New Classroom Tour! -----AND some exciting news --- ~Vlog

[@katyscott5750]

Love the video and I can't wait for the stickers. My schedule usually changes everyday because our specials are at different times, so I don't think I'd use the labels. I am however very excited for the little icons you have!

[@DREDIVA2010]

Your classroom is huge! I cannot wait to see what it looks like when you are all moved in. Enjoy!

[@Kimberlyannhall]

Wow that room is huge!!! I admit I'm insanely jealous of the space and storage!! Can't wait to see how it turns out

[@pinkpunkclassroom6610]

I am going into my student teaching semester in the fall (High School English) and I read The Book Whisperer last semester and it totally changed how I feel about reading in the classroom. I am looking forward to being able to implement it in my own room soon. I just love your videos!!

[@0411ACE01]

I am sooooo jealous of the amount of storage you have in this room! I love it!!!

[@katymason1813]

Nice classroom! I am jealous of all of the storage you have. I only have one closet! Congrats on you new job.

[@littleapplelearning2937]

Looks like an awesome space! I love when my classroom has a sink- it makes like so much easier!! We're only half way through our school year in Australia but I love seeing everyone's new rooms!

[@tinabietler]

I am soooo jealous of all your closets! I have just one small little one. Your new room is an amazing blank slate. Can't wait to see what you do with it all.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Tina Bietler thanks Tina! Loved the idea you had with the shower curtain to cover your shelf! That was brilliant!

[@ishaptel]

+Tina bietler don't you have a channel to?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

She does! Click on her name and SUBSCRIBE! :)

[@katiemeinke9325]

The summer challenge booklet is so cute! This would be great for Winter Break too-may have to use this idea for student teaching!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Yes it would work perfectly! Good luck and let me know how it goes!

[@MrsHolesClassroom]

I LOVE watching your transition to 4th! Some subjects for stickers: Phonics, Bible, Penmanship, Staff Meeting, Fire Drill, how's that for starters? Thanks for posting & have fun on conference! I'm going on a school conference in July too! Can't wait!

[@Bellahlove]

I went to a conference there. it is beautiful. The food is delicious. When we went we got complementary massages at the spa, so check on that. They also have a water park down the street that the shuttle takes you to, because it is a part of the hotel. The price is already included in your stay! :)

[@katelyndwyer5877]

Please tell us how to print stickers at Staples! I AM IN LOVE WITH YOURS! They look amazing! Have fun at your conference!!

[@natalie3104]

Love the video & excited to see your classroom decorated too!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Love the size of your room!! Have fun in Dallas! Safe travels! ((Hugs))

[@GuStLaMa7110]

I'm at a new school too...and I'm super jealous of your storage! I'm in an old portable with zero built in storage. Do you have your reading survey available in your TpT store, or will you? I really like how you've set it up!

[@theClassySassyLife]

Can you do a video about what products (from TPT), routines, and your planning before school starts. I'm moving to 4th this year too!!!

[@kaylapatterson6685]

You have such good luck in finding good rooms. Every room I've volunteered in has been super small!

[@kiarajones1290]

Good LORD... The storage is AMAZING!!!! As for the stickers I'd love Literacy Block and Mathematics Block! Other subjects I teach are Science, Health, Sport, Visual Art, Music and Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS). How do you print them and on what label size? Could you maybe show how if you don't have staples?

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

I love that summer challenge! So dang cute!

[@awade17]

I almost signed up for the Teacher conference as well!! Now I wish I would have gone! I hope you have fun! im super glad you will be vloging your experience!

[@misskat55]

Yippee! I'm going to Get Your Teach On this weekend as well! I hope I get to meet you! Safe travels!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

See you there!!!!!! 🤗

[@Bethsbeautydiary]

Excited for you... Your classroom is so big! ... I cant wait to hear about the conference!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I'm on vacation at the BEACH :) but editing the Vlog now! Should be up Monday!

[@demetriaclaybon6032]

Can you do a video on your moving transition? Have you sold your house yet? Got a new one? etc...

[@Bella-ek5bx]

Sorry it's bugging me. Where are you looking? Anyway I love the summer challenge idea!

[@Bella-ek5bx]

Ps. Your classroom is awesome. I have a tiny portable with out a sink or restroom.

[@johnthurman5101]

Could you talk about the Common Core Companion book you read?

[@MariaRodriguez-tu4im]

I would love this as well!

[@pamsteckman698]

You have about 10 times the amount of storage than me. I have 6 cabinets, 3 small drawers and a large metal cabinet. That is it. Your new room is a dream!!!

[@officiallamont5963]

Have a fun year and us as 8 th graders we have 6 periods

[@mrs.patino3625]

Love all your storage! So jelly. 😋

[@miriamfernandezboraso283]

hi! awesome storage and a ver y Huge classroom. great. do u have the summer challenge and reader survey as a freebe un tour blogs or tpt?

[@tracymart4304]

Your husband got you a great book! the first 20 days in that book is fantastic!!!!!

[@amberngoldman]

This storage is on point!!

[@Steff96]

Hello , I love your videos ! I was wondering could you film a video please , talking about how you became teacher and your journey . What were you studying and how did you got into teaching ( any tips for beginners ?) . .. I will be doing my primary school teacher training course and would love to hear your experience and story . Many thanks ~

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I covered some of this is my Teach.com interview. I may do a more specific video down the road. Thanks for watching! "Interview" ---> teach.com/blog/bridget-spackman/

[@emilylauren9376]

I know I'm so late to the party here, but that resort is AMAZING!! I stayed there for JamCon 2015, and it ROCKED!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Emily Roberts oh my goodness it was fantastic! Bummed we didn't get to see it to its fullest.

[@emilylauren9376]

Same here - I totally missed the water park because I was in Conference sessions all day. But my roommates and I definitely made time to drive into Grapevine for In-n-Out Burger - one was from California and I have a sister out there, so we had to introduce the other two to that amazingness!

[@standincub]

You house looks pretty! Do you have a house tour video? My boyfriend and I are moving into a house in the next two months so I am all about house tour videos right now!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I have not done a house tour...maybe someday. Congrats on the new house! So exciting!

[@standincub]

Thanks! It is exciting and terrifying lol!

[@desertdweller8374]

Where in Pa? So happy to follow along with you! My daughter is starting her first year teaching - I've been teaching for 22 years. We will be retiring to Pa. in a few years and she hopes to work in Pa. as well.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Bobs Bunches - We will be moving to the south central area of the state! Very excited...even for the snow :)

[@desertdweller8374]

My husband is from Reading, Pa. and I am from Chester, Pa. We hope to retire to Lititz, Pa. We are coming for our annual visit in October and staying in Amish Country ( we rent a little cottage) to enjoy autumn in Pa! Thanks for answering! I believe you are excited about snow - we are in Arizona and we are DONE WITH THE SUN! :-)

[@Pattykitty24]

I'm in middle school but it's very interesting to see what teachers do and how they stay organized. I wish I did a Summer Challenge like that in elementary. Have a good time teaching :)

[@thezapatas5028]

Caroline Meade ww

[@smroth5252]

how did you get the stickers printed at Staples?

[@ashleyzimmerman9095]

your room is amazing! the storage is just to die for! for labels it would be cool to have some that said like reading group 1 and reading group 2 etc in order to plan for different small groups. just an idea :)

[@ThatTeacherWifeLife]

Recently discovered your channel! Your new room is beautiful! I'm a teacher too - aren't summers the best?! If you're like me - we still find work to do! Looking forward to following you more :)

[@katstella8930]

Hi Bridget, Could you please make the following subject area stickers for us Australian Teachers: English, Mathematics, Science, Technology, History, Geography, PDHPE, The Arts, Religion. Thank you for your help and for always sharing your ideas with us! I love your videos and can't wait to try some of your techniques with my own class next year :)

[@valeriaescobar8679]

congrats you will have a good time

[@anabanana5009]

Do you have your reader's survey in your TPT store?

[@theoryoferin]

what a great classroom! so much space and storage. that would be a dream! thanks for sharing it with us. question -- do you have any recommendations for secondary ed KZbinrs that are active? all of the teachers with channels I've found are elementary-based and I'm going to be going into a high school, so while a lot of the basics are similar, it's also completely different. Just wondering if you had suggestions!

[@beckyskogen7116]

check out toocoolformiddleschool ! She's the only secondary teacher I've found (but I'd love more, too!) She is awesome!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Yes! As Becky mentioned, check out Megan @toocoolformiddleschool. She is fantastic!

[@gustavogomez8931]

Congrats! That's a fancy-pants classroom. :) Mine is a moldy portable without any storage.

[@smiilexoxo27]

i just got a job as a kindergarten teacher for my first year!!! i am so nervous and excited!😜wish i had as much teaching knowledge as you do!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

You will do great! Stay organized and stay positive! I recommend my behavior management videos. They should help as a new teacher! Congrats and have FUN!!

[@alexisaustin7640]

Love the stickers!

[@angenetteaikens5210]

Biology, Anatomy & Physiology (A&P), Biotechnology 1, Biotechnology 2, Biotechnology 3

[@sawanb00]

I teach Pre-K! These would be helpful to me! Clues and Questions, Science, Sensory, Manipulatives, Art, Writing, Dramatic, Blocks, Story Tree, Small Group, and Assessments.

[@macnsydsmom]

Question along the lines of your stickers. I'm a homeschool mom and I want to do brag tags with my two girls. The only tags I can find are for classroom size, 30 of the same to a page. I can't find anything for homeschoolers, with a bunch of different ones on each page. Any idea where I can find some?

[@soccergirl5832]

staples or target

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I think most stores will sell classroom size packs. Maybe a local Parent/Teacher store? You might look into a Silhouette Cameo. I'm not going to say that it has an easy learning curve, but you can customize anything you need! I think that it would be perfect for a homeschool environment. If you have time or enjoy crafting, you can make pretty much any project you can design! I am still learning but having fun making projects along the way. There are a ton of KZbin videos covering the machine, but I am by no means an expert.

[@gretchicus8108]

For the book club you could do a live stream and people can comment

[@saralabarba9018]

how do you find out about conferences? I'm an alternative cert teacher.

[@adrianasaez3823]

hi! I am a teacher in Spain and I just have a little question. I have been checking loots of videos and instagram from american teachers and i wonder if you get most of the forniture and the baskets.. Here it is quite normal you take some little things to your own class but not as much. Do you get money from school to get them or do you invest in your own clasrooms? thanks!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Adriana - So funny to hear the differences! Here is a video of my new room for next year. This is exactly how I will walk into it. However, every school is different. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYSyhHejnsZ6a9km23s Every district is different, but our school did give us a small amount of money to spend for the year. I have read that the average teacher spends over $500 of their own money in their classroom per year.

[@adrianasaez3823]

amazing! i wonder where i would put all that stuff during the summer. the normal flats here are quite small hahahaha hugs!!

[@induaujla2118]

Where are you going to pit your desk

[@dianeramsey4113]

That is a "GIANT" room! but, super cute!

[@omaxoxo4515]

I'm in 7th grade and want to be a teacher and so do you know any high schools for becoming a teacher or what high school did you go to?

[@eisbarbusy]

Do you have the summer challenge available in TPT?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I did not make that version available. I will have one ready to share for this summer.

[@lizzytenison8232]

Are you gonna have a teacher desk?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

No, I like to keep the room for my students...and it ends up being stacks of paper :)

[@cheergirl1760]

Do you have the readers survey in your tpt store?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

They are not, however, I am working on getting them up....long 'To Do" list right now :)

[@brittanynorton870]

you are a inspiration to me I saw your kindergarten video and That's the Grade I wanna teach....

[@Samanthalikescatts]

omg!! I had in mind doing a Harry Potter theme as well when I become a teacher.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I'm so excited! I can't wait to get in and start setting up the room!

[@k.m.240]

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Classrooms in the US vary drastically. However, I do have a relatively large room.

[@henryprokop9170]

As for the stickers, I work at a Catholic School and need to teach Religion as well as all the other subjects.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+henry prokop - With the new Planner being editable, I probably won't ship stickers this year. I do have some other ideas though.
