This series really shows how much teachers take out of their own pocket to make sure their students have everything they need and feel comfortable in their environment. It just sucks that teachers are way underpaid.

Not a teacher just love these videos.

I wish all teachers had a theme for their class room!

Last year was my first year teaching. My room was bare and we also have to supply the majority of what we use in the classroom. Chart paper and basic supplies really add up! I have found some really good deals on schoolspecialty.com for chart paper and sentence strips etc. Also- do not be afraid to ask for supplies for parents! On our open house I make a donation board with sticky notes. I write things like expo markers, card stock, printer paper, crayons etc. I basically just mention it and parents were eager to buy things for the classroom.

Loving your channel ! I’m in college majoring in education, and was wondering if maybe you could do a video on what that was like for you - your journey to becoming a teacher, including the struggles. It would really help !(:

For the interactive board you should make a tree that has all there names on it and each day they can put there name on the tree if they are there (they attended class ) there names can be on leaves 😊 you can use Velcro

The amount of work you put in is amazing! I wish I had a teacher as passionate and committed as you growing up. I watched all 6 of your videos in one day and they were so fun and interesting! Great work and good luck!!

Since the bulletin is right beside the library you should make some sort of graph with all of their names and every book they read they get to add a sticker or a pin to the board

You are precious and are delightful to watch. I showed your vlogs to my dad who is retired now, obviously, and he said he'd have hired you on the spot because you are just the type of teacher that he used to look for - creative, ready to go, still learning new things. Also - just a little bit of info. - my dad was one of the original creators of the Gifted and Talented program from the 70's. He has written many things on it and has writtem many curriculums for many, many schools. You are a joy to watch! Best of luck this year to you and yiour campers!!!

THANK YOU SARA! I've known for years that I wanted my classroom to have a nature theme and be calming - I've read research on how students can be overstimulated and I personally feel more comfortable in a room that has calming themes/colors.

I know this is super late , but I think you should do a little birthday calender. For all the students upcoming birthdays and have your class doing something fun that day so they feel very motivated and happy to come to school and know that it's important to celebrate everyone's birthday! :)

Ashley Wilson I was too! I was scared she was going to get hurt. This was me my first year.

For your bulletin board, you could use one for classroom rules/ expectations. Have a discussion with your class on the first day about what the rules should be and then have them create posters or something similar to illustrate the ideas. This would be meaningful for them. You have way more patience than me! I don't understand why they are all tricky to use at first! But you'll get the hang of it! I just bought a smaller one for my classroom, just to have on hand 🤣

since the bulletin board is by the library center you could make it a book suggestion wall. the kids can write little sentences about the book if they liked it. im not sure if this is too much for 1st graders but i like the idea

You are an absolute saint and every thing I aspire to be as a teacher I'm super excited I just started school for elementary education I hope I can be half as amazing as you are

I really want to be a teacher when I’m older. I’m about to be a freshman in high school. I know teaching doesn’t make a lot of money but it’s an amazing job that helps shape kids minds. Props to you for working so hard for kids.

you could do an interactive mood wall on that bulletin board where kids can put different expressions for how they’re feeling for the day. that way you will know if a kid is being particularly uncooperative or detached and the kids can learn about emotion as well!

the bulletin board in the library can be ‘vote on the book of the week’ type thing. each kid has there number and you’ll give three book options and they can place they’re numbers to vote for the book

I love how she has the classroom it’s supper pretty ❤️

Definitely tackle the back to school clearance come September. Use teacher discount programs as much as you can.

Do a "What I'm Reading" board for the kids.

You don't need to buy everything! I plan on making a video eventually about things you should buy but do NOT feel pressure to at all!!!

My 1st grade teacher had this system (hers was fishing themed but you could really do whatever) where if you did something nice or good, you got a slip of paper that fit with the theme to put your name on. Then at the end of the week she would pick 3 and those people would get a prize! I thought it was fun and a good way to reward kindness:)

Oh man. I feel ya with the staple gun.! 🤣🤣When I did these 9 years ago there were no KZread videos on crate stools. I bought an electric staple gun... so scary. But good news, my crate stools are going on 10ish years with k-2 students and they’ve held up great!

I'm an 8th grade student who loves organizing rearranging things like this, and I absolutely love these types of videos no matter who it is. I want to be a teacher for Elementary School, but don't really know what grade probably third but I don't know yet. For one of the bulletin boards you should do a birthday wall, or my Elementary School used to do star student where you pick students name out of a hat and they were the student of the week. They would bring something in from home every day and share it with the class. Most of the time everyone got to turn and it only took like 5 minutes at the end of the day

I'm sitting in my unfinished classroom eating lunch watching you struggle with the staple gun. Best ...Day....Ever! Your commentary is hilarious!!

I always thought making crate seats would be a pain, but after watching this video they seem so easy to make on your own. Someone made them for me when I decorated my preschool classroom a few years ago. Loved this VLOG! I go to KZread for literally everything...good to see I’m not the only one!

My son is going into first grade ( he didnt go to preschool and he is now 6yrs old) and in kinder he had a hard time hearing he eventually got ear tubes and can hear better now but not hearing caused a speech problem and has affected him from keeping up with the other kids in class. I am concerned on how he will handle first grade when he still is in speech learning how to sound certain letters out right but he also hasnt been able to write at the level hes suppose to be at. What do you do in those cases? When some students are more behind than others and are having a hard time keeping up #askmrscall

Hi! I'm a teacher also and have been enjoying your videos. I teach fourth graders and one thing I have noticed is that many of them don't know nursery rhymes (Mother Goose). Perhaps, instead of a quote, you could put a rhyme up for students to do a quick fluency activity. You could also do short poems. Enjoy setting up your classroom. I'm waiting until next week because we could leave our bulletin boards up during the summer, so I covered them with painters plastic. I hope you have a fantastic year!
