Classroom Tour | Organizing the Curriculum

This video is one in a series on my classroom tour. I've had dozens of requests for a classroom tour and thought it would be most helpful to create bite-sized videos that show the different areas in my classroom so that I can elaborate more on those specific areas. Also, if you don't want to see a certain area, you can skip to the next video!

You can tell the states that put money into education. Love the size of that classroom.

Video request: logistics and life of being in a private Christian school. Looking forward to the rest of the classroom videos.

Do you have any advice for education majors? I just got accepted to the Early Childhood Education program at my top school and I'm excited, but I'm also nervous

ugh....poor choice of work......u should had chosen an easier job.

[@RagazzaFit25]

you definitely did not waste my time, thank you for sharing. I find this video so interesting since i have a 4 yr old and am planning to home school for TK only and need to get organized to do so :) Very informative - if u can pls share any useful youtube channels or videos for kids

[@Noel236]

Can I just say thank you for teaching your kids using songs. As someone who is extremely dyslexic/discalcic I use songs/ tips my elementary school teachers taught me on a near daily basis and I am now in my late 20's. Such as we go to get her together or to get the answer to 4x4 you have to be 16 drive a 4x4. It is little things like that, that will stay with your students forever.

[@HappilyPlanningLife]

I had no idea I could embed videos on PPT now! Thanks for sharing that - it's going to be a total game changer. I love the way you have everything organized by week!

[@irenedejong1535]

The schools here in South Africa have started on the 9th of January .I finished school last year in December.😀🇿🇦

[@lexilynn_]

Can you do a video where you just do an overview of your classroom?Not super in depth but just the general layout. That would be awesome!!

[@laceyballard619]

I have also changed how I store curriculum and prep for lessons. For weekly lessons I use a drawer system labeled with the days of the week and one drawer says next week. This helps me with my weekly planning. Although I have found a system for my weekly planning, I have not found a system that I like for my yearly outline. Your electronic outline is something I am excited about trying. Would you mind sharing what centers you use? I noticed you immediately start your curriculum in week 1. I would love to do this but often find myself taking a little longer for beginning of the year assessments. Do you do assessments? If so, when do you do them? Thanks for this great video!

[@erinsmartypants6147]

I love your videos because I want to be a home school teacher. Do you have any ideas for me about school books or any school stuff. Let me know what your ideas and thoughts are. Please.

[@miriamfernandezboraso9033]

Hi. Awesome class. Please can you show your calendar bosrds and others billboards in your clas and tbe conteiners stucks in the doors as well. Hete in Argentona we do not have that kind of storage so it is a great idea to see how you use that system Kisses & blessings from Argentina the Tango Land. Miriam

[@evequinterosvargas3296]

Thank you! Welcome Back! Great video. Can you link the computer you used to link the TV... I have a tv and usually use my phone to link it but your system would be more productive and save me time. Please do a video on this technology SOON!

+The Kinderhearted Classroom - Elizabeth Elizabeth , I am looking forward to the classroom management . I'd like to see if there is anything that has grown or has changed and if you still use that clip chart I would also like to see more in depth on like the bottom cards on it as well as the top . By the way , say if you wind up teaching kinders next school year , I want to tip you on the whole brain teaching strategy called the super improver wall . - Dwight

Love watching your vlogs, always gain lots of ideas. Summer holidays here in New Zealand at the moment, school starting in 2 weeks, so busy getting classroom ready. I teach the same age as you. New Zealand curriculum and teaching is quite different in that we group children according to their needs for Reading, Writing, Maths and our planning changes each week depending on progress but it's interesting seeing a different way of doing things. Thank you!

[@aprilscales4683]

At some point, can you make a video about planning lessons and how to structure a day? I’m just starting the Texas Teachers program and I want to teach kindergarten and make sure I provide the best, most fun learning environment I can. I saw that you have an overview of different lessons (math, literature, science, etc). How do you disperse those lessons throughout the week? What does a typical day of lessons look like? Is there a specific order you go in each day?

[@kristinkorson]

I know this is a very late comment... But I just came across this video.. Would you be able to share that curriculum excel spreadsheet with me? I would love to just take a look at how your curriculum is set up and see what a typical year of kindergarten breakdown is... :)
