- Get ready because everyone's favorite time of the year is here....CLASSROOM SET-UP!! This year is another year of changes as I transition back to elementary school in the 4th grade classroom. You'd think the set-up process would be easier after having done it so many times, but it in fact remains as difficult as ever for someone who has so many ideas floating in her brain...oops! Join me on this vlogging experience to see the behind-the-scenes reality of preparing for a new school year. Hope you enjoy vlog 1!

Stay Joyful :)
I literally had a break down my first year teaching when I had to go through every shelf of stuff filled to the brim. It was so overwhelming 😢 I’m glad you had a good attitude!
I’m in the same boat… I get ya!!
I’m a 4th grade teacher and moving classrooms and have to declutter and move previous teachers stuff…been at it for 2 days and just now able to start getting to organizing my stuff.
Okay wait I love all the storage/baskets that the previous teacher left! That is an exciting "gift!" The blue/green woven baskets are the most PERFECT containers for books if you sort by series/genre/topic. I used those in my 4th grade room, and they were perfect! (They're from Hobby Lobby.)
Mary goes on a shelf in my room, but yeah, I would feel weird putting her above the crucifix too hahaha Good luck finding the perfect home for her!
Just running and wanted to say I enjoy your positivity . I have heard some people on social media complain if the condition of the room when they moved in (I’ve been guilty as well) but you really highlighted the positive !! That is so refreshing !!
There is a lot of stuff, don’t be afraid to get rid of stuff. Good luck, looking forward to watching your journey.
I’m sure you will make this room beautiful and functional like you did with the other classrooms. I know how you feel because I had to move schools 3 times in my first two years and then once in the third school I had to move classroom almost every year for the first 9-10 years. It was horrible!! Thankfully, I haven’t move in the last 8-10 years!!🤞🏼
I was where you are last year and have moved 3 times in 3 years (Yep, this year as well). I know the feeling! Last year, we just emptied out every shelf, drawer, closet and arranged in piles (A pile for reading, a pile for math, etc.). Then, going through the piles we either kept or got rid of. I invested in a lot of extra large, clear bins. I also had a "container store" from emptying containers when clearing out! Lol. Do you have help? I had help and it was a lifesaver for sure!
Try to divide your room into quarters and work on each section at a time to prevent feeling overwhelmed. When everything shut down in 2020, your incoming fourth graders were in kindergarten and will need tons of support with reading, phonemic awareness, and basic math skills. Give yourself time and grace to meet your students where they are academically. Best of luck to you and take care.
Too funny the comment about ‘ hey Jesus’
All the best with classroom setup. One bite at a time...❤
It will all come together.
Hi, I am so glad you are going back to 4th grade because I am looking for more upper elementary youtube channel. First, are you still in a Catholic School? I am asking because I am and it is so hard to find Catholic School teacher channels. If you are will you be doing videos as you have time for? I am asking because I could use siggestions on Religious Bulletin Boards and books. Thank you. Alicia from CT
I was thinking the previous teacher maybe left for her in case she needs it? Even though it is a mess.
I can tell you are just so sweet. 💕
I'm sorry you have to purge through the old teachers stuff. Not cool! Setting up your stuff without purging through someone else's things is challenging enough. Come on teachers who are moving on, we can do better, don't cause a cleaning mess for someone else to deal with. You have such a positive attitude about it - very Christ like. Welcome back to 4th grade!
I completely agree with you. It’s hard enough setting up a new classroom, let alone having to go through old teachers stuff. I hate that for you but continue with your positive attitude and I look forward to seeing your progress!!!!💕
