FIRST YEAR TEACHER CLASSROOM TOUR!

[@amandawass887]

i’m an elementary ed college student & would love more videos on student teaching, first year teaching, tests, & what you had to do to get a classroom love your vids !!!

[@AEH10]

I'm a brand new teacher in Las Vegas and our classrooms are much smaller than yours. I was shook when you said you had one of the smallest rooms in the building. I love how you decorated your classroom, it's very cozy!

[@aliciagraham4406]

I absolutely love the idea of the graffiti wall and the 30 book challenge. I jotted that down in my notebook to use for future reference once I become a teacher. I love how cozy and homey your classroom looks and I want to create that type of atmosphere within my classroom.

[@nicolefinley4759]

If you don’t end up getting a podium for your curriculum, you could always look for a music stand. Plus side, they mostly come in black so it would match your decor!

[@PetitChouPumpkin]

Here’s a thought for the Grit wall: have the students write and research them! Maybe each week a different student is responsible for adding a person. Or if you do extra credit, it could be an extra credit piece!

[@colebyburford5515]

I graduated college in May and will be starting as a Kindergarten teacher in the fall!! So excited and nervous for my first year of teaching. I love your classroom! I can’t wait to get in and begin setting mine up 🥰🥰

[@nicollegodbout8174]

Can you talk more about your “teacher toolbox”? Great video, I love your layout!!

[@all4christ1985]

Hi Kim, I just wanted to tell you I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I am absolutely in love. I am going to be doing my student teaching in August and you have inspired me so much. Thank you for all of your advice and the support that you give to first-year and student teachers. God bless.

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

You are so kind! Best of luck with your student teaching. Enjoy every moment!

[@TheEverydayEducator]

Wow your room is really coming together! Such a complete transformation!

[@toriharris7542]

You seem like an awesome teacher I can feel your warmth and love for teaching through the screen

[@emylperalta2077]

LOVE YOU KIM!!!!!! Cant wait for these next 2 years of college to be done to become a teacher too!

[@gabbybrooks3116]

I am a brand new viewer finding you during distance learning and I just wanted to say I already love watching your videos! I am a first year teacher this year, who would have thought my first year would involve adjusting to virtual learning and a pandemic!?! Just wanted to say I love your enthusiasm for teaching. :) Your classroom tour was so fun seeing into your cozy places for your kids. Quick question, where did you get those super cute wood cushions in your library and on under the bench space. They are so cute!

[@birdyvic6965]

Omg your classroom is giant! Im impressed with all the space you have in the class! Im a future preschool teacher and I recently discovered your channel! 😊😊

Expo markers make me crazy! But I just watched a video 2 minutes ago where she taped the marker to a string and swung it over her head (like a lasso) about 25 times around and it was restored! Try it!

[@Amberjackon]

I love your videos, your spirit is so warm and full. Your amazing

[@erikaelisa30]

[@calebwhite4493]

I’m in college for early education. I love the idea of the reading graffiti wall!!!

[@jacisimms1183]

Thank you so much for making this video. You definitely showed me the reality of how a classroom should look. I am going to be a first year teacher this upcoming August. I am scared to death. All of these other videos make it seem like you have to be so extra and perfect. You dont! This made me feel a little better! thanks

[@Taylorgang77]

Aww! I decided to this theme next year and I love your room. I was a first year teacher and I didnt have anything lol. So pretty I love it

[@prayersponytails6227]

Such a sweet classroom! You remind me so much of Jaime Kight here on YT & she’s from MI (as am I :)). I’m a homeschool mom, and I’m definitely inspired by your space and your “real life” personality.

[@lashya697]

Prayers & Ponytails awwww she does huh!!! Me too! How is it being a home schooled mom??

[@bab1292]

Love your classroom! Will you link your TPT? I'm interested in the Writing Checklist!

[@WeazelNewsLucid]

That writing checklist looks amazing! I could not find her TPT account. :(

[@bab1292]

@@WeazelNewsLucid She mentions her TPT in one of her newer videos!

[@karlapaola849]

Great classroom!!! Do you have the vocabulary cards on TPT!???

[@RuffledRodent]

Your classroom is huge! You could never fit that much in the classrooms I've been in.

[@rosainostrosa1838]

Love it! Are you keeping the same theme next school year?

[@kristikblank]

LOL I recognize the chicken patty cardboard box! Used a bunch of those to pack up my room!

[@jenxbobaplaysroblox4475]

[@Autograph03]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your room it is the exact vibe I want for my future classroom

[@fryler1]

Loved this video! I also teach 4th grade. You have given me some great ideas to use in my classroom for the next school year!!

[@kyliemurcek6642]

Please do a video about your book challenge! I want to do a sticky note wall of books read next year too :)

[@dogsforlife3698]

Maybe you can try and do flexible seating

[@lyssANDjules]

I love your bulletin boards! Where did you get the math and reading signs from? Did you make them?

[@ErikaLynn97]

The cutest classroom!!!

[@deetee8100]

The 4th/5th grade halls are being remodeled this summer, so my classroom is in my house! I feel ya!

[@shannonstout2798]

I’m just now finding your channel. I looked for those pencils that you laminated for writing and I cannot find them

[@jocelyne2634]

I’m really interested in knowing how you use the tickets for behavior.. can you elaborate on that a little more 😊

[@belindagarza3958]

This room is huge! As a child our rooms were never this big.

[@mlavideos1117]

So what do you do about couches at the end of the year- are they yours? DO you have to take them home.,.? I want a couch- or two- in my room, but not sure about that.

[@paigemendenhall2325]

Where did you get your stop and go sign for the bathroom? 😊 love that idea!

[@christinerush950]

Your room is so cozy and welcoming!!Are they going to put air conditioning in the new section of the building?

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Christine Rush Oooh I wish! That would be a dream come true but no, my building still will not have air conditioning unfortunately!

[@christinerush950]

Oh no!!! Bummer!! Hoping for cooler weather at the start of the school year for you😘

[@tkgirl9420]

You should go to dollar tree and buy mini fans for the classroom

[@esaxton4378]

I love all of your labels and you math vocabulary cards. Is there any way I can get a copy of them?? TPT?

[@bfs1078]

Do you know where the book stand is from? And do you have the chapter book genre sheet in your TpT store?

[@readsandeats2263]

Your classroom looks so great. I am sure your kids have had a great year with you as their teacher. Do you have a theme idea for your new classroom?

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Thank you!! I've decided not to do themes in my classroom! I'd rather focus on creating a cozy, welcoming space. So I will be trying to make my classroom have a "living room" feel again next year. :)

[@hannahpinkerton1471]

Hi! What program do you use to make all your custom labels look the same and go with your theme?

[@rebeccaelizabeth8362]

A Michigan teacher, finally! (Also, I feel like I recognize you from somewhere but Im not 100% on that)

Is there a list to the editing and revision checklists? I am a new teacher and would love those!
