[@teacherof20]

Timestamp 9:42 perk of having kids when youre a teacher is all the stuff you get to bring to your classroom after they grow out of it 😂❤

[@bridgettquinlan3249]

Awesome organization! Thanks for sharing. I love all the built in cabinets. We start class on Wednesday. I wish you a great start to your year!

[@karynwilbur5516]

Love the tour of your classroom! I am SO jealous at all the storage you have and especially by the fact that you have 3 corners in your classroom! I have a door on every corner which makes setting up my room so challenging!

[@jeanniebundy1543]

Lots of great ideas. I knew there would be because that's how Susan Jones does things. You rock! Thank you for your consistency and always sharing ideas to help others.

[@AriSaidso]

Thank you for explaining your organization and planning for the new teaching year ahead. These videos really help a-lot with my teacher planning and giving ideas for lessons.

[@LynnKaralis]

Oh. My. Goodness!! That was amazing! Thank you for taking the time to show us everything! I got LOTS of great ideas! Thank you very much!!

[@MiaIsMissingInAction]

27:52 the look on hubby’s face made me LOL. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful tidbits. I use so much of your stuff. YOU ROCK!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

hahaha he's wondering when he can be done with all the set up!

❤❤❤

[@marshfabulousfirstgraders]

Thanks for always bringing us along to your room! Love watching the weekly videos.

[@suzanneawtrey6346]

Thank you so much Susan! I can’t wait for your video on WIN time.

[@andrewharald]

Hello 👋

[@sherylvanlaningham4357]

Thank you for another great video! I look forward to these every Sunday morning. THANK YOU!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Thank YOU for watching and joining along!! Makes it feel like I am actually talking to someone in my videos lol!

[@rayvictorialee2795]

One of my boy’s k teacher used those book bags as take home book(s) baggies. She put a reading log in there as well.

[@kristenmcween5244]

So ready for this new school year!!🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@kristynalheim3204]

I love this video. Trying to find the online planning video you spoke about in the video. I would love to be more organized with my digital plans. Where is this video?

[@andrewharald]

Hi 👋

[@catworld8119]

I thank you for providing a beautiful, bright, cheerful atmosphere for the children. I'm a retired first grade teacher and see so many of the classrooms in brown and black. Some even cover the walls with black fabric. So stark and depressing for young children, in my opinion. Do your students bring any supplies from home? I taught in a Title One school and would have loved having all of the extra materials from year to year. I'd spend much of my own money for kid's basic necessities through the year. The little amount of money teachers received for supplies had to be for construction paper, copy paper, basic office supplies.

[@teacherof20]

I was thinking the same about the bright cheerful classroom ❤❤

[@janetvillalobos5817]

Hello, great ideas and tour. Thanks! Question: where did you get your writing folders. I love putting resources inside reference. I’m loving the outside pockets where you keep your cups sheet.

[@andrewharald]

Hey

[@shannonriccio3561]

Do you have a video where you go over how you keep and organize your student data binder?

[@andrewharald]

Hello

[@djthereplay]

Looking pretty Susan. I enjoy your classroom videos. Please keep them coming. - Dwight

[@JodiWilkinson-r6z]

Where are the small round containers for additional fundations sounds from?

[@Mrs.MenaStorytime]

I need all the things! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@lottabailey9904]

Love the mailbox idea❤❤❤

[@AmyKnutowski]

I love the number 10 frame posters that you had up but pulled down to introduce one at a time. Where can I find that resource?

[@Paliqueen1999]

Hey, I love your writing folder. Where did you get the foundation worksheet?

[@violetswanee4559]

HI Susan, Could you add the link for the clear crayon box containers? I love the idea and how they fit into these pencil boxes. I use this type of pencil box and I love them!

[@storytimewithdrsara]

You are so organized. How do you like foundations with the phonics and Science of Reading integration?

[@Emm-e4l]

Thank you for the ideas! Where did you get your intervention station organizer? I looked in the Really Good Stuff website but didn’t find it. It’s the perfect size. I need one!

[@AngieShort-ds3ru]

Can you share your labels that you use to organize? Can I find them in the clubs somewhere? Thank you!

[@amandawatkins2137]

Where did you get your sharp and dull pencil containers?

[@andrewharald]

Hi there

[@rhiannonthompson4428]

Susan, I really hope you are able to reply and let me know where you got the white folders you use for writing folders. You keep them in an orange bin. TIA!

[@cathyragusa1349]

Do you have the schedule cards available anywhere? Also, I love the intervention organizer shelves and bins. Is that Really Good Stuff? Thank you for all your wonderful videos! :)

[@KathrynMinerva]

You are amazing! Love all that you do! I was wondering if you do skill groups for reading (we are moving away from leveled readers and more into skills) would love to see you in action with showing skill groups for reading!! Thank you for all you do!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

@@KathrynMinerva yes ALL my groups are skills-based groups! We only introduce a leveled reader in the second half of the year and only once per week. By this point students can decode most of the words in the texts!

[@kerriandreshak2219]

You bought the same bulletin board border that I have! 😊 It looks so cheery!

[@teacherof20]

I love it!! 😍

[@toris1659]

Thanks for the tour!

[@AngelaSalierno-j5j]

I also have a collection of intervention supplies for my classroom. I would like to add the gel pads you mentioned. Where can I get those? I checked on amazon and could not find it. Maybe it is called something else. If you could please add the link so I can purchase them, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

[@KortneyPope-White]

Do you have a link to the "I can spell heart words" page that you put in the writing folder? Thank you!

[@karensunstein109]

We are going into our third year using CKLA. If you end up adopting that curriculum, I’m interested in seeing how you implement and organize materials

[@lynn-ow6zw]

Where did you get the pencil holders from they r cute!?

[@gcobisayolixhamntwana5564]

Nice classroom i love it🎉

[@kortneypope9324]

Can you show us an example of what is in the writing folder more closely? Thanks!

[@marawilliamson9911]

Do you like fundations/can you do a video on it? I teach 2nd grade and my school adopted it last year and did a terrible job teaching it to us and I can not wrap my brain around it 😅

[@MrLehigh333]

Would you be willing to share what some of your favorite books are for this age range? I’m a parent who’s been following you and so appreciate that there are teachers like you doing amazing things for kids.

[@pamhall3464]

Can you share where you got the containers for the task activities?

[@kimberlydickison8890]

I love your classroom! You are amazing! Do you sell your find the fish game in your tpt store? Looking forward to your next video!!!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

I do have a find the fish game in my Number Sense Unit, but I am thinking of making a free generic one where you can edit whatever skills you need!

[@teacherof20]

This is awesome! I would love this. ❤

[@jillsisepi]

Hi Susan this question has absolutely nothing to do with your classroom organisatin lol but never the less a worthy question. What systems do you have/use for behaviour management .

[@helycolina5622]

Where can I find the floor numbers?

[@wendlit]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@aswanics]

15:30 could you tell me what the writing folder is… what is the supply you use to put all of the pages in?

[@jenclausen4155]

I second this; curious about the writing folders.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Yes! I will try to make a short video about it for IG or TikTok showing what's inside - but it is what we use to store our writing within each genre. I just put a page with each students' name at the front and it is a 2-pocket folder for students to store their work. The sleeves in the middle let me put in things like that sound wall and heart word sheet for students to reference when writing. I also put the CUPS editing checklist at the end for them to check their work. After each writing genre, we empty folders and take everything home!

[@colleenvala6205]

@@SusanJonesTeaching I wondered about these, too. Are the clear pocket sleeves just stapled together?

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

@@colleenvala6205 good question! No, it’s a 4 pocket folder from Nickys. They’re expensive - our district bought them for us, but it’s essentially a 2 pocket folder but with 2 clear plastic sleeves inside

[@CristinaRodrigues-n2y]

@@SusanJonesTeaching I love the resources for the writing folder. Where could I find the sound wall and heart word sheet for each folder?

[@msdeana11]

Doesn't your school have you send old curriculum to the district warehouse? We are doing that with our old math curriculum. We are now using iReady. I see you use Fundations for phonics. I use that too.
