I’ve been trained to be a teacher for almost 6 years (undergrad + master), but student teaching and the courses only taught me teaching strategies. Ur videos are authentic interesting learning materials for me! Thank you for uploading 🎉

[@krissydmckenzie]

It is nice to see new teachers so excited to start their career. I remember that first day ever and how I couldn’t believe I had my OWN class. It was such a great feeling. I’m in Canada and because of Corona we aren’t allowed to have any ‘soft touch’ surfaces, so no pillows, added rugs, etc. I guess just easier to clean and disinfect. It is my 21st year and definitely the most surreal one yet. Best of luck to you. Your first year is hard, but try to enjoy as much of it as possible. 🙂

[@madisonleighmaryan]

This means so much!! Thank you!

[@emsy5287]

Yea sure

[@blueninja2000]

You can us3 a binder for colouring pape

[@michelleknupp2469]

I am a student working on becoming a teacher, I'm still trying to figure out what grade level I would like to teach, but when I started my classes back in April I was already thinking full steam ahead about how I was going to have my classroom setup and how I was going to run my classroom. All I know is that when I get started with teaching whatever grade level I end up choosing I hope to make my classroom inviting to the students . That reading nook would be a starting point.

[@crystalwalker6776]

Yes

Wow, as a Dutch teacher, it seams so strange you have to set up your classroom up yourself. In the Netherlands, classrooms come already furnished.

[@annamuller7183]

Oh yes. I‘m from Germany and I don’t fully understand how it works in the US and if they have to pay for all of that themselves

[@laureng8438]

The same in the U.K. the classrooms are fully furnished. I actually think that’s out of order the teacher has to furnish the classroom.

[@RosaMartinezLovesYou]

@@annamuller7183 In the US, we have to purchase everything ourselves. :(

[@anajuliixo]

@@annamuller7183 a lot of teachers actually end up having to buy most of the materials from their own money because schools don’t provide them with much here in the US

[@smallvillechick88]

@@annamuller7183 depends on the school! A lot of schools gives teachers a budget every year to use for classroom supplies! I get a budget where I teach and I use it in storage, supplies etc and save some to use for fun stuff for the kids during the school year

[@soimsha.]

You could use binders for your students “best work” “best art” like any real good grades/project put them in the binder so they can bring that home for their parents at the end of the year

[@ivyschell3570]

That’s a good idea

[@Entirely_Edwards]

I just finished my first year of teaching, and I’m about to begin my second. I had a large binder with many tabs that I organized all important things in for my evaluations and proof! My admin always grabbed the binder to see evidence. The tabs I had correlated directly to the 10 TKES standards for Georgia, but they can apply to any state! I had a schedule section, differentiation section, data section, lesson plan section, parent communication section, PL/Meeting notes section, state standards section, pacing guides, etc. you could have a binder for these things to show evidence of your teaching!

[@mirianpaz2737]

Could you share with me? I

Ah thank you!! 🥰

[@pboeckmann]

I so agree!

[@mariamastee4245]

Each student needs a binder for homework, spelling words, a form where they can keep track of books read. Also include vocabulary words, skills that will be taught each week. Include notes to parents. I was a teacher for 21 years in second grade. I love it.

[@shaneevans9511]

Yes that is probably the best idea so far

[@jacquelineharrison2858]

Love what you’ve done so far! I create student portfolio binders. Students set goals for the year and store their best work in it. It’s a brag book of sorts. At the end of the year they take it home.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

I love that idea!! Thanks!

[@hollycicero5792]

My class does that!

[@breannadetwiler8486]

I wish I would of had this all my elementary teachers told me was put it on your fridge and next minute it would in the trash and nobody would know we're it would be

[@ashleythomas5456]

I got 2 more years left of becoming an elementary teacher. I’m so excited :) this makes me get an idea of how life will be then

[@selinkaragozoglu8527]

my teacher used to keep a binder for every one of us throughout the year and put all the stuff we made in our binders. when we graduated she put all of the stuff in an envelope and gifted it to us. I still have it! everyone loved it.

[@chadpokbaasjourneyblog]

Love watching videos like these can’t wait to have my own classroom one day ❤❤❤❤

[@emnam13]

Your classroom is cute! I’m student teaching this semester, and can’t wait until I can set up a classroom of my own. If I had that many binders, I would either use them as student data binders (one for each student, like a portfolio) or I would use them to separate out each unit in each subject that I would be teaching. I’d fill it with the curriculum, lesson ideas, worksheets, etc.

[@makenzieplayz5072]

That’s a good idea!

[@pames_vlogs.]

For this exact reason I like going to my school or old school to help teachers organize and setup their classrooms. If you need community service or volunteer hours you can also ask them to sign off on the hours that you were there helping. I honestly feel like even the smallest things can help teachers. Whether it’s taking out trash or helping empty out boxes. In my experience most teachers will appreciate the help or even the offer. The classroom looks great! I can tell you are going to be an amazing teacher!

[@ahoy_elementary7826]

You can make a memory binder, so if they give you pictures or notes you can put it in a page protector in there.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

That’s a great idea! ☺️

[@owleyes71]

Also for the binders, you can use them to hold your assessments. Don't get rid of binders! One never knows when they will be useful. :) Or you could use it for curriculum organization.

[@taylorreinbolt3795]

When I was student teaching my teacher used binders to organize materials like tpt products or centers she used for each theme she had throughout the year! It’s a great idea to keep all the materials you need for each theme if you have space to store the binders!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Yes so true - great idea!!

[@Stax9910]

Great idea

[@Stax9910]

@@madisonleighmaryan hi

[@odrobinka]

I don't know how many kids will be in your class but you can give every one of them a binder and whenever you have some kind of event (Christmas, birthday, sports day, ect.) they can draw pictures, have photos and just things that remind them of that day in there. It'll be really fun to look through that later on :) And they can continue to store their memories of every school year in there too!!!

[@Nikkimarie0430]

I’m 23 now but my teacher did this when I was in 1st grade and it’s one of my favorite things from my childhood to look through!

[@ALMAPAGAN]

I'm blown away with how much stuff a teacher is responsible for. What a huge investment out of their own pocket. Amazing.

[@cailinalainn8614]

You could use the binders to keep the childrens work in as their own personal "portfolio"

[@tiffanychudzinski7584]

I love how you can't stop smiling! You look so excited 😊

[@creedencebushert-gonzales6392]

You can use the binders to put homework or classwork in case there is a student absent or missed certain classwork. Student portfolios/ artwork.

[@AE-ud8zr]

11th year of teaching second grade here... your room looks great! I haven't watched any other of your videos, but I hope Covid hasn't dampened any of your dreams. Your students are lucky to have you; good luck this year!

[@mrsdawna58]

When I was a teacher I used my binder’s for master copies of printable’s, individual child portfolios, and organizing picture cards with words.

[@allyt001]

You could use a binder or however many you would like to hold homework the students have turned in or tests, unless you would give them back to the students

[@marinnaauletti1148]

A binder could be used for a reading log so kids can take home books & bring them back like a library system☺️👍🏼

[@ReadWriteandShine]

Love seeing how excited you are to set up your classroom! 💖 love the bins you are using to organize your chapter books! I have been looking for them but have not seen them this year. You did so much in one day! Looking forward to day 2.😁

[@madisonleighmaryan]

I got mine off amazon!! & thanks so much! Day 2 will be live tomorrow at 11am!

[@teresadupont7442]

For the binders you could do something where you put the kids work/ artwork and have a spot for all the papers and if it’s for like some art work you can give it to the parents at the end of the year.

[@ginnyspencer6445]

I’ve never seen a person bringing so many thing into a classroom!!! I do spend tons of money in my classroom, but never for furniture. Congrats 🎉🎊

[@cancerrific]

It looks beautiful! I hope you’re getting reimbursed so some of that! I wish more non-teachers watched classroom setups. I don’t think anyone outside of education realize how much teachers spend to make rooms cute and homey.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Oh 100%! Not many people realize the work, effort and money that goes into our own classrooms. I am not getting reimbursed 🤷🏼‍♀️ but it’s worth it to me to create an inviting, warm space for my kiddos 🤍

[@kenyub]

I’m not a teacher; and I’m watching.. lots of effort, time, and money I see.

[@FirstNameLastName-wt5to]

You guys don’t actually NEED any of it. A good teacher only needs themselves. And maybe a blackboard. This is your choice. I know it comes from a good place but I think it’s misguided and puts too much faith in these things rather than the teacher.

[@cancerrific]

@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to Have you ever spent 6+ hours a day for 9 months in a bare room with 28-32 small children? How did you make that work? I would love to hear from such an expert.

[@FirstNameLastName-wt5to]

Kerrie Gipe Teachers all over the world manage to do it and they have much higher test scores than us.

[@kristinjaklitsch4803]

Love the yellow in your room! I keep a binder for parent contact. I note the date, time, method of communication (call/email/meeting), reason, and what the end result was.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

[@Aubsssssssslasy]

You can use the banners to put the kids homework in and if you don’t wanna buy extra Friday folders or if you don’t use that as a template but you can use them for Friday folders if they have pockets inside and you can put something in them if you do it🎉❤❤

[@duannehaughton4893]

Great video! I am in an elementary education program and really enjoy seeing the process or becoming an educator for the ‘littles’. I want to watch every video.

[@johurasultana7623]

I wanna be a teacher when I grow up and all these classroom designs I’ve been watching r rlly encouraging me ☺️🥺🙃

[@ashleywilson37]

I love the yellow!! I’m not a teacher yet but most of my mentor teachers have used binders for student data binders or a brag book to show off their best work instead of having a wow work board, me personally i would use them for individual lessons and all unit tests id have for that certain lesson or unit along with worksheets, games and other things or things i’d want to keep for next year or for the lesson/unit that the specific binder was for, you can also use them for emergency plans, you could also keep worksheets and things in one from previous years so you could make copies if you needed something, and i would use one for everything that you as a teacher need to know for the school like tornado drills, procedures etc and things you need to know for students

[@justinejulia6873]

I know this is from two years ago, but binders are great for your curriculum and you can use a binder for each month to organize all your papers and weekly plans for each month

[@jarroddavison2557]

Where would we be without teachers?! You all are the best!!! I hope you have a wonderful school year 😊😇

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Thank you so much for this comment!!

[@lifewlaylaa]

I swear 1st 2nd or 3rd grade teachers are the best

[@pboeckmann]

You could make class books out of the binders like every year have everyone in the class write on page so then you have a book from each class so you can remember all of your classes

[@mida7777]

In school rn for teaching I’ve been watching all your videos and I’m just thinking wow i still love it and want to do it but people need to see how much it really takes you have to really have a love for this kind of work ❤️

[@JLHerold84]

I use binders for student data, guided reading groups, I also have a binder with various school info, standards etc that I can easily access

Great ideas! Thank you!

You should give the students each a binder for all the loose work and projects and just all those things that don’t have a place! (Just an idea)

[@andrealynne5328]

I love your classroom!! I'm a third year teacher but it's my first year teaching 2nd grade! I taught 1st for the last two years. I use binders for lots of things! I use one for a grade book (in case something happens with my online one), I also have my lesson plans in one, one has sight words for our assistant to use with the kids, a sub binder, and a student info binder with important info etc. I keep that one locked in my desk ☺️

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Ah those are all amazing ideas - thank you so much! ☺️

[@gigi_sneicher]

It’s been my dream to become a teacher! I love watching these and getting ideas!

[@iluvtwbf]

I’m not a teacher but worked in childcare. We had an “emergency binder”. Basically just a hard copy of all the child’s info (contact info/allergies etc.) in case we had to leave the building for whatever reason and needed that info. We left it by the door for easy reach. Have a great year!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

[@aestheticworld5109]

Your style for your room is very inspiring!!! Love you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you so much love!

[@heatherschillinger693]

I would use the binders and color code them. Red for January, orange Feb, yellow March, green April... Etc. It makes finding items a tad easier throughout the year.

[@charleyrollo9545]

We use binders for each child’s academic achievements and any work over the year, group work or any info for if a teacher had to cover

[@jennsfamlife]

So glad you came up in my suggestions. Loving your classroom so far. ❤️

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Ah so happy to have you here! Thanks for watching 🤍

[@carachildress1584]

What you should do with the binders is keep the teacher one and the other ones give them to your class for their take home folder

[@lauradorsett5867]

If the binders are mostly similar in sizes, all one inch or two inches, you could make them for the kids to use as take home binders. They could stay in the classroom to teach them organization. I would make use of them or store them to use another school year.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

That’s a great idea! I think I am going to give one to each kid 😊 thanks!

[@allstarfootball401]

This makes me more excited to decorate my classroom next year!

[@77alanis]

So cute the Yellow , and everything else I’m a first year teacher too!! How exciting !!! Yeah for all of us.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

thanks so much! Good luck this year!

[@-milkshake-3943]

You should ask the other teachers if they want the binders and you can keep them in a cabinet if no one wants them.and if anyone needs them,you have them :)

[@f.acostaa9429]

I recommend the binders to be used for upcoming projects /work/homework for each month

[@danchristiaens5641]

Y’all these kids lucky to have a KZbin as a teacher

[@itsamaya3819]

You can use the binders and if your kids have pencil pouches you can put the pencil pouches in the binders with like paper and stuff like that

[@avawatlington5650]

You can use two of the binders one for keeping up with grades and the other one for upcoming assignments maybe!

[@nhabib114]

[@_BeachVibes]

I remember when I was in 4th grade I helped my teacher pack here classroom at the end of the year I was so fun!

[@califalkner1575]

You can take pictures of the stuff your kids make and make a memory book at the end of the year and give it to them.

[@MakeUpSleuth84]

I'm late to this video but I teach 2nd grade and I have a binder for each student full of different anchor charts. I separate the sections for writing, reading, math, research, etc. It's a great resource for them. The math ones are put in clear sleeves so they can use dry erase markers on them. I reuse the binders each year.

[@MichelleNiez47]

You can use the binders to keep track of what your students are reading

[@katied687]

I don't know if they allow it at your school, but one thing you can do with the binders is health records of all the students, like for me, I have one page per student, and it lists allergies, parent/guardian info, medical records (broken bones, if they have ever had cancer, etc.) and I have a copy of each doctors/dentist excuse note clipped to each students page.

[@stephaniecampos8328]

Binder for the end of the year you can add all of their arts and crafts and other projects their with the dates to and give it to their parent as a gift 😭

[@gracebaker7468]

I just came up on your channel! i’m in k-6 education school now. I know this is late, but you could have a binder & keep up with the children’s behavior, moods, work ethic, etc. One of my teachers mentioned after each day having a quick talk with each student & allowing them to grade their behavior for that day. This allows them to think and self correct their behavior! I’m so late, but I hope all is well & your first year was awesome :)

[@brynnutrup1276]

You could use one binder for grading and another binder for if kids draw you pictures you can put them in there

[@emmaprobus817]

i think that a good idea for ur binders would be for organization! you can have Planning for Lang.arts in 1 binder and planning for math in another! you can also put like a overall binder for any subs that might come in!

[@madysineisenhauer7364]

Use the binders for like a free time binder so when the kids are done with what they're doing you could just fill it with for activities and they can grab one and yeah

[@kendallmalinowski3850]

I used them for the kids and made a “My Second Grade Year” book and put pictures and memories inside !

Art folders if your student make are put it in the folder and hand it out at the end of the year

[@ameliamatildax303]

You can use the binders for homework and for a paper register

[@Jaylenecurley]

The classroom looks really good but what you can use the other dinosaur is you can give the kids binders and put like agendas in there so we can write down what they have for homework or what they have to do for that day or for the week

[@rachelandzach]

I'm going to have my own classroom next month and I do not have anything for it 🙃 good for you for being so prepared!

omg, this took you 12 hours. I've had a 12-hour softball tournament and I know how it feels to just keep going non-stop

[@jessieredmond4712]

it would be so cool to have a binder for each student and put stuff in there that they made or nice notes when u notice they do something good and then at the end of the year give it to then

[@amina23444]

Kinda late but I would have one dedicated to each of your kids because that is really helpful for them to keep all of the stuff they need without getting lost, and it can stay in the cubby they use or a "personal" area

[@bridgetbroeker-simons5598]

Class expectations and tips and such in a binder for each student!

[@emrbb5]

You could use binders for planning lessons with specific dates on them!

[@cookingwithkaylin1200]

For the binders you can have a fun game day or something on Friday

[@teachcreateandcaffeinate]

Your classroom is coming along so nicely! Love the yellow paint wall! 😍

[@madisonleighmaryan]

[@roundthegumtree6846]

I would keep a binder for each kid with examples of their school work and notes about things they are working on and how you are helping them.
