Classroom Set Up Part 2 #highschoolteacher #highschoolmathteacher #highschoolmath #classroomsetup
#behindthescene #secondaryteacher
This is part 2 of my classroom set up. It may not look like I accomplished a lot, but when you are moving into a new classroom, there are SO many things to do before you can get to the fun decorative stuff!!!
I was able to get most of the boxes out of my basement (YAY!!). Now to get everything organized. I still have to talk with the other teacher using the classroom to figure everything out, but I am feeling good about what I have done so far.

This was a short day, but I went in not really knowing how much storage I would have in the room. I will be in this room 5 periods and another teacher will be in the room 3 periods. I will be in another math classroom 1 period, and will have a cubical in the math/science office for my plan periods. This is going to be a HUGE change for me, but I am excited about this next chapter!! ✼ SUBSCRIBE ...

Copiers being out as the school year starts is the literal worst.
I agree! Thankfully one of the copiers had toner the next day so I wan able to get a few things done 😊
Small steps and it will all get done. Hope you can get an office space assigned and find a working copier!
I have to keep reminding myself that I won't have it all 100% done by the start of the year, and that's ok!! Thankfully I was given a desk and found a working copier 🎉
Which areas seem to be the most popular with your students?
It really depends on the kids. Some kids LOVE the couch area while others really hate it. The same goes for the tall table. Many of my short kids don't like the tall table. I would say the plastic stools are the least desired choice, and kids will often say "I need something with a back because I need back support." I am not sure how much of that is because they just want to slouch and how much is because they really need it haha!
wow
I want to buy it.
Unfortunately, the sale is over for the year. Check back next July for information about the new Bundles!
Do you make use of screen recording ma’am to capture the video while solving problems?
I do not screen record while teaching. If I want to make a video for my students, I use the app ExplainEverything (it may also be called ExplainEDU).
Thank you for sharing your class flow! We have 50 minute periods so I would say that the timing for various things is about half of yours, of course. I like the idea of the sticky note graphs. Interested to hear when you come up with a homework turn-in solution for Chromebooks. Our students use those too!
I have taught on a variety of class times - 75, 50, and 90. I honestly liked the 50 minute periods best only because I saw the kids every day and didn't feel like I had to rush as much to get everything in! How do you handle homework in your class? I LOVED having my students turn in their homework as a PDF from their iPads! I know students can take pictures with their Chromebook, but I am not sure I want to go that route.
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath right now, students have their homework out at the beginning of class and I walk up and down the aisles. I take perhaps 2 minutes. It's a completion grade. Usually 10 problems or fewer. If all are attempted and work is shown, 5 pts. 3 pts for halfway. 1 pt for no work shown, just answers. If you can come up with a virtual turn in for Chromebooks, I'll probably copy that!!
That is how I used to check homework before my students had iPad, and it probably the way I will check homework. I may change my mind after talking with other math teachers in my department to see how they handle homework. I will be sure to update on how I deal with homework sometime during the school year!
💖💖💖
How to buy them from Bangladesh?
You should be able to click the link in the description to be taken to the page. The bundle is a digital download, so there is no shipping of any physical products.
I love smaller desks...give me more class space.
I never thought about it that way, but you are so correct!!!
What planner do you use?
I use the Big Teacher Planner from Happy Planner 💕
Thanks for sharing ❤
This is seriously the BEST deal! Before contributing to it, I would purchase it so I was sure I had a variety of resources to pull from all year long 💕
It must feel rewarding to watch this in fast motion...lol 😄
It is! If only it went this fast in real life 😂
What kind of bag is it?
It is called The Teacher Tote (theteachertote.com)
Hi. Since you teach different types of math , how do you keep your learning targets to date . For example , if you teach algebra then on the board will have the objective , standard etc . Then the next class is Geometry, how do you get a chance to change the learning targets for the next class ?
Great question! I have slides that I put up when kids walk into the room. There are different sections on the slide (Do Now, I Can, Today, Meme of the Day, Upcoming Dates). I have a different side for each subject, and this is where I put their learning targets (we call them "I Can" statements). If you watch any of my Day in the Life videos, I typically show them and have a link to the one I use.
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks . Do you keep those slides visible all throughout class ? I know admins like to suddenly appear in class and they want to see all of it listed
@@stacyr4768 I do not. My admin knows this is how I post them and can share the slides with them if they want to see them. Having 3 different courses that I teach and one whiteboard, there is no way to have all of this up all the time. I would definitely talk to your admin and see if this a possibility for you. I used to have a list of the standards above my board, and would Velcro a start on the standard I was working on that day, but after moving classrooms, I decided to use the slides instead.
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks
seriously love your timelapses :)
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing . What did you implement to stick the labels on the drawer and did you laminate the labels ?
I laminated the labels first, then just used tape to stick them to the drawers. Even with my move, they have held on strong!!
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks , do you suggest any specific type of tape ?
I just used regular scotch tape - probably an off brand as my school didn't buy anything name brand 😂 I imagine double sided tape would work well too!!
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath Thanks
Congratulations on cleaning out your classroom- what a challenge! 🎉
I had SERIOUS doubts I would be able to finish in one week, but thanks to my daughter, we got it done! I hope to start moving things into my new classroom soon.
I was worried you were leaving for good! I was unsure if you were leaving teaching completely or just moving schools. Keep up the vids! I am a (potentially) aspiring math teacher :) (31NB)
Just moving schools. I don't intend on leaving teaching, and I truly LOVE it! Despite all of the negativity you might heave about teaching, it still is a great profession. If you do decide to go into teaching, I wish you the best.
keep up the amazing timelapses :)
There should be more coming as I am able to get into my new classroom(s) and set up for the new school year 💕
Kate… good choice. When your job becomes a drain on your enthusiasm… it’s time to move on to a whole different job. I too have faced this… after 22 years, I changed from one company that didn’t respect or utilize my skill set, to one that was desperate to utilize them to their fullest. After 15 years of molding that company into a world class manufacturer, the company sold out. New management was interested in cutting costs rather than pursuing excellence. Their policy changes overrode many of the programs I had implemented. It actually made them appear to be moot. So, I stuck with that job for the last year. During which, I spent my time developing a Consulting business that would allow me to Monkey Branch out. The next seven years were the most personally and financially rewarding of my career. And, the cherry on the top was when the first company that I left called me to come back as a Management Consultant and trainer. My old bosses and co-workers were now my clients and students. I’ve been retired for nearly four years now and I still get calls to answer questions and teach certain subjects. I’m glad that I found your channel and am happily subscribing. I want to wish you all the luck that I can. Please keep me in the loop through updates that you post. PS: great job explaining the politics and ramifications without snark and bitterness. That’s pure class!
Welcome to my channel! It really was a tough decision, and I already missing those I worked closest with, but I know it will be better in the long run. I have no ill will towards the school or the people, and if changes are made, I could see myself going back years from now. But for now, I have made peace with my decision and am ready for my next adventure.
All true, doing some research for a non-fiction book, reply if you'd like to be interviewed
I would defiantly be interested in learning more about the book you are writing.
Love the background noise of birds! Excited for what the future holds for you! Thanks for sharing!
I am glad the bird noise was not a distraction. I would love to film more outside!!!
Very excited for your new future! 🎉Bird sounds in background are lovely !❤
Thank you!
Hi Kate! I am excited for you. I also moved up to be the Pre-Calculus and Calculus teacher this school year. So I anticipate seeing your journey and recommendations. There is not a college credit/calculus community of vlogging teacher on RUclips. So glad you are the one to get inspiration from. Are you preparing anything prior to school starting? If so can you share in a vlog? Congrats on your new role.
Congratulations on moving up to teach PreCalc and Calculus! I will definitely continue sharing my journey as I move into my new school. I have spent some time over the summer looking over the material for my school school. Thankfully PreCalculus is PreCalculus no matter where you teach (for the most part), so I don't have a ton of work to do. I have been working on creating new resources for my students, so we aren't using the book the entire time. I will be sharing more information about an amazing math deal on Tuesday (7/23), so be on the lookout for that!
Congratulations on the new position! I understand having those mixed feelings about a job you have loved for so long. I taught for 8 years in a K8 Catholic school, and I loved the students and staff. When I reached the point where there was no room for growth as a teacher, we started looking at areas closer to family. I ended up an amazing middle school teaching much more of what I want and having opportunities for growth professionally. May your new position bring great things to you!
Thank you so much! I am happy to hear that moving schools was a positive thing for you.
Where did you get that ti charm!? Do you find it easy to clean?
TI-Calculator actually sent me the charm 💕 The bag is VERY easy to clean!!
I love math
Apology cakes to teachers were going around TikTok. That's probably why you got them.
haha! I should have knows it came from TikTok!!!
Ahah! Just after I asked this question on another video, I saw this one. I bet all my questions will be answered 😊
If me know if you have other questions! I would be happy to answer them for you. I also have a blog post about how to go over homework. You can read that here: www.katedeanmath.com/2024/05/ideas-for-going-over-homework.html
I have a question for you about how you handle homework. Right now, I walk the room to make sure the homework has been completed. It takes about a minute. 5 points if there is work shown and an answer attempted for every problem. 3 points if you did half the problems or so. 1 point if I only see that one or two are done. I project the answers on the board after the Bell we go over them briefly and then move into the lesson. If there are questions, I'll answer. This often takes more time than I want. This year we would like to do the function of the day warm up as the do now and I'm not sure how to carve out the 5 minutes it'll take. How do you handle homework review / grades?
By the way, this is for algebra I. :)
After watching my homework video, please let me know if you have other questions! I would love to start a homework discussion.
Congrats on finishing the year. I just discovered your channel and it's so interesting to me! I teach middle school algebra which feels like halfway between middle school and high school. I like seeing how you run your day and set up your classroom. Looking forward to hear about whatever changes are coming up!
Welcome to my channel! I am glad you are enjoying the videos you have watched so far. If there is anything you would like to see as a video, feel free to leave a comment or email me at hello@katedeanmath.com and I can work on a new video.
I love the variety of seating options that you have. So fun!
This has been my absolute favorite part of my classroom for the past 5 years! Even the kids who HATE math say they don't dread coming into the classroom because at least the seating is comfortable.
That’s very creative
Hi Kate. Where did you get those "pi"rate math buttons? Please share as my school's mascot are pirates.
I won them from a Facebook giveaway. I wish I knew where they got them from!!!
This is really awesome! I need to set up a calendar like this for my classes as well. Would you share how did you set it up? Thanks
Love the happy planners on the shelf in the intro. I’m a happy planner as well.
I LOVE my Happy Planners!!! I have been using them since 2015 when they first came out 💕
Hi Kate, thanks for the vids! I hear so many bad things about teaching. After 17 years, what's your take on it? Would you choose it all over again? Thanks :)
Thank you for your comment. I would absolutely pick teaching again!! There are definitely some bad things about teaching, but there are amazing things as well. I do think a big part of it is finding the school that is right for you. But that really goes with most jobs, a toxic work environment is not good for anyone.
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath thanks for the reply! I work for the Australian Gov and thinking about going back to Uni to become one. The profession doesn’t get a good wrap here though. I love your passion for it though ☺️ thanks for all you do!
Hi Kate! Do you use Geogebra while your teaching geometric solid?
I have not used Geogebra in a LONG time! It was an huge part of one of my college classes so I am very familiar with it.
They look look so awesome. Great job!!! Way to make geometry fun!
Thank you 🤗
Shane I am learning right now what are you doing for me?
i would love to see a video on your classroom management (like expectations for behavior, late work policies, etc) i’m about to enter my final internship for my teaching degree and classroom management is something im a bit iffy on still!
Thank you for the suggestion. I will work on a video talking about this. I do have a video where I talk about my homework expectations.
Great video! 👏
Thank you.
I really hope schools keep textbooks. I think digital is ok but nothing beats books.
I completely agree! I have been pushing to get textbooks, but the decision makers disagree.
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath ugh! I hear ya! My daughters middle school science teacher told me that Google was their class resource. 🤦♀️
Kids don't seem to retain what they learn nowadays. I teach 5th grade and the majority of my kiddos don't seem to learn their time stable which delays their ability to multiply multi-digit numbers, long division, fractions, etc
I completely agree!! We are seeing the same at the high school. Students feel like there is no point in learning because they can just google the answer. They can't even remember the formula for the area of a triangle or circle, and we are using those DAILY right now. They have to look it up every time I ask.
She posted!
I’m interested in a video on how you structured your canvas course/tabbed calendars.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will work on a video over the next few weeks over Canvas and my homepage calendar.
Are school colors are blue and gold too!
Love your videos
Thank you so much! If there are any specific videos you would like to see let me know.
Thanks for the video, am a Maths teacher too I just subscribe to your RUclips channel. Please what is the name of the software
I use the app PDF Viewer on my iPad to annotate notes for students. The software I use to project my iPad is called AirServer. This was bought by my district, so I don't have any information about it.
rly helpful video. even learned something 😅
