- Today is a Saturday/Monday combination Classroom Vlog...I actually got quite a bit done! Next week, I have New Teacher Orientation and we begin our Meetings! School is here...Back to School is over?!?! Already?
I hope you are enjoying the progress of my classroom as much as I am! Bulletin Boards and Chalkboards are OFF the To-Do list! Yay!!
I'm still working on some details for my writing wall, but I think it is coming along nicely as well!

Your son is so sweet and helpful. The classroom is coming along nicely. I'm sure your new students will appreciate all your efforts!
Classroom looks great!!! Can't wait for the final classroom tour so I can show my students here in Puerto Rico!!!
Aww! That is so cool!
the calendar looks really good for a free hand!!!
You seem so calm during a stressful time. The beginning and the end of the year stresses me to no end! You have that "Don't sweat the small stuff." attitude. At least it appears that way. Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration!
I definitely try to have that attitude...sometimes I lose it :) ... Thank you so much for watching!
Another idea for the exercise balls: I saw a picture online where a teacher connected a pool noodle to make a circle and used it to hold the exercise ball. The Dollar Tree may still have pool noodles. 😊
The chalkboard calendar is perfectly imperfect. Love it!!! Also I love how your "boys" all help out!! 💖
Aww! Thank you, Marlene! I couldn't do it without them :)
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Glad you like the quote :) I put it up in my classroom too and I'm so excited to share it with the kids!
In many classrooms I have been in for subbing, the teachers have the medicine balls in laundry baskets. it helps stabilize the balls and keeps the kids from rolling around the whole classroom.
Love the quote! I have a great Harry Potter Quote in my class for writing/ kindness.
"Words are... our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both inflicting pain and remedying it."
Use a pool noodle taped together on the ends as a base for the balls. That way they can roll around a bit, but it keeps them put!
Got my whole first unit is planned out & my copies are made! Haven't started on my classroom yet so that will be next on my agenda! Thanks so much for your vlogs! I really love them. Your classroom is looking great! I teach 8th grade so I don't decorate quite as much but your classroom is inspiring & I love the Harty Potter theme:)
So exciting! Have a great year!
Haha...it really is, every year! Hope you have a great one as well:)
Love the tan board with the paper and blue burlap! Where do you buy your burlap? Do you use a staple gun for all your boards? Yeah!!! Thanks for the shout out!! Glad it helped ya out!!!
Yes! Stapled gun all of the bulletin boards. I had the Burlap from my wedding, I don't remember where I picked it up, but it is much better than you get from the hobby stores.
Wow there was some serious vlog inception going on in this video! ;) I am enjoying your classroom set up so much!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that noticed!
Ha. I love it!
How is your class coming along? Already back to school? What has been your biggest challenge??
Just started yesterday. The majority of my kids came from a class with no structure or classroom management. Trying to undo everything they learned last year. Ughhh
I started today!
My classroom is having brand new flooring inside and out and all walls being painted so access has been very limited! So this Summer I have less time to get in, hopefully I'll get in during the next 2 weeks before the children start!
I live in the Northeast and school doesn't start until mid-September! (It doesn't end until last weekday of June, too)
WoW! Mid-September sounds good! I'm the beginning of September.
Enjoyed your back to school vlogs. We can go and work on our rooms on tomorrow. we have four days to get rooms ready for open house. And they through in a decorating contest. You would win at my school:)
It would be so much fun to see everyones Ideas! Good luck in these last few days!
For the exercise balls, I also saw how they used a pool noodle and created a circle that would hold the ball!
Yes! I'm going to try this idea!
Love your classroom!!! I am currently a freshman in college getting my elementary education degree and I'm so excited but so nervous for having a classroom of my own and teaching my first year! I know I have a lot of time but your videos make me so excited to be a teacher!
Yay!! Thank you so much! Please share with friends and classmates! I think I will do a Student Teaching tips video in the near future.
I got a pool noodle and duct taped the ends together for a yoga ball base! It works perfectly!
I'm going to try this! Thanks!
I use .79 salad plates I found at Target to "plate" my exercise balls. They work perfectly!
Ian is such a great helper! :)
Start next week cant wait! I saw someone use pool noodles bent into a circle to hold the exercise balls if the Frisbee doesn't work.
and now I want a diet coke lol
....and now I do too! This is a vicious circle!
...I think I'm going to skip the Frisbee and try this out!
What if you put some cute Harry Potter table cloths over the boring student desks? That way they'll be able to still work as pairs but it'll look a little better than just boring desks!
I loooove your classroom, it's absolutely amazing!!!
This might be a silly question but since you are doing flexible seating how does that work when it comes to testing? Like standardized testing? Are they "allowed" to sit in group settings like that? Just curious (: love your classroom btw!
Honestly, I'm not a general ed classroom teacher, I am a music specialist, but knowing from what other teachers have said, is that certain students make work best on their own, or they have a space issue and need their own space and spot to be by themselves while you are teaching, etc. So I think that it is best if you keep those couple sets of desks :)
I loosely duct taped plastic diving rings ($4 Target) to the bottoms of my exercise balls to stop them from rolling. Has worked OK. Sometimes you have to replace the tape.
awesome thanks for that!I have a five below here in staten island! Im going today to pick it up!
When I was at school I was always so jealous that the teacher got a soft cushioned chair, I found hard chairs so difficult to cope with.
This is my first year/ week. Im crying. Im overwhelmed . Lots to do
Hang in there! It is my 21st year and I still get a bit overwhelmed at the start of each year!
Awww no don't cry! Take a deep breath and know that it will all get done one way or another. Do what you can! I am going to start my second year teaching on Monday and I'm overwhelmed too. You're not alone! Ask for help and stay positive!!! You can do it you're going to be an awesome teacher.
You've got this! Feel free to ask questions of anyone! When people see you working hard they will be more that happy to be part of your success! And as John mentioned (my 5th year) ....I am overwhelmed as well...yet it all gets done!
I am an elementary education major and love your videos and blog, I have used so many of your creative ideas and tips. Would love a video on advice and tips for student teachers. I start student teaching this year and am very excited but also very nervous.
I can only hope to someday be as wonderful of a teacher as you are! 💕📓
Oh my, Thank you so much! I will work on some student and first year teacher videos! You might also check out DaceyCouture here on RUclips. She covered a lot of her experiences in college and just accepted her first teaching position!!
+The Lettered Classroom Great, I will check her out! Thanks so much!
I just read other comments and saw the pool noodle idea reoccurred several times. 😌
I can't start setting up my room until the 24th. My county doesn't start till after Labor Day.
Your sons are so cute!! Happy Back to School!!
Aww...Thank you so much!
Love your classroom so far! Now I want to watch the Harry Potter series!!
Thanks! I think I was watching 'Chamber of Secrets' when you left this comment :) ...They are such good books and movies!
I did burlap boarders last year.. They last so well.. I left them up this year.. I also used tulle .. It works great too :) .. Your room looks great!
I love the way they turned out! Thank you so much!
You can get a pool noodle from the dollar store and duct tape it into a large circle. You can use that to keep the yoga balls in place.
I will steal this idea! Can't wait!
Your vlogs are so inspiring💜 my second day of student teaching was today!!
Yay! Congrats! What do you think so far? What was your Best and most challenging part of the day??
I'd love a big video about the books in your library :D
Oh my, I have video for tonight that includes setting it all up...but the book intro videos I did, didn't go over all that well.
I'm currently considering getting my degree in middle childhood education (In my state it's considered grades 4-9), so I am excited to watch your journey into the middle childhood sector!
Yay!!! So fun!
I think you should keep at least 1 set of desks
Hello! Very inspiring ideas. I love your videos and helpful information 😍
Keep up the good work 👏
Best wishes all the way from Kuwait 🇰🇼
Aww..Thank you! So cool to hear from other countries!!!
I think the Frisbee would slide around and the sides not deep enough to contain the balls. I would take a pool noodle and make rings for a base
love the navy burlap btw
Oh my I would clear out that Minifigure stall. :D
I wonder if using 4 valcro dots on each frisbee would keep them from sliding? At least then they'd be attached to the carpet :)
On the parent survey
The medical information has a spelling mistake. I think you ment to say 'have' but instead it says 'ha'
I'm going to have to be very careful what I show on here, that pause button! ...but I will double check.
+The Lettered Classroom just wanted to let you know 😊
School starts September 7th and I am setting up my classroom. I actually bought the twin sized flat fabric and it was a hassle putting it on lol. However I managed to get the wall halfway done. I don't necessarily have a theme but lets see where it goes, also will definitely get the chalk board marker. Question, how did you manage to place the fabric unto the walls.
do you tell your students/parents about your youtube channel?
Yes I do.
I feel like I'm watching Inception. :) A video within a video within a video. Hahaha
Ha ha...Production value is through the roof!
What did you use to cut the vinyl? And what font were they? I LOVE LOVE LOVE them
How would you do flexible seating with friends who have wheel chairs?
hi there! i really love everything I have seen so far. I just had a quick question... where in your classroom do you plan on displaying student work?
I will have 48 students this year (2 rotations of 24) So I probably won't display much in class. I do have hallway space If I decide to go that route...but with 48 projects...well I don't know yet.
Do you plan on doing a new classroom tour and if not could you please do so
You should of used a ruler to do the calendar
it's open house at our school
Was that the gray discbound cover I saw on your table?? Did you end up putting your planner in it??
Um...maybe...I wasn't ready for that yet Katy! You have good eyes!
You need to cut out a calendar on your silhouette and then it will be straight!
use washi tape for your calendar lines
I will admit I debated it. Now, I am stubborn to succeed with chalk :)
I am just worried I won't finish my room and I haven't even started.
I think there are a lot of us in this situation right now! We do as much as we can and then prioritze the finish! Someone mentioned the other day that students won't notice if the 'Fuzzy Curlys" are missing and they are absolutely right!
use Washi tape to ensure straight lines.
Wouldn't it make more sense to put the " ... "after "truly are" than "what we"????
What grade do you teach now? I know you used to teach Ks!
She will be teaching fourth grade! :)
Hi hun who did you say inspired the keep the quote idea? Do they have an insta I could follow?
@Miss5th
Yes she has a very active IG account. She's great!
Does she have a youtube? and thank you
I don't believe so.
Are you still a kindergarten teacher?
This will be my first year teaching 4th grade.
Have Fun! :)
