Having such a colorful, animated classroom with things all over and numbers not in order would be such a struggle for me. Kids obviously love it.. My dilemma. Any fellow OCD teachers out there?

When I'm older I want to be a teacher and so I can but this channel will help me fir later on in life . I love you and your channel so much . I stay up at night watching your videos !

Preparing for my (hopefully) first school year teaching next year. Thank you for posting such informative videos and sharing your knowledge!

Wow... That's really awesome. Here in Mexico we have to share the classroom with the other teacher depending on which switch you are (morning or afternoon)

i really love this almost my 3rd grade room looks like this i hope you have a great time with your vlogs

This looks amazing and very inspiring. Did you buy all the furniture and shelving with your own money? Was it massively pricey to achieve this room?

Hey question would you ever go back to teaching kindergarten ever again or teacher primary grade level like first grade second grade or possibly third grade??

I am currently a sub and slowly collecting materials for my future classroom. Do you have any suggestions on where to get durable materials that will last in the classroom? P.S. I love your classroom!

Hi Sydney. Thank you for watching. I pull from so many resources but I also sit down and think about the different strategies they teach in college and how to scaffold your students' learning. I will start making a list of the resources and let you know!

I love it

I’m in 10th grade right now. I want to be a kindergarten teacher one day, but the thought of it makes me anxious. About what materials to have, what to teach, and other stuff like that.

I've watched this like 4 times! I'd like to know more about those dry erase math practice fluency folders you have (what sheets do have inside?). Really interested in your daily data, counting jar, and estimation station. Thinking about adding that into my 1st grade class. I wish I could come and observe you teach! :) keep sharing, I want to know everything! 😜

+tamicay925 You are so sweet! Thank you for watching the 'movie'. I know this was super long but I'm known to ramble A LOT. Yeah, my reading coach shared this with me. If you go on TPT and type math fluency sheets you are bound to get so many. I tried to incorporate various things: finger fluency, die fluency, number fluency, shape fluency... really all you need to do is reflect on what concepts you teach in math and look for fluency sheets. I will do a post soon on my reading/math fluency and early finishers tub. Did you see the vlog post called Questions Answered? It has my explanation about my counting jar. Thanks again. I hope this helped. If not let me know!

You inspired me so much on how to set up your classroom and a zillion other things but that would probably take a hour to say it all:)

Wait until you have a career, so you can pay for the child and have a good stable income. My cousin has a baby the last semester of high school and her life is pretty much screwed

I am catching up on your vlogs and am very curious about how you had your kinders organize the classroom library. Were their common categories that they came up with? Are there any blog or vlogs that I could get more details about your process? If not, no worries, I know that you are working with older grades now :) Thank you for your vlogs!

Welcome! I don't have a video about my K library, I started vlogging after we had it set up. I chose to let the students set up the library. They made their choice by "likeness" while we talked about Fiction and Non-Fiction. Then they came up with their own categories.

+Raylee Hood I've taught in a classroom where students used these and the exercise balls minimized distractions actually because the students could fidget on them instead of tilting their chairs. Expectations and how to use them just need to be enforced and practiced a lot at the beginning of the year, but that is true for anything.

Over beautifies classroom..Not my type.....There should also be spaces which are not over beautified...
