First, I want to say, I'm not a teacher, but I was a teacher assistant for years and my daughter was studying and is now in her 3rd year teaching 3rd grade, I've been watching you since the beginning and you are such a kind and wonderful teacher despite all of the changes and bad experiences in your past schools. My daughter has used and loved lots of your tips and tricks and we both appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos and helping other teachers. I have noticed some teachers are not as welcoming of your purchases and things you do for your class, but a lot of us feel that it's not your decor or the things you buy, but it's YOU that changes these children's lives, and any parent would be excited to have you as their child's teacher! Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for saying this Kaylyn!!!

The amount of times I have said "I hate sweating" this summer while setting up my room (and running summer camps at our school), was too many. Haha I totally lost it when you said the same! It's amazing how much goes into setting up a classroom. My husband keeps asking me, how is there STILL stuff left to do? I keep trying to explain that the painting, furniture, and big stuff is like the tip of the iceberg, bare minimum for what I want to do. All the labels, building centers, organizing materials, it all takes so much time. And the more time I spend now, the easier it will be for me later. But that's hard to grasp if you aren't a teacher.

I loved this classroom setup series. You have truly come into what kind of teacher you are and what you need in your classroom. I love how everything has a purpose. I still watch your first year setup vlogs because of your excitement and awe of it actually happening.

Awesome video! Each year I love seeing how your classrooms come together from start to finish….. I love how you hung your letters and secret stories letters. I agree with you the numbers shouldn’t go with the letters - it would be too much like you said…. This year will be the first year I video tape my lessons to see how I am doing and what I need to improve on (like you do)…. Thank you sooo much for all your inspiration!!! 😍

I had the same struggles this year. Trying to keep it simple, and feeling the heavy weight of all the things on the wall. I put up my secret stories in the same place but I think I am going back up on the ladder and making them all in rainbow color order like you did. It does make it look less chaotic. Thank you!

Your classroom looks so good! 💕🌿☀️You have lots of natural light from the windows and the rainbow secret story posters is a great idea! I teach kindergarten in Canada and I’m planning on buying a new classroom rug that’s the same as yours cause you make it look so pretty. I think it was a good choice to get less cluttered number posters. When I looked at you letter “L” poster I found it a little difficult to read because the uppercase L is so close to the lowercase. I would use a sharpie to draw a line/expend the space between the letters so it’s readable for the kiddos!

Please remember that you are looking at the posters through a video. I'm sure the L l is easier to see in person.

Looks absolutely beautiful!! You did such a great job Mayleen! 💛 Can’t wait to watch your teaching vlogs this year!!!

You could run a peice of twine across the wall with the windows and clip your numbers on that. It all looks great!

You could put the numbers on the green wall. Just a thought. I’ve loved your classroom set up videos. You seem like such a great and amazing teacher. Have a great year!!

You are so passionate with all you do!Your class set up is top notch! I wish I was your student🤣. Thank you for your inspiration.🙏

Glad everything came together.

It's a beautiful room. It really shows your love for your students that you work this hard to make their classroom so comfy. Your love shows in your teaching as well. I'm with you though...I despise classroom set up.

Love your videos!!! Maybe instead of putting up your numbers, put them on a ring and hang by your number line. Then when you need one you can flip that to the front to show the kiddos? 😊

Put the numbers on the green wall OR on the window in the middle over the white board. Looks great!

Your classroom looks so cozy 🥰

I’ve watched almost every classroom set up & I love it! You could maybe hang the them vertically in the reading corner by the window?

I’m not sure if anyone suggested this, but you could hang the numbers on a string and hang them in front of your windows if you find you do need them

I am a teacher in the Netherlands and have been watching a couple of classroom setup's. I am horrified at the conditions and lack of funding.... Except for my personal nicknacks like a frame for pictures everything is bought by the school, even stuff like pencils, cleaning supplies... We have ICT personal who take care of all computer-related things for you. And I heared you don't get payed in summer? Wow! No wonder so many teachers quit! Here you get payed 12 months, a bonus in december and in may jou get holiday-money (both together a little bit less then one month salary. It is shame that nobody recognizes the importance of your work or values it as or should be! I hope you will have a great group of students this year.
