Sorry to hear about your husband. I too am a wife, teacher with a husband who battled stage 4A colon cancer. My kids were 3 and 18 mo when he was first diagnosed. He is going on 4 years cancer free, but spent 10 years battling. Now my kiddos are 11 and 14 . God is good and healed him. Praying all well be well for you and your family too.

I’m definitely so thankful for our budget!! We’re going fairly well all things considered 💞

I loved this video last year and I love it this year (especially with your little guy). It's always fun to see what other teachers are buying for the upcoming school year. I teach TK so the things I buy may not make sense to you but I did order velcro dots. I think you can use them for stuff around your classroom. :)

Velcro dots!! I never think to use these but they are so helpful. I think I might have some stowed away in my cabinets somewhere lol. Thank you so much for the kind feedback & now I’m determined to find or buy Velcro dots!

I’m a third grade teacher also! Thanks for these videos. They get me excited to go back when I am feeling nervous! lol💝

Aww yay! I love third grade! Third grade friends!! So glad they make you excited 💞

I use crayons for regular use, but keep big buckets of markers and coloring pencils for projects. This helps streamline and also makes the other supplies extra special!

Okay I’m obsessed with this idea!! Yes! I’m doing this!!

Just got my first job out of college as a 3rd grade teacher!! I am so so so excited but also very overwhelmed. I was wondering, with all of the books I have bought/been donated, I am feeling STRESSED on making categories for my library... Any tips or tricks for categorizing books? Also, do you have any websites that are great for leveled books??

Congrats!! Welcome to the best grade!! I loved using the lessons with laughter classroom library labels. If you want to keep it simple for your first year you could separate between fiction & nonfiction, put series in bins and the others not in bins. I personally wouldn’t worry about leveling books unless your school asks you too. A lot of schools are moving away from that! But if you have to - here’s the website I used my first few years: bookwizard.scholastic.com. Good luck!!

I HATE colored pencils in my classroom. Kids spend way to much time sharpening them and breaking them. Crayons are my go to (even as a high school teacher) because even if they get broken in half they can still be used. I dump about two boxes of crayons into mini tubs and have those throughout my classroom depending on what we are doing. And again, if a kid breaks a crayon, I don't care. Also target has them for 50 cents a box around back to school season, so I stock up them.

Okay I love this feedback lol - I think I’m going to try no colored pencils this year!!

I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. I feel you about coming back from maternity leave and not really knowing what’s going on. I had an amazing sub too which was great. It’s just hard coming in and not knowing where things are 😅 He is so cute!

Hello Mrs Leet! During your latest video, didn’t you say you might need some more zippered pockets?

Hi Jennifer! You’re so right, thanks for bringing that up. I found a ton at my house so I decided I should be okay. I appreciate you looking out for me 🫶

Could you add your spreadsheet, show your spreadsheet or do a video on your spreadsheet? I would love to institute!

Sorry I didn’t share it, I didn’t think my spreadsheet would be of any interest to anyone. I’ll try to make a short showing it!

For the quote posters do they make up their own quotes or do you provide the quotes?

@lifewithmrsleet3708

Generally I provide them, i get them from this TPT product. www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Growth-Mindset-Inspirational-Poster-Quotes-Students-Design-Their-Learning-Space-298948?st=12d41cdede6f3f2eb39cbfae84598ee3 However I’ve had students that had a quote in mind that they wanted and I would type it up and print it for them also!
