I’ll never understand people who have an issue with how other people decorate their classrooms. I’m one of the only people on my team who has really decorated their room, and that’s fine; it brings me joy, so I chose to do it.

I’m the same way. I love decorating my classroom, but I’m the most decorated in my department/school. I also teach high school, so I think that where some of that comes from, but students really enjoy having a decorated classroom.

It’s not particularly having a problem with it I think it’s more awkward when they did something you don’t find that nice or convenient and then you have another problem to address when you’re already stressed and busy. It just adds on to the amount of work… at least that’s what I think.

I'm 21 and live in Canada and not a single school in my area ever had anyone decorate their classrooms. I think potentially it's not allowed in the school district near me I'm not sure. But when I found out teachers in America decorate their classrooms I was 17 (already out of school) and I spent our and hours watching classroom set ups because I found it so fascinating. Honestly the difference between American teachers and Canadian is completely different I've not met a single teacher Irl who actually liked teaching. But I personally think the effort teachers put into decorating their classrooms for themselves and their class is amazing and should be appreciated. I hate that people discourage them I went to a school that literally looked like a prison and all other schools in the district did too... So things like this would be awesome

Folks need to chill out and mind their business!! You are suhsniney and very inspiring! Its easy to call each other out but your room is your room and vice versa. The joy you have and get by setting up a new classroom is something not everyone has. Live your life and keep being positive! ❤️

Love the multiple layers of border look! And I totally agree:pop of color with white and black makes things looks fresh and clean!

There is no such thing as too much pink! Your classroom should be what you want, you spend so much time there, and it gives the kids a space to spend their day as well. Love the vlog style videos, your positive attitude is contagious! ❤️

The bulletin boards turned out so cute Lauren! I love the addition of the paper fans and how it makes the board more 3D! Editing to add that I really enjoy the vloggy type videos. It feels like we're actually hanging out with you in your every day life rather than your life just in the classroom! :)

I think that you're setting your classroom up in the right way. I would start with the boards too. It would give me more insight on how to decorate the rest of the room. It overwhelms me so much. Hearing you talk about the tools, I have some I got from 5 below and from a family dollar. I have had them for years. I am also a photographer and I am always buying things for props. I have been watching a lot of classroom setups video and seeing how teachers add different seatings. My thought was to use my stools and cover them with some kinda of cushion too. I am glad you mentioned that, that was your plan too. I can't wait to see how you did yours.

🥳Hooray for your very 1st day of Kindergarten Classroom Setup!!!! This is history in the making and so cool that you have it documented here for us/me to enjoy! 👍👍Kudos to successfully completing the very creative bulletin boards and triple border!! Extra points for using the industrial stapler - ouch on your hand 🤚 those staplers are no joke and do take a lot of force to work. Glad you persevered and got it done! You GO! 🥰 😍I absolutely love your vlogs and the different formats. Showing a day in your life is always special because it gives us a chance to know a little more about you outside of the classroom. Your school vlogs are also enjoyable and informative. Either way - I’ll be watching them. 🥰 FYI - Check your wireless glue gun tip to make sure it’s not blocked or covered. Also, depending on the length of your glue stick, you might have to put in two back to back. Hope you get it to work. Again, A+MAZING job with first day of class setup! I get to enter my classroom later this week and can’t wait! 🥰

You've been spoiling us with so many videos lately and I'm HERE FOR IT! I truly truly love you and your channel and your vlogs bring me a ridiculous amount of joy! Xo, Mandy

The triple border is adorable!! Love it.

I like the vlog style! But also love the classroom content!! Any of your videos are fine with me!!

Love the all the real life content along with classroom content!! Excited to watch your room come together.

I enjoy the extra chatty set up vlogs!

I love watching you set up each year! We spend hours of our day in school. We might as well make it an atmosphere we enjoy! My desk is built into a counter and I’m thinking about getting that dot vinyl wallpaper/contact paper for the “backsplash.” So much fun!

Happiness is in the eye of the beholder! So if you like it I love it. Your room is beautiful!

I like how you are sharing your whole day in your vlog.

MADE MY DAY TO SEE THIS POP UP ON MY FEED!!!

Love all your vlogs!!!! Do what makes you happy don’t worry about what others think. ❤️ I have centers in my room dramatic play, blocks, writing, reading loft and large carpet tables ones. My students love um!!!!!!

Love the vlog style video! I always get such joy from watching your videos! You and your kinders are going to have such a great year! 💛💛

Bulletin boards look so clean! Spectacular decision.

I liked your decor in your first grade classroom, but this new decor will be great too. I love how the triple borders look. Neat, clean, and colorful too. I’d watch any kind of vlog you make, but this vlog style with Teddy and your errands are probably my favorite. Either way, my most favorite thing about your vlogs is how you express yourself, so funny and quick-witted. 😀 I really laughed out loud when you described that staple gun as being for a “full-grown, well-fed man”. (Clearly an accurate description, given what it did to your hand! 😮)

I absolutely love your classroom setup videos! 💜 I had about 2 weeks to set up my classroom last year and it was rough, I was hanging up titles on my bulletin board minutes before open house started!

This may have already been said, but you can use a regular stapler too! Most have a lever on the bottom that open them up flat to staple on a bulletin board ☺️

I'm a middle school teacher and have been watching you since you first started! Love your content 🙂 I would be super curious to hear you talk about/compare teaching in a new state compared to Massachusetts. Massachusetts is always voted #1 for education, pensions, etc. It's also higher than many other states for salaries too. I'd just think it'd be super interesting!! I also like your vlog style videos & always look forward to your content!

Your boards are looking awesome! I agree that your staple gun is more for construction. Personally I just use a classic swingline stapler for my boards - the kind with the hinge that allows it to open up flat. Kind of old school but it works great!

I love the vlog style...set up, but other stuff too💗

I love vlogg style! And go pink and you can add colors in other ways!!! Boys like pink too!
