Ahh this makes me SO excited to be a teacher and have my own classroom to transform one day!!!!
:) :) :) You will have so much fun!
it makes me nervous 😂
I just can't get over how amazing your handwriting is!
Oh my! Thank you!
That stone wall is EVERYTHING! Love how it turned out. Your room is coming together. The authentic Harry Potter pages are a nice touch lol. Can't wait to watch more and see the finished result :)
Thank you so much! Yes! I'm looking forward to doing a tour like my Kindergarten room!

Can I just give you a hug right now!? Best. Quote. Ever. You are amazing!
Haha! Hugs are always welcome! Thank you! Just couldn't get it out of my head throughout the video!
I've just discovered your channel and am so glad I did. Your classroom is amazing! You are so creative. I used that same stone wall paper a few years ago when I had a medieval theme in my classroom. I used it to make a castle wall with turrets. Something else I've done is a stage. Several years ago I purchased red fabric and made drama curtains that hung from floor to ceiling in my classroom. (Two side panels and a valance) You could do this around your white board (or the center of it). The curtains didn't operate, but they definitely made a statement! Anytime we needed a stage, we moved the desks away from that area and used the floor as a stage. We even used painters tape or duck tape to mark off a stage on the floor for our more serious productions. The kids loved it. An added bonus is that it looks great in pics! Hope this helps. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished room. Have a fantastic year!
I'm a French English teacher and these vlogs have made me want to go back to school so badly ! I envy your decoration, you take classroom decorating to the next level ! I wish I had a room to make my room. Sometime soon, hopefully ! Keep up the good work !
Thank you so much for the kind comments! And Thank you for watching!
Your son and husband are absolutely amazing!
Hey! I would love to see a separate vid about how you plan out your classroom before you go in to set up. The room is coming together nicely as always!!
I agree. that would be helpful to see
I'm so jealous! Our principal is a minimalist, and we're very limited as to what we can/cannot do with decor. I would give ANYTHING do go all out with an HP classroom. I even have an idea in my head dividing the walls by houses. All I can get away with is a character trait wall which we use to sort characters into the four houses with a picture, trait, and definition. Looks great!
What a beautiful classroom. You were definitely creating an inviting learning environment. Setting up a classroom is so much work. I enjoyed watching your video because it showed the reality of what happens behind the scenes. Yes, setting up a classroom sometimes becomes a family project. It involves days and days of work, clean-up, and beautiful surprises. You have inspired me to change my bulletin boarders to something new and unexpected.
In my first teaching contract, I used black plastic rectangular table clothes ($1 at Walmart). They lasted the whole year without any rips or tears. Fabric is great if you know you are staying in the same room and will want to reuse the same colours and get the colour you want for cheap (again tablecloths or flat sheets). I've also known teachers who paint their bulletin boards. That looks great, but apparently can take 2-3 coats depending on the quality and colour of the paint. Also, built up layers of paint can make it hard to get staples and tacks to stick in the board.
You could dye the burlap navy blue for that last bulliten board. Then it wouldnt blend in and it will match with everything else. :)
I love this idea!
+The Lettered Classroom whar is your school I love your class room I hope your class loves you this year have fun teaching
It looks AWESOME!!! The kids are going to love it!! It's such a warm and cozy looking classroom -- well done :)
I love it!! Your students are so lucky to have such an exciting place to learn with you as their teacher!
Kids come on the 16th but we go back a week early for training and planning this Monday! Goodbye vacation. Thanks for your tips of how to prepare for back to school!
I am IN LOVE with your Harry Potter theme! Those books & movies were a huge part of my childhood. I'm currently a sophomore elementary education major & once I transfer after this coming year I'll add on a literacy minor. I also hope to squeeze in an ELL certification & special education endorsement. What you'll be teaching this year is my dream. But with the littles. I'm not quite sure how I stumbled upon your channel, but I could watch your videos all day. Thanks for giving a future teacher some tips & making me look forward to teaching even more. 😊
Great classroom set up! Thanks for sharing. The wall looks amazing!
Thank you so much!
Looks amazing!!! You make it look so homey. Can't wait to see the end result!
Girl, I LOVE your videos!!! How do you have the energy you do?!? It's GREAT!!!! The HP theme is perfect! Keep on sharing!!😄
Your to-do list is so important. I've started making one AS I'M FINISHING FOR THE DAY so I know where to start back when I return!
Brilliant! 😘
Wow awesomeeee, I'm sure your students will love it. I adore your stone wall.
Really enjoyed watching your classroom set-up videos. Your room is looking beautiful! Love what you have done to it so far. The brick wall was a big task, but at the end all the hard work you put into putting it up was all worth it. It looks beautiful. You have great help. Can't wait to see once your classroom is completely finished. You are going to make it look amazing. You are such a hoot to watch. I enjoy watching your vlogs and all the great advice and ideas you give us.
I'm not a teacher so I was wondering...
Do most teachers put this much thought and work into setting up their classrooms? I think it is so awesome and it really shows how much you love your job and care for your students!
Thank you so much! I can't really speak to that but I do put a lot of effort in to my passion! Thank you for watching!
This will be my first year teaching 4th grade. I was looking for some classroom ideas and WOW , I'm officially super overwhelmed. I have nothing! Great job, I love the theme.
Thank you so much! Check back at some of my older videos, I did a "New Teacher Must Haves". Hopefully, that will help you decide what to focus on. It really is impossible to do it all in the first year.
It's so great to see how much time you've put into your classroom. You are such an awesome teacher! Sending lot's of love from South Africa.
Thank you so much! So cool to hear from people all over the world!!
I love how your family is so supportive. My husband and son went with me one day and they were exhausted and gave up. :)
Aww...yes they were very tired as well. With moving and setting up the classroom, we are all ready for a (semi)relaxing weekend!
You can use those ottoman storage things as a chair for you during your small group activities! If you have a table back there, you would need a chair and those would be functional!
I go back on Monday, August 8. The students come back on August 17! Your classroom looks great!!
I am a first year teacher teaching 4th grade dual language!! So excited to have found your channel, my first day for students is September 8th!
4th grade Yay!! Hope you find some helpful tips and inspiration!
I can't wait for me to get my classroom after summer
I love the book pages as your border! Awesome!
LOVE the room! Maybe you could use those patterned boxes with the dry erase stuff in them right in front of your yellow chairs as footrests/stools!
I seriously want to go back in time now to being a fourth grader just so I can sit in this classroom!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your room Bridget! Please keep these vlogs coming!I love watching your experience as teacher as I am an aspiring one myself! Also, i just love your family too. Your boys are so cute and sweet and what an awesome husband you have for all the help he has done! God bless your family and your journey! Keep the videos coming!
Awwwwww..... Thank you! I gave the best little family ever and am beyond grateful for their support!!!!
Looooooooooove! The colors are awesome and the HP paper border is brilliant!
Yayy! Thank you so much!
this class room looks just outstanding that's all I can say !!!!!! :)
Wow, looks awesome! The wallpaper is cool. Love the emphasis on making choices too. Nice work!
I am so happy with the wallpaper and the word of the year! Can't wait for the year to start!
You're incredibly lucky to be able to do this in your classroom. My principal doesn't even let us keep a pot of pens on the teacher's desk or rearrange the desks, let alone have a beautiful setup like this :(
I love your enthusiasm! Your room is really coming along. :) I'm not a fan on the book pages as a border. I realize it is a cool idea, but it doesn't show respect for books, (my opinion) , I think the rest of the borders look awesome. You're very creative. You are an inspiring teacher. Thank you for sharing. :) I think the idea of the "brick" around the big blue board may look a little bit better, even a "half-brick." I'm sure you will make it beautiful! Your future students are blessed to have you as their teacher. Have a great year.
August 24th here too. Love your room!
I think a great idea would be to let the students decorate and set up the classroom once they start school. It could be a project to teach them that it's their home also and if they take part in the set up they would feel more involved and you will have more helpers!
I love the idea behind your comment! I may try that next year, but I don't think I can wait this year! Too much going on right now...I would stress out about it. I may save a few small projects and see how it goes. Great idea!
Your room is looking great!
I've only seen a couple of your videos but I really love them :)
In Norfolk, Virginia pre service week starts August 29 & the students return on September 6.
Hope you have an amazing first day of teaching & learning! Your room is turning out amazing! 🍎📚📎✏️✂️
Thank you so much! You too!
YES! I'm doing HP in my classroom too!
Love these videos-very motivating! I always wanted to try a HP room!
I am a first year teacher! My first day of class is August 25th and I hope that my room can look as put together as yours one day lol. Unfortunately I'm still on that student teaching budget so I don't have as many resources as I'd like. But hopefully I can get a feel for the new room during this school year and do something fun to it next year! Your channel is very helpful and entertaining. Keep up the good work and good luck with your new class!
Oh my yes, you will accumulate things over the years. It has taken me 5 years to get to this point, so there is no rush! I did a video on my New Classroom must Haves! - This might give you some ideas! Thanks for watching!! ruclips.net/video/hWMj0cph0ZQ/видео.html
I LOVE how your classroom is coming along! I head back to school on August 9th, with the kids starting on August 10th! 😀
Thank you so much! And Congrats on the first day back! How did it go?
It went well. I am ready for tomorrow! 😀
Your classroom looks amazing! I love the idea of different seating. I'm sure you'll be allowing them to have a "choice" in where they sit. haha
;) Exactly! I'm so excited to get the year started!
I am about to start a long-term sub job in September.The teacher I am subbing for is going on maternity leave. I am also super excited! Any advice you would give me? I believe in one of your videos you mentioned having a long term sub.
With great pleasure to watch, as you put into practice their ideas. Good luck! From Russia with love.
Thank you so much!
Looks great!!! I love the book page border!
Thanks!
If you have any of the Navy sheet left it will tie in well as a boarder for the tan bulletin board.
I love that back wall
Nice classroom!! Does the 'choice' represent anything in particular? Hope the school yr is going well for you and your class. Loving your channel🙌🏽
You might be able to find blue burlap ribbon at a craft store. I think Michael's carries them that would work with your tan writing center bulletin board.
Hi Bridget, I have just watched your latest vlog, but I can't comment on it. Just wondering what your display is with all the sticky notes. Love seeing your videos on the displays in your room and how you organise the centres etc. Thanks. Hope you are feeling more 'together' soon. Making changes is always tricky. The kids are very lucky to have you as a teacher and your room looks AMAZING! Ta, Lea
I want to live in your classroom! So good!
You know I was your first Subbie, right?!?!
Your classroom looks absolutely amazing! Just as an FYI there is colored burlap, which you can find in craft stores/online, that can go around the smaller bulletin board where the writing corner will be.
Thanks..I'm going to look into it. But my budget is pretty much gone :(
+The Lettered Classroom dollar tree sells different colored burlap! 1 buckaroo a roll!
It looks fantastic. You have so many good ideas!
:) Thank you!!
love the video your white board came out very nice and maybe you could put the owl either on the door or in the small group area
You are fabulous!!!!! I be the other teachers are so jealous. You rock!!!!!
Aww..Thank you so much! Oh my, I hope not!
Loving your room, the space, and storage! I go back on Sept. 6, the students on the 7th. Did you draw your "Wheel of choice "? I saw it in your behavior management video and really like it. Thinking of using it in my 3rd grade class. I can't wait to hear what the kids think of your accent! I love listening to you with your Southern drawl. Enjoy the rest of your time off.
Yes I did draw my wheel. I will eventually add it to my store, but you are free to copy it :) Oh my, yes the accent discussion will be interesting! :)
Your room is coming together so well!
Thank you so much!!
I LOVE THAT WALL! !!
I feel like if you rip the pages you did for the border or ruffled it or put some on crooked and made it a little less neat it would look better
For your writing board you may think about using white sheer fabric and put it up like you did on the blue boards
Ok, so WHERE did you get your yellow/white chairs in your reading area? I also LOVE the square ottoman that you sit on. Pass along your secret to finding cool furniture!
Awesome walls. Have you considered spray painting the burlap blue so there is some contrast with the last beige bulletin board? I'm not sure how it would look but it is a thought. We start school the 22nd of August.
The room looks amazing! 💕
Thank you so much!
Woah! Your room looks amazing......I Can't believe how much you're allowed to do your walls...by the time we put up all our required posters there very little room and we aren't allowed to nail/staple anything to the walls just blue tack. (Australia)
Yes, I got very 'lucky' because my back walls were already damaged. I figured I would just ask and they said "Go For it!" Try and turn negatives into positives, Right?!
haha definitely! it all looks amazing!
PS - GREAT IDEAS.... you are amazing!
I love your yellow chairs! Where are they from?
Your classroom is adorable! I hope your students learn lots & make many happy memories this year!
They are actually custom chairs for display when I worked at Vera Bradley. When they would switch the displays around they would offer to sell them to employees!
What about wands for decorations? Nothing screams Harry Potter then wands? Just a idea for the classroom?
BEAUTIFUL!
What about old book bindings for the tan bulletin board area? Rip off and hot glue around? I am sure there are tons of super cheap older books at your local Salvation Army or Goodwill store that you could use. :) Go for blues and blacks and maybe a bit of a pop of red.....HTH
Very clever!
Love the rock wall! Could you hang the chalkboard with picture wire from the top of the bulletin board? My bulletin boards have a channel at the top that I can hook S-hooks too.
Yes! We are leaning towards leather straps but the same idea! I just NEED to get back in the school :)
Looks amazing! Great job!
Thank you so much!
Super creative ideas!
good luck setting up your classroom
For the writing area you should put actual pencils as the border and to even it at the corners put handheld sharpeners .. Or you could do feathers like a quill!
I, too, have a Harry Potter themed classroom. I have been planning to put the exact stone wall up that you have. From where did you purchase it? I can't find it anywhere!!! (Also, I am super jealous that you have windows in your classroom)
Hi Again! Thank you for responding to me... I've been busy setting up my classroom too. I had to move from one school to another one that IS AWESOME and I'm so lucky to get into this school. SO, I've been watching your videos, taking notes, GETTING INSPIRED, and laughing at how cute you are and how similar we are. I TOO, like to make lists, and after accomplishing something, add it to my list just to cross it off! HA! I am wanting to order your planner, but can I get the cover in my name. I would think so, but I didn't see how to edit that. Let me know... or do I need to go print it? I don't have the laminator or binding machine, so I need to either order your book or the Erin Caldrin (sp?) one... I just want to be super organized this year. I'm going from 3rd grade to 1st grade this year... I enjoyed my 3rd graders, but looking forward to the cute little kids this year. YAY! Did you ever teach 1st?
With my planner you can edit to cover with your name in either PowerPoint or Keyword. It is fairly simple. This year I only offer the digital download that you can have printed at Staples or a similar store. Many viewers have done this and Staples will laminate the cover and bind the book for you. Printing on 32# paper was about $22, I would think laminating and binding would be a few dollars more. Thank you so much for the support! I have only taught kindergarten to this point, this will be my first year in 4th grade!!! Yayy!!
How many days DID you get to prepare your room! The time is the Key. Looks very cool!
You might have already thought of this but since "choice" is your motto, you could put up a sign with Dumbledore's quote: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." Just an idea! :)
Yes! Tallis reminded me of this just yesterday, but thank you so much for the tip and comment! It is truly a perfect quote for my room!
Have you considered using the leftover navy fabric to border your writing area bulletin board (as a contrast and pull in the colors all around the room), instead of the burlap again?
Your room looks so good!
Thank you so much!
Once school starts will you do a day in the life of a teacher?
I will probably wait a few months...we will see. I would like to see how everything goes first. To be honest, I have no idea how it will go yet! :)
+The Lettered Classroom I know how it's going to go......it's going to go great!! Your room looks so inviting. 😊
Well done! Yet again! I notice the seating arrangement is very casual. Which I like. How do you assign seats daily? Is it open? Choice by students?
Yes! They have the 'Choice' as to were they sit each day. No assigned seating unless they lose the privilege.
I love it!!! 😍😍😍
Gosh, you're so cute! I love your style of clothes and how you decorated your classroom! Where is your necklace from?
Oh! And your dry erase maker bins! SUCH a good idea.
+Jenna Whitley 😂 I was a hot and nasty mess this day! My necklace is from Kendra Scott and the bins are from ikea. They are meant to hang on the polls??? 😬 but I didn't want to deal with all that.
That looks cool! My first day is August 9th.
How'd it go!?!?
+The Lettered Classroom really great! I love all my middle school crazies. 😀 hope yours goes well!
This is my husband's account but I'm the teacher here =) I loved all of your classroom, especially your walls. Where did you get it??
What state do you work in? You're so lucky to have this whole week to plan in your room!! I'm a teacher in Cali.. I've been at meetings this whole week... :(
thats day 4? looks like day 1 to me? Love the wall paper tho.
Your room looks amazing! Would you please explain how to use the sheets on the bulletin boards? Do you hang them with heavy duty staples or hot glue? Do you cut them with regular scissors or a different cutting tool? How do you switch them out for different holiday themes? When you hang things on them (such as student work) do you use push pins or staples? Thanks in advance for any additional insight you share! 😊
Yes I use used 5/16 staples. You can see my son coloring them in at the beginning of the video. I used a comination of both scissors and box cutters depending on the cut. Its unlikely that I will switch them out during the year, I will just decorate them. The front wall used about $20 in sheets...every penny counts. Yes, I will use standard push pins on the fabric. It should easily last all year! Thanks for watching!
*combination
Thank you! I totally saw your son coloring the staples but I couldn't process it because my old classroom walls were part cinder block/concrete and part tile. Hopefully, my new classroom will have drywall. I love the idea of not switching the fabric because it's difficult switching out bulletin board paper alone each season. Take care! :-)
Love your classroom. What do you use the word choice for?
Your outfit's so cute!
Where do you get your material from for the bulletin boards and roughly how much? Just discovered your vlog! It's amazing. Such an inspiriation. Also got me excited when you mentioned you're doing a HP theme because I have too!! :D
They are twin flat sheets from Walmart. They are $5 each! Tons of colors available!
Thanks, that's great!
Living in the UK ill have to find an alternative over here.
please say there are more of these!!!! 😍😍
:) I'll try to do a few more next week. After that we will see!
It looks awesome :D
:) Thanks!!!
