Congratulations! I hope your school year is amazing.

I made a teacher tool box for all of my supplies. it’s probably the most used thing in my workspace- for years! I found cute freebie labels on TPT

Yesss!! I have one too and I love it!

The color pencil sharpener bucket is genius!!

Thank you for doing a part 2, these were great tips! It’s my first year teaching and I have no clue what I’ll need!

Congrats on your first teaching job!! Glad this was helpful!

Absolutely to the dry erase sleeve. I teach k2 math intervention so i make 6 copies of each practice page and put them in sleeves and i hardly ever have to make extra copies.

Thank you!! Love the binder clip idea for your mailboxes! 🤗

I second getting the bigger drawers for papers- not only can you stagger stack, like you mentioned, but you can also fit bigger paper like construction paper and even other supplies that don't fit in the smaller ones. That way you have everything ready to go!

I have a large visual wall timer countdown clock-that I have used all 12 years (so far). That I have taught. I started in 2nd grade and have ended up in 7th grade but I have used that timer with every age group. It’s the one thing I don’t think I could live without while teaching.

Oh this is so cool!! Where did you get it?

Thank you😋 love the dry easer pocket sleeves. They will be very useful for my small groups

yess, i appreciate hearing what you use no matter what grade bc then i can start preparing early!

All your vlogs are great. I always learn something new from your teaching content :)

I use the mailbox system for my students as well, works great!

I love your videos and find them incredibly helpful! This is my first year and I'll be teaching 2nd grade. 😊

I’m teaching next year! I’m a para right now. Thank you for these videos, I’m looking at tips and yours are wonderful!

Thank you for the practical suggestions! I also benefit from having a personal paper cutter and laminator that have been life savers more times than I can count.

Any specific advice/must haves for a first year first grade teacher??

You have such good ideas. This is kina of a silly request, but I would love to see how you style your hair. I have the same cut, but I cannot seem to style it quite like you do. Maybe it's the hair brush. Anyway, I love you hair. I know you shower at night, but do you also dry your hair after your shower? You always look so put together.

Great ideas for teacher must haves. Where did you get the shirt you are wearing? I have trouble finding shirts like that!

Love it! What kind of document camera do you have and do you like it?

I need help with student mailboxes. I have 3 blocks of 30 students each. Should the students share the mailboxes, I don’t want to have to get 3 sets. I tried having 3 milk crate filing systems but it is so messy and bulky.

Can you share more about Monday folders or can you tag the video where you talked about it ?

@mrs_katie_in_elementary

They are actually called Friday Folders. It is what my school uses as parent communication folders. A parent volunteer comes on Thursday or Friday to put sorted graded papers and other school related flyers in the folders. Students take them home over the weekend, parents empty and sign behavior/AR check in pages, then students bring them back and put them in that cart on Mondays
