I remember watching these while I was in college and dreaming of decorating my own classroom. Now I’m going into my fourth year of teaching and still love watching ❤️
Hi!!! I am a first year, 2nd grade teacher at a Title 1 in Texas!!! I left my 10 year career in the medical field when my youngest started kinder in order to have more time with my family!!! (My hubby is a HS teacher and coach) I started as a para and fell in love with education and felt God calling me into a classroom of my own, so I started my teaching journey through alternative certification. I am so excited for my first year and to see how God is going to use me in and through this new journey!!!! 🎉✏️💜
First off I cannot believe it's been 7 years! I remember when you were getting married and now you've got 3 kids! Second - I am always surprised when teachers are able to set up their rooms right after 4th of July! We don't even get out until June 20 something and then our school has summer school in it, so I don't set up my room until the end of August and am crazy focused to get it all done in a full day (10 hours). Anyone else the same?
@@holly_wood26 wow that’s crazy!! We start school in August 15th. I feel like one day I’ll be able to set it up in one day but with the remodel and constant moving I feel like it always takes forever!
I retired after 34 years at the end of 2023, but I still love watching your videos! Great job as always!
My last year of teaching I got rid of my desk and used my small group table as my “teacher space”. It worked out beautifully because I had a lot more space and all of my stuff was in one place.
Jumped RIGHT on this 😂 I just finished my second year! I taught 2/3 both years and LOVED it!
It's my first year teaching. I will be teaching kindergarten. I'm planning to head to my classroom tomorrow to start my setup. 😊 Really hoping it goes well.
I started watching you when you first began. So nostalgic watching you again!
I have missed you so much, beyond excited for this series...I am starting my 3rd year of Preschool at a new center, an hour away but I am loving it and I am salaried, and never had that before, paid more than my last two positions in preschool. Not super PreK fond but our center is planning to expand in an academy next fall 2025, where I can move age and grade levels...
That whole wall just for corkboards is mind blowing
Welcome back Shelley. I am teaching 4th grade and this will be my 38th year.....not a typo! LOL
In my district, we only get 2 days to setup every year. Sometimes our principal tells us if we are moving grade level or rooms on those days as well
I started watching you while staying home with my now 6 yr old. I'm not a teacher but LOVE watching your videos ❤
Love watching your videos!! At my school we run 2 “teacher” classrooms one as the lead and one as a “teaching partner” they are certified teachers and or working to get certification that we sort of train to take on lead roles as they open in our school. With that model everything is mostly run in rotations/small group (guided math/ skills block) and they take on half the kiddos. We love this model at our school but what I was going to really share that could work for you with your aid and space is using your small group table as your desk. We do t have teacher “desk”. Our small group tables are our desks. They are positioned at opposite ends of the space because we tech at the same time and store/organize all our own supplies behind us on shelves or drawers. Could be an idea for you!
Hi Shelley I started watching you 5 years ago when I first started teaching and preparing for classroom setup. Classroom setup videos are my favorite. ❤
Loved this!! Your daughter is beautiful!! How nice for you to have this video to look back on. ❤ Mommy/daughter classroom set-up!
Congrats on the new little one! I am back this year after taking a year off. Taught for 9 years and now I am in a new state and learning all the standards for a 4th grade Dual Language position.
Yayyy! So glad to see you back!!!
I LIVE for these type of videos every year!!
Congrats on baby 3!!! Good to see you back.
Yay! I love your setup videos!!
Welcome back!!! So excited to keep watching this series! I have always loved watching them!!
Yay and congrats🎉she is a doll. Ready for all the setup videos❤❤
I just completed a 3/4 combo this past year! It was tough but manageable & made it through! I only had 5 3rd graders so I relied on my small group table for them it was awesome! I had 23 4th graders though so pretty much could only do whole group which was not ideal. Wish you the best this school year! Love to see these set up videos🥰 looking forward to seeing your 3rd grade content as I chose to teach only 3rd this year 🎉
Glad you’re back! Looking forward to more set up videos and congratulations on your newest addition! She’s adorable!
Omg these are my fav kind of videos 🤩!!!!!
Welcome back! I’m so glad you were able to be home with your little one through the summer. I’m teaching 6th grade and it’s my 6th year of teaching! 🍎
Those big rolly TVs are great but finding a good space for them is such a challenge! Hearing you think through your organization is really helpful, thanks for sharing.
Was so excited to see a new video from you! Welcome back and how adorable is your baby!! Love 💜 I am a first grade teacher going on my 24th school year! So excited to see your set up videos!!! Great job as always!! Love your thought process and planning!! Thanks as always for sharing!! 😊
OMG I'm so excited that you are back!!!! I'm doing 2nd grade and I will be relying HEAVILY on tips and ideas from your classroom.
YESSSSSSS classroom set time is here!!!!!!!! I don’t have a lot to set up this year and my SLT have crack down so I’ll live through these videos!
When I was younger 2 of my teachers had one of those movie director chairs for rug time/ what you would do for Elmo/TV so like right in between the new whiteboard and tv
I have always brought my daughter to set up my classroom. I love that your desk is a sitting/standing one. Looks great!
Just want to say I have been following you since I was in college to be a teacher. This school year I will be entering my 4th year of teaching! I have loved watching your videos the last several years ❤❤❤
I absolutely love watching your videos. You are amazing, and do it all with three kids. Love your thought processes.
I love you for keeping it real. Great video. Starting year 20 next month.
Never clicked on a video so fast! I’m starting my student teaching this semester! 6 weeks in EC K-5 and 6 weeks in First grade. Love your vids❤
I am a middle school treasurer in North Carolina. I just moved offices last week/this week and I totally pre-planned my move. 🤣 I went into my AP's office because she came up to the front office with our new principal, so I took pictures & measurements of her office before the move and really planned out how to lay out the space. I still need to tackle my huge BB after a trip to HL to get backing & border then order a small chair & table since I have the space.
I also have a door now so I am excited to decorate that!
They need to take down some of the BB in the middle & mount the promethium on the wall. All of ours are mounted and it saves so much space.
I will be teaching 2/3 as well here in Alberta, Canada!!
This is my second time around for me in my 25 years of teaching.
Thanks for such great inspiration!!
Good to see u back! 🍎
God bless you and your beautiful family! You are such an inspiration for us dedicated teachers who are also mamas! Been watching you for years - so grateful we have you on RUclips! ❤❤
Thank you so much!! 😭❤️
Love your videos every year! Ready for the next video when you make your piles 😂
Yay you’re back!!!!
Happy New Year! I haven't got back in my room yet. I hope to on Monday, July 8th. This will probably be my last classroom set-up because I am planning to retire at he end of the year. this year. I love seeing your little one. I hope you have a great year.
I just started teacher's college in April in an accelerated program, but I am SO pumped for classroom setup. I'll be teaching high school Biology but there aren't many setups for that, so I just watch 'em all anyways.
Yay! These videos are the best. Welcome back. We missed you! Your baby is adorable and you look great. I LOVE that TV in the new corner. I think the wall looks good without the paper and a big whiteboard would look good and be functional! Can’t wait to keep following along.
Totally agree!! The wall looks great without paper. So much nicer than the disgusting beige cinderblocks at my old school building lol
Shelley! I have been watching you since your first year and I'm starting my 3rd year of teaching now. I teach in the Sac area too and our school is getting remodeled just like yours - it's so interesting to get a preview of what it will look like.
@@rachkeyt amazing! Where do you teach??
@@EarlyEDventures I am in the Oak Park area! Our school is super old so they are building a brand new one and then tearing ours down. But the models they've shown us look exactly like your room, even the furniture!
Woohoo my favourite time on teacher tube as well!!
hopefully this will be your forever classroom.
Welcome
Back! We missed you! Been watching your videos for yearsssssss. Love them. I’m going into my fifth year teaching and fifth classroom. New school and grade as well. Nervous, but excited. Going from middle to high school!😳😎
Ahhh what a jump! I feel like high school would be better than middle though 😂good luck
Are you doing other classroom videos
I did a 3/4 combo one year and I thought it was so much fun! Definitely a perfect storm but would love to do 2/3 at some point!
Love your videos! :)
I’m teaching a 1/2 combo this year and would love some strategies for scheduling and managing a split class of younger students.
Great thought process.
Welcome back to it!
Congrats on your new little one!! I’m going into my 5th year, and it’ll be my third year teaching 3rd 😀
Yay! Welcome back, the baby is precious.
@@malissac7966 because I teach mainly from the TV, not whiteboard. The TV is also a smart board and a built in whiteboard
Are you doing other classroom videos
@@kaylayoungblood9577 I’m never sure what you mean when you comment this. What do you mean?
Omg she so adorable! ❤ god bless
You're showing your room and I'm focused on the baby!!!
Love your videos. Also, the bigger the white board the better. You’ll use all of the space. 😊
WOW! In true third child spirit...lol. Congrats on your sweet baby! 💗💗💗
favorite time of year, haha!
wooooo! Let's go Shelley!
I can because im a grown-up 😂😂😂😂
I also had an aid this year and just did not have the space to give her her own desk. So I designated one of the small group tables as her personal area and gave her a little file cabinet to keep her stuff in. I just had to do what was best for my classroom. So the other teachers in my school they had aids liked my idea so they did away with their age desk
I was an aid before becoming a teacher and never had my own space. I love that you give aids their own little spot. As a teacher now, I don't have an aid. But if I did, they'd have an area just for them.
I love your vids
Yay!!! I always look forward to your videos.
Have you thought about not putting the wood paper up where you do your teaching? That way, it can be just your whiteboard and anchor charts.
What do you plan to put between the TV and the whiteboard? If nothing, maybe scoot the board over more?
All suggestions. 😁 I know rooms look a little different in person.
No, I definitely want the paper on that wall. I hate gray lol. It feels like a conference room. I will probably put anchor charts between the whiteboard and TV or other supplemental resources
I’m teaching 2nd grade this year again. This is my 27th year of teaching!🍎💻📚📓
I have missed you!
You look amazing!! ❤️
Awww thank you!
Doing other classroom videos setting up with time lapse videos
Shelley! You’ve got to try connecting your teacher desk and the small group table to make a J shaped “mega desk” as I call it. This layout is a game changer and space saver!!
Ohhhhh I’ll play with this idea!!!!
I’ll send you a pic on ig if you want to see mine!
I also have one of those large screens and struggle with figuring out with doc camera with enough space to still interact! I will be very interested in your further ideas with this!
I love your videos! Btw I work in Sacramento too! It’s been blazing hot!! 😂
Sure has!!!
Love your setup videos. What font is the "Don't Stop Until You're Proud" quote? I love it!
It's "Resting Teacher Face" from Amy Groesbeck! I bought her fonts off TpT their my favorite!
Your setup videos are THE best! I teach Kinder in Canada and always look forward to your videos. Where do buy your grass wall? Does your school provide the new whiteboard?
Amazon for the grass. I will buy the whiteboard but our PTO will reimburse me!
Since you don’t care for the bright green wall, it would be cool if you could cover that little piece with the greenery. Although the tv might block too much of it. Just an idea!
I was really nervous when people keep saying teachers are broke and don’t get paid well; the area I live in PA start you off at $61,000 which I don’t think is that bad!
Put your small group table in front of one the whiteboards. You can then use it within your instruction.
Glad you’re back! Curious as to what kind of behavior communication you use for parents. Last year I used a daily calendar with which the kids colored at the end of the day depending on their color on the flip card chart (green, yellow…). Do you use something to communicate daily with parents, or just on an as needed basis?
I only communicate on an as need basis. I have found the longer I taught that a lot of those daily things took up way too much precious time, so I simplified. I also personally don't align with the flip cards/clip chart type behavior management! I have found it to do more harm than good
Congratulations on baby #3 🎉. Perhaps for your Smartboard dilemma consider purchasing a rolling chart to place nearby.
Thank you! I’ve tried that…those things just don’t work for me for some reason lol
Girl, get Better than Paper vinyl for your walls! They will have that wood print. Mine is going on 4 years and still looks great!
I love your yes I can cuss I'm an adult lol
Hi. So glad to see you! Your daughter is so cute. Your room is small. Would you consider eliminating your teacher desk and your kidney table could do double duty. One less piece of furniture. I did this 2 years ago and was hesitant, so I kept my desk in storage in case I needed it back. It worked out and I haven’t missed the desk.
Flipping the tv was great.
I have tried it in the past and I hated it. I like having a separate space of my own. Also the room isn't that small I think my wide camera lens makes it look smaller than it is!
I love your videos. Where did you get the shelves with the pull out storage containers?
@@marysoares416 they came with the new room from our district!
@@EarlyEDventures What a blessing. I would love to have these for my stem activites!
Maybe flexible seating to make it more fun ❤❤❤
I let them sit wherever during independent work but they each need their own desk for all of their supplies 😬
I removed my teacher desk and use the kidney table as my desk. I have the same drawer system you have behind me and it keeps all my supplies organized.
I’ve done that in the past and hated it 😂 I need a separate space
What do you use for your bulletin/quote letters? Cricut?
❤❤
Have you considered using "wood-look" fabric on your bug gray board? It might stay up better than the paper.
@@ROG1214 I haven’t ever found wood fabric that I like that is cheap enough to cover the whole wall
Love your videos! Where did you get your family sign?
I think Amazon!
❤
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I LOVE your rug! Where did you get it?
@@whitneyhoffer6432 Amazon! amzn.to/3RZ2qzF
@@EarlyEDventures thanks, love me some Amazon!!
Would you ever make your kidney table your teacher desk?! You go down to just one desk so you have a little bit more room! ❤️❤️
I've tried this but I did not like it. I like having my own space, and I need a table to put my document camera on anyway. I can't put it on the small group table because it would take up way too much space
Could you ask to have your smartboard mounted on the wall in the middle? With a drywipe board either side?
Unfortunately, no. They are rolling TVs, not mountable smart boards :/
I’m looking for a good set of the drawers on wheels. The rainbow set I have give me difficulty with the drawers. They come off track all the time. Do yours give you problems with your drawers? Do you have a link for yours or can you give any recommendations for some good ones???
@@lisaspratt7861 I have the ones from Michael’s and TBH they’re not great. They come off the track all the time and are falling apart 😣
How was your cruise with followers? Did your family go with?
It wasn’t a cruise, and we had to postpone it for 2025! Stay tuned!
“For those of you who have been here for the last 7 years…”
Me: I’ve been watching since then, and I was in between my 7th and 8th grade year and now I’m almost 21 lol
@@autumnlee5108 omgggg that’s crazy!!!! 😭
How long did it take you to find a teaching job after graduating? I am making a career change and in college now for elementary education, really scared I won’t be able to find a teaching job right away. 😬
Any chance that you will be putting your GLAD posters on tpt? 😊

@@EarlyEDventures Thank you SO much!
Where did you get your black rug?
Amazon! - amzn.to/3RZ4OGS
Congratulations, she is adorable ❤ Why are pre- setting up now ? Since us (teachers) are on summer break now? Love your videos and so I'm still watching though😊
Because I’ve been on break since December 😂 I wanna get everything dialed and it’s gonna take time cuz I’ve been gone
@@EarlyEDventures Thanks , I understand. After getting out on June 4th, doing some summer PDs, I'm trying to not think about my classroom (janitors are shampooing now anyway). Thanks again for sharing your classroom ideas and process! This school year will be my 31st year of teaching and I use your tips. 😍 I love your positive attitude
