so excited to watch you set your classroom!

[@lailadavis5162]

I have always wanted to be a teacher and watching you have made me want to be a teacher even more and you have made me so excited to become a teacher!

[@courtneybanks1972]

I too keep my desks turned around so I completely understand! I like your idea of using the dollar tree picture frames as dividers during small group. I may just have to try that! Your room looks awesome!

[@kimdobiasidaho]

Your classroom is looking so cute! The number line is perfect!

[@marlopatterson6608]

I absolutely love these videos! I’m not a teacher nor am I looking to be one. I’m actually currently working on my BA in psychology to one day become a school counselor/psychologist for elementary school! My grandma was a teacher for elem school and now is retired, although she still substitutes. She is my inspiration for what I’m studying and I’ve helped her and many many many other teachers help set up their classes and I love it so much! You are so blessed to have such a supportive staff on your side. Your school does different activities than ours (ie the home visits and meeting with other teachers/principle). The teachers here are very much on their own and are not really give much respect which is extremely sad :( Btw I LOVE the flexible seating! I wish my teachers had done this. At first I thought it was ridiculous having all types of different desks but now that I think about it, i probably would be one of the students needing to be closer to the floor or standing up because i was always getting in trouble for moving! I also appreciate the amount of effort you’ve put in to making your class look cute it truly does make a difference to a child’s learning when the class looks fun! Sorry this message is all over the place haha

[@anapatriciagualda6885]

This next school year is my last one studying to become an Early Childhood Education teacher in Spain. I really LOVE what you are doing with your classroom and I can't wait to see more videos in your channel! 💖 I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU

[@AmandaTeaches]

So excited youre almost done! It's looking so great!

[@malloryolson4125]

I’m a kid but I wanna be a teacher when I grow up and I love watching your setup videos!💓

[@maryannwildcat]

I'm not a teacher and I don't want to be a teacher. I'm actually a graphic design student BUT I'm obsessed with watching your series! LOL

[@selin5919]

Your channel is growing ❤️❤️ so proud of you && really do enjoy your videos I hope my children get blessed with a teacher so caring and kind like you

[@aaronlanier]

Wow! Day 9!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Ah! You were the one who gave me the staple gun tip right?

[@aaronlanier]

Mrs. Call's Campers Yeah, still love that montage! 🤣

[@alphaholloway]

I binge watched all 9 videos. Lol. Love them. I have the same pencil holders but in purple for my room

[@KITTYKATB95]

I binge watched all your videos last night when Put Fourth the Effort mentioned you. You have a ton of good ideas and I love that you show a lot of what you are doing while also keeping us informed. :)

[@didibearyt]

Beautiful, you have made so much progress, I’m still student-teaching and I really love your classroom and I understand that you’re really nervous for the time, but you can do it Mayleen!

[@123ZoeDee]

I was just on your channel looking to see if you uploaded this, you hadn’t. Clicked off it and then got the notification! So excited, drink has been made, love your videos xx

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Wow, Zoe what are the odds haha Hello!

[@123ZoeDee]

Hello! Just curious whilst you’re here(😂) do you have a Pinterest I could follow? Your style is sooo similar to my mine and I’m struggling to find educational-inspired decor/prints for my little girls bedroom(Nina, she’s 3) xxx

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Aw, love that name! I do, but it really doesn't have too many things. I don't get on much, but this is it (it's mostly camping omg haha) www.pinterest.com/hiddencharm/

[@123ZoeDee]

Thank you!! Aww, that’s not an issue! My little one loves camping(we camp on her gandparents land a lot) so it could be really helpful☺️ I can imagine you’re pretty busy at the minute. Wishing you luck with everything, and I hope your first year of teaching is everything you dream it will be xxx

[@kierinmccormick6996]

I just binged watched all them episodes for like 4/5 hours! Yes! More more more

[@rebekahs2051]

I’ll be starting my student teaching next year and these videos make me 10 times more excited!!!!!!

[@nathaliegeorges2750]

I really love your videos. It's so awesome to see how much effort you put in the smallest things. It's just new for me to see teachers decorating and planning their classroom like this. And also that students get so much from their schools, like pencils homeworkbooks and everything. I am a student from Germany and here the different classes have their own room and the teachers change room's for almost every lesson. We just have like science room's were also the students have to walk to. I really like the idea of those decorated classrooms. It's a completely different atmosphere I wish we would have this kind of system here too.😅 I'm always so happy when you upload keep going. Congratulations on 20k😊💕 Excuse my bad english I'm 15 and still in the process of learning.😅

[@ryleec.497]

Omg! Your channel is growing so quickly! I can see all the work that you put into your channel and classroom.. you’re going to be such a great teacher! I can’t wait to see your school year videos! I’m a Sophomore in HS but still love your videos ❤️

[@laurenalderman9660]

I honestly really really really love the water bottle idea.

[@paiigeyykayy]

You're at 20k now! You are absolutely amazing! I love watching you! ❤

[@jasminroman1055]

I am a freshmen in college wanting to become a teacher and I definitely want to have your positivity and mind set as a future teacher

[@arcatia66]

girl you’re almost to 22,000 !!! congrats you’re doing so amazing !!!

[@mabbbiiinsjkai2599]

When ever these videos come out I get so excited I can’t wait till the next one!!

[@avag3597]

I’m definitely a list person!! I can’t wait to see your class videos!! You will be the best teacher!!

[@widalyslugo9475]

Hey, girl I love how real you are! Thanks you the small group photo frame idea👍🏼 I am totally going to use it!!

[@crystalroberts2757]

I'm so excited to see these videos because I'm in school to be a teacher! My boyfriend is also hooked on your videos too :)

[@Jobailey02]

Been here since 300! So happy to see how this channel has grown. Congrats on 20,000! :) 💕

[@LifeAsBriiiii]

I really enjoy watching you set up your class room, thank you for being such a great KZbinr.

[@averyklose8724]

I love how you smile at the end of everything you say, it’s so sweet!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thanks, Avery! haha! :)

[@monabee7742]

I just looove your Videos! Going to be a Teacher myself in about two years and i find your Videos just so motivating! :)

[@judithguido1817]

I am so excited to finally see another of your videos. They are really entertaining and interesting to see school from a teacher’s perspective.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I am so glad you're enjoying them!

[@abbeys4008]

An idea for the yoga balls: you could save them for the middle of the year when kids come back from winter break because the kids will have grown and then it will be a fun new thing for the second half of the year! Then you can blow them up all the way so they won’t bother you!

[@zzzarielcat1291]

You really should number the scissors, trust me. I put my kid's initials on them and it is a saving grace. Also, I just started having a lost and found bucket for things that end up on the floor (crayons, glue caps. ect.) and it worked really well. I wish I had done it sooner!

[@elliee9489]

I'm so happy that you reached 20,000 subs! Congrats! By the way I know that you said you didn't need any more paper clips, but trust me when I say this: paper clips are a true necessity in a classroom and it is never bad to get way too many😂

[@flagbrotherrriot]

It may take some time but you could cover the exercise balls in fabric if you decide more to use them in the book area on the rug because they won't be slippery. Just an idea but I don't think they are bad! I like them stacked too!

[@brittanysmiddy5584]

I love watching these videos!! Now that I’m caught up it’s a pain to wait for the next video because i really enjoy all of your ideas and the way you organize!! Keep up the good work!!

[@lovermonkey3977]

CONGRATS 20K ALREADY! I remember when you had only 5K and Joey was running around from all of the excitement😂

[@elynbeth]

The benefit of those labels on the caribiners over stickers is that you don't have to worry as much about the stickers coming off when the bottles are washed.

[@mtlovr1919]

Can’t wait to see more vids! You’re my favorite! I have gotten so many amazing ideas from you. It’s amazing that you are a first year teacher when it comes to design & organization. Can’t wait to see what else I can learn from you. (I’m a 6th year teacher).

[@danielagamboa849]

I LOVE your videos keep up the great work I can't wait to see your room all complete. I'm sure your kids will love it as much as we all do.

[@emilymorgan7569]

And now you’re at 20k!! Congrats girl keep up the amazing work!!! ❤️❤️

[@Kirstycbx]

First time commenting but i've been totally addicted to your channel since I found it, can't wait for the rest of the videos :)!!

[@sophianovotny7421]

I love your classroom! I'm only 13 but i want to be a teacher too. You're inspiring me, and keep up the cute classroom!
