I’m in middle school and all i wanna do before school starts is study up on my grade. Like expectations, homework, and advice. If any of the kids here are like me and get obsessed with something they’re about to get or an event that’s about to happen such as middle school, I would suggest looking up middle school advice and middle school expectation vs. reality.
Your classroom is beautiful! I love all the colors and how you have everything set up! Why couldn’t I have an awsome teacher like you when I was in middle school! It seems like you make everything so happy and bright lol. And it just seems so welcoming and fun! Great video! 💕💕💕
Your class room is so beautiful..... I really love it... & the idea to know more about students was so fantastic... I'm going to take this for my own classroom... I will decorate my classroom similar to your classroom... Thanks for sharing.
I love this. I’m a new teacher and it was kinda overwhelming because I need all of this. Even going with bare minimum you need certain tool to organize and create an inviting environment. 😭
I just started listening to Hamilton and I'm obsessed too! I'm an instructional assistant and I'm going back to school now to get my degree soon. You are lucky. When I worked in middle school I adored the sweet sixth graders and I also adored the fun-loving soon to be high schoolers. Happy I found your channel!
Ooo! I love how colorful your room is! Also a great idea to create your own personal bulletin board. I think its so important in building relationships with students for them to know a little bit about you, outside of school!
hi teacher! i am a teacher too, i love your classroom setup! i teach middle school too in here, the Philippines! thank you for sharing your beautiful classroom.
I’m a middle school social worker... I love visiting all the classrooms to see all the creative ideas!!! Beautiful and practical tour ✨ can you or have you created a video on the community circles ... your thoughts about them and how they are facilitated
I love the polka dots you used on the inside of the borders! One tip that I love to do with my border is staple it up a little bit away from the corner and then when it is all up, I cut where the borders meet at a diagonal into the corner so then it just forms a pretty square.
Thank you so so much! This is my first year of teaching so its great to see how you have decorated your room. You tell you're a very passionate teacher!! :)
:O :O once I got to middle school it was just bare white walls and individual desks. Maybe some teachers had us in pairs but I think only one class my entire time... Maybe middle school wouldnt have been so horrible if I was in your school!
Thank you for sharing your classroom! ❤ It's sweet!! Great insight for me.. just got my first teaching position. Totally not a super creative person so looking for guidance and ideas. I so appreciate you sharing!!!
I can’t wait until I get to decorate my room next year and this video is so inspiring! I was hired a week before the school year so I’ve been bringing things in piece by piece. I’m super jealous of your windows too! I’m in a converted wood shop so it’s kinda like a dungeon...
Would LOVE to have that Lin Manuel Miranda tweet poster that you have for my classroom! So many of my chorus students are obsessed with Hamilton and this would just make their day!!
Thank you for having a nice, bright and neat room for middle schoolers. I think teachers forget that middle school and high school kids need inviting rooms too.
Thank you Megan!! The resources you went through are amazing. I got thrown into teaching a section of 8th grade social studies--I'm a math teacher! I feel like I have a giant boot hold in where to start. I appreciate your candor and thoroughness!:)
Lol I wish my middle school teachers made there rooms look like this my teachers just slapped the things required by the school and called it a day lol
I love the attention grabber you have to start off your day, the saying "pay attention with your face", and answering questions with RAP ( I know some places who use RACE but personally RAP seems easier for students to remember).
Loved watching this video! You gave me some great ideas for this school year. Would you mind telling me the font you used for the names on your tech support board? It shows up at 10:39. I've purchased lots of fonts, but I really like this one, and though I keep seeing it, I can't seem to find it! Haha, thank you!
Beautiful classroom. I’m so surprised that your students don’t draw on your materials or take them. That’s a testament to your classroom management skills. Growing up students would destroy every and everything my teachers would make look beautiful.
QTC Cleo I think it depends on the school you go to. At my school everything was a mess people stole atuff al the time. My school was a pretty low land school but some of the schools in the more populated areas are usually just neater
I haven't started teaching yet, but I love how you have your class put together. It is incredibly positive, colorful, and seems to be very welcoming. I was wondering though, do you purchase everything from the bulletin boards to the supply boxes, the bins, baskets, magazine holders at your turn in station? If so, how much do you usually spend when you re-do your room?
Thank you for doing something amazing like teaching.. you guys don’t get enough credit but you sure deserve it. I’m planning on homeschooling this year and looking for some inspiration my son is in 7th grade.
Thanks for sharing!!! Please tell how you did your letters and your class signs!! Also any advice for me starting a RUclips channel as a instructional coach.
I understand this video is 3 years old, but i noticed that you say that chromebooks should be at full brightness. I encourage you to redact that rule for kiddos with undiagnosed neurological disorders such as autism that make bright lights difficult for focussing. 😊 Speaking as an adult who wasn’t diagnosed with ASD in childhood, thrived off being a great student and hated getting into trouble, but didnt know how to ask for what i needed to succeed.
Thank you for making this video, you are so relatable in all of your videos. I feel like we would be friends in real life! 🤗😂 I’m looking to be a middle school math teacher in Texas in August 2020... wish me luck!
I see that you store your textbooks in your classroom. I am just wondering what your process is for textbooks? I will have flexible seating next year and I’m looking for ways to organize and distribute textbooks for students. Thanks for all your awesome videos!
Love seeing classroom tours I can’t wait to post my first classroom tour on here as well. I teach high school so our classrooms will be similar. Love the teaching community on here I have a teacher channel as well. Much love! -New Subbie 💜💜💜
I actually like that you did this mid-year. It feels more real and realistic since you know the layout is working for your students.
It’s nice to see a tour in the middle of the year. So often they are made before the kids come at the end of summer.
I’m in middle school and all i wanna do before school starts is study up on my grade. Like expectations, homework, and advice. If any of the kids here are like me and get obsessed with something they’re about to get or an event that’s about to happen such as middle school, I would suggest looking up middle school advice and middle school expectation vs. reality.
When you first showed the pink basket of name tag holders, I thought they were pacifiers! 😂
Haha!
K. Wehling SAME!
Yes us middle schoolers sometimes need our pacifiers 😂
Same lol 😂
Same
Your classroom is beautiful! I love all the colors and how you have everything set up!
Why couldn’t I have an awsome teacher like you when I was in middle school!

The tech support is brilliant! Totally incorporating that next year.
I love it. i will be teaching 6th grade and this gave me tons of ideas on how to set my classroom up
The size and space in your room is amazing, plus those windows. No wonder you like to be in your classroom.

Thank you for sharing your classroom! I just finished my first year teaching and I love to see how other teachers have their rooms organized!
I love how you've maximized the window wall with pennants. Isn't it amazing how much of our own money we spend on our classrooms?
I know! I always keep my eye out for grants to help with the costs too
Awesome! So many ideas that I will use in my own classroom! That’s really beautiful! Magnifique! ❤️
hi teacher! i am a teacher too, i love your classroom setup! i teach middle school too in here, the Philippines! thank you for sharing your beautiful classroom.
I love the color coordination I feel so identified. Very cute classroom!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I’m a middle school social worker... I love visiting all the classrooms to see all the creative ideas!!! Beautiful and practical tour ✨ can you or have you created a video on the community circles ... your thoughts about them and how they are facilitated
Social Work Scrapbook Hi there! Yes I have 5 or 6 videos on this topic, one of them in my classroom with my kids 😊
Great video! I love all the quotes around your room and the human rights poster was awesome! You seem like such a passionate, and loving teacher. 😊
I really like your space. Thank you for sharing
I love the polka dots you used on the inside of the borders! One tip that I love to do with my border is staple it up a little bit away from the corner and then when it is all up, I cut where the borders meet at a diagonal into the corner so then it just forms a pretty square.
Hi! Im a new student coming to your school in a few days! Nice to meet you, hopefully ill be in your classroom you seem nice, and sweet!
I'm going to be a first year teacher and I'll be teaching a middle school. I'm appreciating your videos
Thank you so so much! This is my first year of teaching so its great to see how you have decorated your room. You tell you're a very passionate teacher!! :)
:O :O once I got to middle school it was just bare white walls and individual desks. Maybe some teachers had us in pairs but I think only one class my entire time... Maybe middle school wouldnt have been so horrible if I was in your school!
This is amazing inspiration! It’s so doable and love how you’ve provided all the tools and tips to put it together in our own classroom.
We also need to teach kids a love for our great nation!🇺🇸💖
Thank you for sharing your classroom! ❤ It's sweet!! Great insight for me.. just got my first teaching position. Totally not a super creative person so looking for guidance and ideas. I so appreciate you sharing!!!
For middle school that’s amazing
I hope myself be a kid again and sitting in your classroom.
I can’t wait until I get to decorate my room next year and this video is so inspiring! I was hired a week before the school year so I’ve been bringing things in piece by piece. I’m super jealous of your windows too! I’m in a converted wood shop so it’s kinda like a dungeon...

This is great. I'll be working with my first full-time class this fall. I'm nervous, but ultimately excited.
Your classroom is so cute. I love the updates from last year's video.
Nice job! You have some really good ideas that I may utilize this year. Thanks for the ideas.
I was searching it before,and now i get ,thankful to you , please make a video on science class tour.
Thanks for the detailed tour of your classroom.
Your Hamilton quotes are Everything!!!!! I love it!
Love it! I wish you were my teacher!
alittleaboutalot Send me all of your kids!! 😂
I LOVE HAMILTON!!!!!! Epic door!!!
I love everything about your classroom !
Lol I wish my middle school teachers made there rooms look like this my teachers just slapped the things required by the school and called it a day lol
That schedule is insane! I would lose my mind in my classroom if my schedule changed everyday.
I love the attention grabber you have to start off your day, the saying "pay attention with your face", and answering questions with RAP ( I know some places who use RACE but personally RAP seems easier for students to remember).
Ashley Gunn Thank you!
So much simpler than the younger grades classrooms. I think I would want to teach middle school too.
I absolutely love your classroom!! :) thanks for making this, and all of your other amazing videos.
Such a cute classroom
Tech support job is so smart!!! TY!

I love SHEG! I would like to hear more about your 6th grade class with the human rights declaration.
Meagan Harper I’ve got a video on it! 😁

It's always a few hundred dollars. I spend that now, but my first year I kept it under $100 :)
I really like your classroom.
Beautiful room! Thanks for sharing.
An absolutely beautiful classroom! Thank you for sharing with all of us teachers! So inspirational!!💖💖💖

Ayano Aishi my middle school has the poster with the dude in hamilton with the star in the back in the music room
So beautiful and organised 🌷
I'm thinking about becoming a teacher and your videos are really inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you for doing something amazing like teaching.. you guys don’t get enough credit but you sure deserve it. I’m planning on homeschooling this year and looking for some inspiration my son is in 7th grade.
I love love the family board!
Thanks for sharing!!! Please tell how you did your letters and your class signs!! Also any advice for me starting a RUclips channel as a instructional coach.
Love your ideas and I am a grade 6 math teacher 👩🏫 first year. but I can’t get the woodpress link working.

You are an amazing teacher!
Such usefull ideas and tips. Thank you!
Love the room !! (Especially the hamilton posters ;) )
I’m not sure you know what “a mess” in a middle school classroom really is! LOL
Beautiful room 💗
Hi Mrs. Forbes! It’s me, Dhruv, from last year. Sadly, I moved, but it was great to see the old classroom again!
Hey Dhruv!
I wish my classroom had such a pretty color scheme
At my school we are chrome books we have to bring in fully charged
Could you make a video about how you make your worksheets? :)
Thank you for making this video, you are so relatable in all of your videos. I feel like we would be friends in real life! 🤗😂 I’m looking to be a middle school math teacher in Texas in August 2020... wish me luck!

I hv never seen such a picturesque and attractive class ❤❤🌷🤩
This is my school's first year as a Leader In Me school as well!
i got a few good ideas from this video. Thanks
I love the colors in your classroom. I teach Pre-k
I’m a Soc and Criminal Justice major and I’m only watching this to help my boyfriend prep for his class..... but you got me with Hamilton !!! lol

I'm having some trouble keeping care of my Chromebooks, and I noticed a Chromebook guide at 15:31- where could I find that?
We only get art on Tuesdays only one day for everyone to be excited we all love art class
This is so good!
So glad to see your classroom, there's so much inspiration! What is the name of magnets you used for block schedule.?
