Empty Classroom Tour! | Falling in Love With Teaching Again VLOG 17

[@rinawalter5402]

As an OG’er…the glow in your eyes heading back to the classroom is so very heartwarming. I am so very excited for you and grateful that you are taking us all on it with you. ❤❤❤✏️✏️✏️✏️

[@nancydineen6797]

You inherited a clean slate. This is so great that you don’t have to deal with a lot of trash.

[@christineclancy8089]

So happy the previous teacher left the room practically empty!

[@ashleighsmith1474]

Your smile is so bright! Your excitement is radiating off of you!

[@kadieanjohnson3809]

That is so true

[@schoolhousechronicles3289]

You might want to consider putting the double-sided bookcase between your teacher's desk and your small group area because it's blocking your view of that corner and one of your windows. Love the amount of storage space. Can't wait to see what you do with the student desks. Better Than Paper Bulletin Board Roll while not cheap is a great alternative to felt for your bulletin board. It comes in many designs so it is worth it. I too moved and left for a little while. The experience of returning to the classroom was amazing!. The return brings so much clarity. Take your time. Enjoy each and every moment of it.

Well Michelle, I for one cannot wait for the ride to start. You are at the very least among the first teachers on here to show me what is going on inside the classroom from "the teacher's desk" if you will and I cannot wait to see this classroom come together and you do what you do best and this time hopefully get and stay supported for it and not be backstabbed. The Queen of Teachers is back on the throne !! - Dwight

[@jewelslearningjourneys31]

Can’t wait for your setup videos!!! I love how you talk through everything!! That helps me compare what you are doing with what I do, I can then incorporate the best of both worlds! So happy to have you back in the classroom…😊❤

[@zander88990]

So Happy that you are back in the Classroom Michelle. You are an Amazing Teacher and your students will Love being in your classroom.

[@BlerdrevolutionBRGpls]

I just can’t imagine having a 7 member teacher team at an elementary school. Your campus must be huge!

[@cheyennemoore8380]

My brain immediately went out that small square table by the door and make it a check in/out place. It can be where students or families get handouts or anything they need. I'd also add hand sanitizer and a cup or pencils so students have independence and can use germ x when they return from the restroom or somewhere 😂 (covid got me y'all). That's what I see many teachers do at my school and it's so cute, but still practical. I'm so excited for you! Have fun and it's fine to have a clean slate. You can revamp your style now that you've had experience! Yay!

[@michellestephens2612]

I'm currently setting up my classroom as well...that being said, I'm looking forward to watching your classroom setup for ideas and motivation 😊so glad you're back!! Thanks for vlogging your return to the classroom! Love your videos ❤

[@russellpalatiere8852]

This is going to be awesome! Your room has so much potential. I love working with a blank canvas.

[@lisaingram6819]

I'm so excited to see the classroom set up vlogs from you again!

[@warriors1erwin]

I've been waiting for this! So excited! 🎉

[@frenchwithmadameg1116]

Yay! 🎉 I’m so happy for you! You are glowing! I can’t wait to see it all come together! I’m curious to see what you keep from previous rooms and what you change!

[@amandawilkins8403]

Happy Tuesday, Michelle! Yay for your empty classroom vlog! I am so excited to see your process of starting with a blank canvas and setting up your room. I just went into my new classroom yesterday and started setting up. It has been so enjoyable so far. I agree with you that it is a process and your plan may change throughout, but it all comes together in the end. Best of luck as you set up. I can't wait to see the next video! 💜

[@rebeccat5863]

Can't wait to see how you set up and decorate!

[@aprilburch-dv9so]

Im so excited🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@pamsteckman698]

Nothing like a clean slate to work with! ❤

[@lifestylebyk]

I am so excited for you. I am happy you are able to vlog again in the classroom.

[@jenniferalexander2337]

So excited for you!! Prayers for a wonderful year back!!

[@Sallylilly1812]

I didn’t know you were going back in the classroom. I’m pretty excited to see what’s next! Good luck and I hope you have a great year!!!

[@lisabird7093]

I'm so looking forward to your classroom set up videos. I'm teaching in England and although UK teachers do bring in a lot of their own stuff from home, I can't imagine starting with a classroom that didn't already have any resources in it.

[@cheech9282]

Yay!! So glad you are back with your classroom videos!

[@pamela.imagines.p10]

One drawer in my filing cabinet is used for treasure items for rewards, class helpers, and etc. i put positive quotes on the side in plastic pockets with magnet strips on the back, one drawer is snacks in a sterlite container, one drawer is for items for the calm corner fidgets, flash cards, sensory bottles, and etc), and I have a drawer with all kinds if essentials close at hand (lotion, kleenex, gloves, wipes, hygiene suff, a mirror, and more). I put contact paper inside to make the bottom beautiful. The bottom drawer is my cardstock or copy paper stash.

[@laurie8883]

It's a great room! Modern! Love the cubbies for the kids. Drinking fountain too! A lot of potential! Have fun settling in and making it your home away from home!

[@jasminakochanowicz1007]

Aww, this is making me emotional. I watched you since ive been a little happy girl, all the way through my dark high school years and now aw a happy young woman❤ i used to rewatch your teaching vlogs so much, im sooo happy to see this!!!

[@ericah4232]

I’m so excited to watch you figure it all out and work through it! So excited for all the new classroom vlogs!! I’m calling this Pocketful of Primary Season 3!

[@cass121983]

Exciting! Thank you for the tour!

[@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION]

I have been watching your channel since 2016 and I am so excited and happy for you! Welcome back to the classroom.

[@s.s.8029]

How exciting! I can't wait to see what you do with it. I've begun this process with my own classroom. The unexpected double sided shelf is a nice surprise!

[@lisasavage8355]

Congratulations on your new classroom!

[@nenacbarnes7012]

So excited! looking forward to seeing the setup. Welcome back to the classroom, Michelle.

[@curthartman4735]

Can’t wait to see the final room setup - so exciting! Thanks for taking us along on your journey. I get giddy when I see a new video has dropped. -Kristen

[@Bethsbeautydiary]

I love how there are backpack hooks under the student cubbies and the double sided book shelf! Congratulations and welcome back to the classroom! You’re going to do great! ❤

[@theknittingrev]

I've been watching you since 2017 and cannot wait to see you thrive this year!

[@ryanhelton1865]

Hi, I just wanted to mention something about your flat panel. It might be a good idea to consider placing it in a corner since it's on wheels. This will help keep it out of the way and reduce the risk of tripping hazards as they’ve been known to be a big problem. In some more serious cases it’s caused the board to somehow fall completely. I believe In the UK, it's now illegal to have these boards on wheels in an educational setting because of this reason so they need to be installed on a wall over there, I'm not sure if the same rule applies in the US I don’t think it does, but it's better to be safer than sorry, especially around small children.

[@afton2117]

So excited to see you back in the classroom! Those are some lucky kiddos to have you!

[@mntalerico]

I love seeing you back in the classroom!

[@JackTMP_]

So excited this brings back childhood memories watching you set up your classroom

[@lisanungester3003]

Love your room! Nice storage and size! Looking forward to your set up videos. I’m a third grade teacher. Going in tomorrow to finish my room. We’re on the clock starting Friday‼️‼️love your enthusiasm!

[@nuviamar1]

am happy for you, wishing you best🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@deniececurnel1352]

your room looks so cool I love your videos

[@jstonefire4750]

Your wheeled table is broken, be careful! I'm excited to see what you make of the space!

[@Jlyric22]

So excited to see it come together! I am going into my second year of teaching 3rd grade and I will also be at a new school in a new classroom that I'll need to set up! Seeing your room is getting me so excited to go see mine soon!!!

[@firefly930]

So excited for you! I can't wait to see the set up!

[@taylorcaitlyn4069]

YAY! Can't wait for set up vlogs!! :)

[@karenkollmer]

❤️. I think they gave you a kinder room.

[@jackalex]

Yay! So excited to see the classroom setup vlog! 🤍

[@dougcruthis2701]

I am about to start empty classroom set up number 7 in 11 years. I have been junior high for the past 10 years and moving to 3rd Grade for the first time. I have ideas, but still nervous on the set up and purge of materials not needed. I can not wait to see the set up and ideas that it adds to my room.

[@TeacherKellyTag]

Great to see you so excited about your classroom

[@jamiesmith2762]

Your room is so nice!!! Lots of storage!! Do not buy the holder pieces for the shelving. Talk to your building custodians/maintenance first because they usually have some.

[@dmbalsam]

Classroom nice and clean and empty.

[@loriegibson4341]

I’m so glad to see your joy for this new chapter of your life! That will make such a difference in your classroom! I know this from my 34 years in my own classroom! I’ve been with you since the days with “Knuckles”, and I know you will be such a blessing to the students you will have this year!!! I’m excited to take this journey with you!

[@navyblue234]

You're lucky, every time I have moved into a new classroom I've had to clean it out first.

[@wendlit]

Great initial thoughts! 😃👍⭐️

[@RitaBaumann]

The right leg of the table on wheels looks broken. Be careful.

[@oophelia46]

I like the colors in your room!

[@johnny_tra]

I’ve been waiting for this.🎉🎉🎉

[@victoriaLL345]

[@pattidavis8043]

[@michellemp1626]

Yay!!!!!!!

[@Sarahr98998]

So excited for this!!

[@nuviamar1]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats

[@DiValenz145]

Thanks for the share! This looks like a newer school...recently built. Do they not include closets anymore? I am teaching in a one year old school. We have no closets. We have two large cabinets, a bookshelf, and two rolling storage carts. I've taught at schools where the closets were HUGE! They had nice shelves in them as well. Miss those! I had to PURGE sooooooo much because I simply did not have the space. I can't wait to see the transformation of this room. ~diane

[@Maren_Mcclellan]

Please tell me you’ll be doing monthly class vlogs I love watching ur old ones I’ve been watching ur old ones for a month. Lol

[@NickiH01980]

Yay🎉🎉🎉

[@nunyabidness2861]

Sterilite stopped making the latch boxes. I have no idea what I'm going to do now.

[@JoshuaHatch-jm3lf]

will you be doing a classroom tour when your finished

[@veram8547]

I can’t to see how you organize your room.

[@mirandabruning3953]

I'll be following along all the way. I'll be having 2 classrooms this years I will teach year 1 and 4🤦‍♀️. So new classroom for year 4 as I've been teaching 1 for 8 years. HELP!!

[@Karen3263]

❤❤❤

[@sofiakarim2978]

❤

[@533134]

So the tables are the student’s desks?

[@Nanavette2005]

Are there any bulletin boards?

[@jessiemadanat5455]

wow he room is small and not a lot of natural light but if anyone can make the most of it it's you.

[@katherinemarek2926]

When does school start in Texas?

[@haleytyrrell9609]

What grade are you teaching this year, Michelle?

[@Jaydebeth]

Why is your interactive board so short!?

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

You can raise and lower it!

[@noracuevas1834]

What grade and subject are you teaching?

[@justinsistarelli1817]

What grade are you teaching

[@PeskyMess]

Wait… I thought you left the classroom?…

[@I-should-go-outside]

When do the children come back? It should be criminal for teachers to start preparing in July if you don't start until September. And yes I'm exaggerating but you need your rest.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Teachers start back on August 5th and students start back on August 13th!

[@I-should-go-outside]

@PocketfulofPrimary ah sorry that is perfectly reasonable then. Why do your kids go back so early. I thought September was standard in all western countries
