Those first grade students are going to be SO lucky to have you as their teacher. Oh my goodness. We are excited to watch you and learn from you on this journey.
Well, boooo and yaaay! I am very happy for you, and for those lucky little firsties! BUT, I know I will miss all your videos and emails etc. You are the first place I look for something I need for my classroom. Truly, best of luck, and enjoy every single minute! We will be fine, we will be fine, we will be fine...
Congratulations on your new teaching position! You truly belong in the classroom with students because you are an amazing educator! You’ve helped me become a better teacher as well! Have a wonderful school year!
I can't wait to see the room finished! So excited for you. I also am in first grade this year. I'll be using some of the items I purchased from your store. Thanks
Thank you Susan this video is so helpful. I am on the same page. I need to go to my classroom and start from scratch. First-time first grade, New school, everything new. Thank you for the resources.
I am SO EXCITED for you, and boy are those kids lucky! Thanks for sharing your tips for organization and setting up a classroom. It's always fun to see other teachers' classrooms being set up to get new ideas...thanks for sharing! Best wishes for a great year!!!!!
Hello from the South Shore of MA! Congratulations on the new job! I can see your excitement and passion. I am most excited for your students and their families. They are getting a teacher who is the equivalent of a rock star!! Your students are fortunate and blessed to have you this year.
Thank you so much, Susan. Great ideas as you always have. I wish you a wonderful year and will be following you closely as you seem to have the best ideas!!! Thank you.
Congrats! Glad to hear you are back in school! I am in MA as well. I have learned so much from your sharing, and definitely can’t wait to watch more videos about the new content.
Congrats on the new job! I am in love with Ikea's recycling bin containers! They are fully enclosed, but have a flip up lid for easy access! Those might work well on some of those shelves.
Hey Susan, Can u share your schedule cards? I have your calendar. It would be great for them to match.....love your room....so pleasant and not overdone🌈
Where did you get the book bins to organize your library books for students? I like the the clear dividers in the book bins so you can store 3 different types of books. Thanks!
Have you every used Fundations before? I am starting at a new school and district this year and that is what they use. If you are familiar could this possibly be a topic for a video lol? Thanks
Yay🎉🎉🎉 1st grade rules!!! My school we do co-teaching since we have 30 children in our classrooms, are you guys co-teaching or is she a Para? Either way is so much better having the extra help within the class❤❤❤❤
WOW! Only 18 students. I just checked my first grade roster for the next school year and I have 38 students with no aide. How do you set up for that? I know I can’t get to my classroom until late August, as the school doesn’t allow us in when they are doing the floors and other maintenance.
I'm moving from kinder to first and would also like to know! I want them to have more freedom with the library this year but don't know how to best organize.
Beautiful set up. You have so many great organization ideas. I am a new viewer. You mentioned removing the hooks. I was wondering where your students will hang their coats and backpacks. You didn’t mention a new location. Just curious.
In the hallways, each student has their own buckets! It was something that started in 2020 and stayed! It’s nice because they’re out of the way and all the winter clothes don’t take up space!
@@SusanJonesTeaching that’s so awesome! I wish my school did that. It really does take up so much space in the classroom. Thanks so much for your reply.
Since 2020 our school had class buckets that they keep in the hallway where their coats, backpacks, and lunchboxes go! It keeps all the clutter out of the class which is nice
Hi there! Thank you for your interest in my clubs! I like to open my clubs up once per year for open enrollment so I can focus on a smaller, dedicated group of new members. If you are interested in joining sooner, send me an email at susanjonesteaching@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do to help!
Those first grade students are going to be SO lucky to have you as their teacher. Oh my goodness. We are excited to watch you and learn from you on this journey.
I’m a first grade teacher and I’m so, so very excited to watch your videos throughout this year in real time to learn even more from you!! ❤
Those kiddos will be so lucky to have you as their teacher, Susan! I learn from you with every video you share. Thank you. All the best!

Love your Elephant an Piggy book ends!!!!!
You definitely made my kids a better reader thanks 🎉
When I was in elementary school in the 1970s I remember in first grade I acted up in class back then and got paddled for it back then 😊.
The kids are so so lucky to have you. You Rock!!! Thanks for your help over the years.
So great you are going back to the classroom!!!!

Curtains on pressure mounted rods work wonders to hide the clutter

Amazon wish list and lakeshore extra supplies for your new classroom

I love your book bins. Where did you find them? Please share.
I’m so excited to watch your journey back to the classroom. You have helped me grow into a better teacher. 🫶🏼😘
I loved the divided book boxes. Where were those purchased?
Where did you get the book bins to organize your library books for students? I like the the clear dividers in the book bins so you can store 3 different types of books. Thanks!
Those are new (to me) from Really Good Stuff this year!! I also loved the dividers - it will help students see the books better too!
Congratulations!! What program did you use to make the labels? How will the family tree display look like?
Have you every used Fundations before? I am starting at a new school and district this year and that is what they use. If you are familiar could this possibly be a topic for a video lol? Thanks
Can I please have the colorful drawer set and whatever else you may not want?🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Looks great! I have a question can I join the writing club membership now or do I have to wait for 2024
Yay🎉🎉🎉 1st grade rules!!! My school we do co-teaching since we have 30 children in our classrooms, are you guys co-teaching or is she a Para? Either way is so much better having the extra help within the class❤❤❤❤
She is an instructional aide so she will work with students in the class! I am very lucky to have her!!
WOW! Only 18 students. I just checked my first grade roster for the next school year and I have 38 students with no aide. How do you set up for that? I know I can’t get to my classroom until late August, as the school doesn’t allow us in when they are doing the floors and other maintenance.
How do you organize your classroom library? Specifically how students know where to return books. Any information helpful!
I'm moving from kinder to first and would also like to know! I want them to have more freedom with the library this year but don't know how to best organize.
I will show some of that in my next video (coming out Sunday)!

I’m excited to keep up with your year. Do you know how many students you will have?
18-19!
Congrats! I have 26 kinder students currently in my class. I am wondering if you remove the hooks where will students hang backpacks and jackets?
Since 2020 our school had class buckets that they keep in the hallway where their coats, backpacks, and lunchboxes go! It keeps all the clutter out of the class which is nice
@susan Jones Are the floor dots for lining up and sit spots?
Those were leftover from the previous teacher - I removed them and got a classroom rug!
Hi Susan! I would really love to join your clubs, but do I have to wait until next year July?
