as a teachers kid i have to help with this nearly every year and i feel awful because i’ve kinda grown to hate it. watching this is honestly helping me hate it less because it’s an honest look into the pure excitement of a teacher that still cares and really made me realize some of my moms madness. thank you
I taught for 40 years and this brings me right back to my first classroom of my own. Back to school was always the best time, I hope you have as wonderful a career as I did. Always remember that your students will look to you for security and support, sometimes the days lesson is not as important as reassuring a scared child. Have a wonderful time!! I'm going to subscribe so I can follow your journey.
I was in fourth grade like two years ago, and no offense, but everyone would think that is lame, but I think that is a great idea for like, 2nd graders!
Wow! I’ve been teaching for 17 years and I love to see new excited teachers like you. We need more good ones! Also, your principal sounds super supportive. Best of luck to you on this journey❤️
OH MY GOSH!!! Listening to you share about your room reminded me SO MUCH of myself in my first room! The previous teacher left so many things, and I felt so overwhelmed!! I ended up putting it all into one cabinet that I basically ignored all year. Hahaha! Great minds think alike! :)
This video just popped up on my feed today as I've finished up my summer classes recently. I'm studying to be an art teacher and aiming to teach in high school and get nervous thinking of the day I'll graduate and get the job of my dreams and my own classroom. Videos like these make me even more excited to finally graduate. Good luck with everything for your first year and many more to come
I’m also a first year 4th grade teacher! I’m starting out with nothing & my room is a blank slate, so thank you for this video! it’s helpful to have an idea of where to start :)
"I'm running on pure adrenaline....and anxiety...and it's just great" - I LOVE this line so much! Know exactly how you feel. About to sign my first contract as a new teacher tomorrow for middle school, and I cannot wait to get the keys to my classroom and start moving stuff in!! Congrats to you! Take care and Good Luck!
Hi! I love classroom set up videos, & this is my first time watching you! I do have a suggestion for the cubby. Put crates in them as a spot to keep classroom notebooks, or shared craft supplies so they are easily accessible but not cluttering space then decorate every other one with books/plushies for whatever season/holiday you're in!
Keep the storage unit! You can use it for manipulatives, supplies, baskets for literally endless things LOL. I had a similar shelf in my room and I used it to store my math games and manipulates.
I went and bought the stuff for my pre-k classroom birthday board today. I was so excited I was literally bounding around the 0.99 Store like a lunatic five minutes after they opened. 🙃 T-Minus 30 days until my last day at my current job... 31 until my first day of training. SQUEEEE. Congrats to you. 🧡 I'm happy for you.
the fact that I’m a 11th that likes to watch classroom set ups is unusual I don’t think anyone my age an my graded watches this but I guess because I want to be (well plan ) a teacher . But can’t wait to see the final look didn’t know that u guys replied to my comment , makes me feel good that I’m not the only ! 🥺 it’s just something about these videos
I’m in 11th grade to and I just really enjoy these types of videos. I watch a couple other channels too because I enjoy seeing the different ways teachers have their classrooms. It’s so sad that all these teachers have such beautiful classroom to engage students but all the classrooms I learn in are so dull and boring. I wish high school teachers could do this. (though I understand that it is very expensive and time consuming)
You will learn almost ALL teachers leave crap behind - so pretty much no matter where you go, unless it's a brand new school classroom, there will be leftover stuff for you to deal with. Sometimes it's useful - sometimes the previous teachers gets in touch and tells you to look through it and let them know if you wanted any of it -and sometimes, they just PEACE OUT. Much to the annoyance of the new teacher and the principal haha.
I’m a second year elementary music teacher. I absolutely love your classroom. The crazy thing is that due to COVID I have never been allowed to teach in MY classroom. I am on a cart going room to room. I did decorate my cart though. :)
You poor thing :(, I can’t imagine how it felt wanting to tackle something and just finish something but it seeming like to big of a task but I’m so exited for your classroom to come along! Ive had so many experiences where I wanted to finish a task but couldn’t bring myself to so your not alone❤️ so proud of you for how much you got done!
Idk if you’ll see this but that brown box thing looks like it could be used for paperwork. It has Monday thru Friday amount of boxes. Just get some metal paper things that could just slide into them and put their work in there or other papers
turn it into a shoe cubby! make a rule you have to wear socks if you wanna take your shoes off and maybe put down some mats or maybe even a rug! makes the classroom alot more cozy and safe feeling. I wish my teachers did that
I know you’ve moved to middle school but I just got moved to fourth grade so I’m watching all your fourth grade videos for ideas. I’m moving from first to fourth
if i became a teacher i would only use leds for light. and always have the lights off. i suffer with headaches all the time so if my teacher did this now i would love them forever, i aspire to be that teacher 😁
First year as a teacher or first year as a 4th grade teacher? And also you seem like you will be a good teacher, super chill and laid back but also peppy and bubbly, hope that makes sense😀
Hi am in my upcoming senior year and I am going through the process of certifications for two states Arizona and California . I attended Grand Canyon University My degree is Early childhood development and Special education. I can't wait to get through student teaching and get my classroom, I already have so much stuff in my house for my future class that I have transformed my office into a small classroom 🙃 Your video gives me the motivation to keep going knowing that their is a rainbow at the end of the tunnel!!!
My aunts a teacher and I went with her this year to go help her clean out her classroom from the old teacher that was in there and there was a closet and it was packed to the ceiling of old junk that the old teacher left in there it took us 3 1/2 hours just to clear out all of the boxes but besides that it was fun decorating
How does your elementary school work? As you said you only teach writing, do they switch classes throughout the day like middle and high school? Just curious, cause that’s super different!
When I was in elementary school, starting fifth grade (not fourth like her) we rotated between three teachers and each teacher taught two subjects. The goal was to help us make the transition into middle school. Like packing our things and getting to and from class in the allotted time, etc…
Keep it simple. Focus on routines and procedures and behavior mgt system. Get to know your curriculum. You can’t teach without those things in place first. Decorate it with your students work
Those LED lights could make it really hard for kids to focus or to actually see the board, especially kids who have glasses or other vision problems. I know my sister I would not be able to read anything on the board with those on due to our vision and my ADHD. You might want to consider moving them to another place in the room that the kids won’t be looking at for long periods of time.
Do you know if we’re gonna use masks for this school year? AHH I’m so excited to go back to see my teachers classroom it might be simple and boring but that’s okay as long as I get my education it’s alright 😎
I’m a student and I love these videos
Every year I look up these videos
same its so entertaining lmao
@@aliciabenitez3399 I should start doing that
Same
Yeah, it makes me excited to go to school

@@emilyinthemiddle3119 can u like my comment I started watching you yesterday 💘
I’m 29 and to this day, I still remember my 4th grade teacher … congrats on your new journey in cementing yourself into so many kids’ lives!
@@brittanyminh omg Lol. That’s traumatic
You could use that little box thing as storage or like treasure boxes when your kids are good they can pick a box and pick something out of the box!
I was in fourth grade like two years ago, and no offense, but everyone would think that is lame, but I think that is a great idea for like, 2nd graders!
@@ingridstockman6668 lame? When I was in 5th grade we had one of these and I loved it😭 what has changed with kids nowadays??
@@ingridstockman6668 man, kids nowadays. We had one of those till I was in like eighth grade and everyone thought it was like filled with gold 💀
I was in 4th a few years ago and even if we were upset with our toy we still loved the rush of winning something yk 😭
Oh, I don’t know, maybe it was just my class that was messed up lol
If ur teaching writing you could make the kids do pen pals or something 🙃
i’m starting high school in 3 weeks & ive always wanted to be an elementary teacher, these videos make me so excited & motivated to keep going :-)
i hope high schools going well!
@@shxmxoo3442 thank you! it is, i started a new school (going to an arts school) & my grades are really good rn!!

Things like this inspire me to keep going and to reach for my dreams of being a teacher!
Keep the storage unit! You can use it for manipulatives, supplies, baskets for literally endless things LOL. I had a similar shelf in my room and I used it to store my math games and manipulates.

I’ve been watching these kinds of videos forever and I’m a senior in hs now.
I'm going to 8th grade on August 19 and I miss 4th grade it was simple and fun and my teacher impacted my life and motivated me to learn.

Idk if you’ll see this but that brown box thing looks like it could be used for paperwork. It has Monday thru Friday amount of boxes. Just get some metal paper things that could just slide into them and put their work in there or other papers
I'm a 4th grader too and I love watching these videos
i think you forgot to put the reel in lol
when i was in 4th grade that map was so helpful for my hands on mind
turn it into a shoe cubby! make a rule you have to wear socks if you wanna take your shoes off and maybe put down some mats or maybe even a rug! makes the classroom alot more cozy and safe feeling. I wish my teachers did that
HER: i will play it right now

congratssss… i think you should tackle those bulletin boards first ❤️❤️❤️
The fact the principals expect the teachers to bring everything them selves don’t get paid enough
Can you share the info for LED lights? 😊
Cubbies! Use those for your home room kids!!
Seriously 😂😂 those things are expensive!!!!
ok but am I the only one who is not is 4th grade and love these videos!!!
I can’t wait to see it❤

yes it’s like that!! they switch 3 times since there are 3 of us teaching. the goal is to somewhat prepare them for middle school!
good luck!!
I'm a student and I'm in 4 grand and i love these videos😊😊

Yes. Purge and organize.

they won’t be on during instruction time!☺️ and i added burlap to help with the harshness as well
😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do teachers have to empty out and change classrooms often or does this just happen when you change schools?
are you uploading day 2 of setup today?
i will put it up tomorrow morning!!! ☺️
omg you look fresh out of highschool period
Do you know if we’re gonna use masks for this school year? AHH I’m so excited to go back to see my teachers classroom it might be simple and boring but that’s okay as long as I get my education it’s alright 😎
I’m pretty sure you have to wear a mask if you’re not vaccinated. But maybe that’s just wear I live !
💕 love
I love your video
I'm going to 5th in a new school I'm pretty nervous
