  This is such a late comment (considering this video was posted 10 months ago) that I don't know if you will ever see, but can you talk more about your classroom management? I just finished my first year and I feel like I relied wayyyy too heavily on my treasure box as a behavior motivation. I'd love to know what you do instead!

  Thank you so much for sharing this challenge. The idea that teachers are able to complete their jobs with quality during contract hours is a farce. I am in year 10, and I rarely just work contract hours. It’s a shame that teachers aren’t treated as the professionals we are and adequately compensated.

•

  Thank you!! I aspire to be able to only work my contract hours, but it’s so hard. I get so frustrated with people telling you to just do it, when it’s hard to do a really good job AND stick to contract time.

  I’m sure this is obvious, but if you are planning for things that come up every year take your time the first year and then save those plans for next year. I also planned with my teammate. I made reading plans, she made math plans and then we both taught them and saved them. Of course, they were tweaked the next year, but it saved time in the long run. Same with slides saved in your computer. I saved mine month by month. Also, one thing I did for special days like holidays, was print copies for the next year and save them. That way, I always had something for an emergency sub to do if I got sick and had no plans.

  Wow, Teaching has took a huge shit, since I've been in school. After watching this video I now understand why kids today can't write in cursive or write a correct paragraph. Wow, also since when did we have two recessed in 5th grade. Also, we really need to get back to basics when we come to education, no Chromebooks. More interaction with the teacher. From what I seen in this video, I see a young so called teacher that doesn't really what to do what she's doing. Wow.

  A good literacy board I've used in 5th grade has genres and their meanings, and a space for children to put book recommendations. You could also put up posters of some authors. I've seen teachers display reading skills, or display the books they have read as a class. Having spellings up somewhere is always a good idea, but make sure you can swap them out as children learn them so don't staple them. You might not want to display students names and characteristics publicly. If anything, it might be distracting and they might not want it displayed. It's also such prime real estate. I would use them for anything that you want children to memorise, such as a cursive alphabet if some of your kids are still struggling with handwriting, a place-value chart i or two (in numerals and spelled out), fraction posters, a history timeline (always useful), skip counting numbers, maths synonyms for the four operations, etc. You could also put up a class motto. I kept books in tubs by subject and have selected kids hand them out. Often I'd make it a reward or give the jobs to kids who needed physical brain breaks. Requires some management at first but after a few weeks it worked well. Have fun this year. Thank you for the great videos.

  As for your long , narrow bulletin board, maybe use it for your school's behavior plan. I don't know if you teach or use cursive. I will this year since I'll be teaching Social Studies. Many primary sources in American history are written in cursive, so I see value in learning it. We study the western hemisphere, including the Declaration of Independence. Maybe you can put up the letters on that board?

  My entire school has tables K-6th. There are maybe 2-3 dozen desks in the entire building. It was disconcerting when I taught 6th grade Math/Science/Social Studies the last 2 months of the 2021-2022. Last year, I taught 5th grade ELA. This year, I will teach Social Studies, too. We're departmentalized. We do use book bins. My school bought most of them, but I had some already, and bought some. We use a 3 ring notebooks which they keep in the bin. They keep all their work and curriculum pages in there. We use EL. It can be totally digital. The books we use are regular books instead of text books. They are kept on a communal shelf. They also keep 1-2 books for independent reading time.

  2nd grade. I had tables last year but am trying desks this year. So much talking and lots of opportunities for distraction. For storage, I used tall square stacking bins from Dollar Tree. They had a design cut out of the sides. Each table had one that sat in the middle. It comfortably held 4 folders, 8 notebooks, and 4 Chromebooks with plenty of room left. Teach them to take care of the bin and keep it organized--It pays off. I replaced them mid-year, but they could have easily lasted all year. Pencil boxes stayed on the table, but just pushed to the edge. An easy solution would be to just have them hang their bookbag on the back of their chair. I always had bad luck with book bins being too full and falling over. I was interested in what could go in those elongated board spaces. Most photos of vintage classrooms show student artwork, the alphabet, or a number line in those spaces. I can't tell if it is true bulletin board material or chalk in your room. If it is chalk, then using chalk markers to add a mural would look awesome. The space is less than ideal but adds so much character to your room. Good luck!

  @@Picklementary No, but I know some people in general don't love the idea. My everyday function isn't going to be hindered by a one off parent's opinion. My secondary reasoning, other than functionality, is that kids aren't great at being responsible for their personal items at all (3rd grade). If they are asked to put something away in their cubby, it doesn't always make it. If someone is coming around picking up the glue stick or the scissors, they are forced to handle it in that moment, locate it, and return it. I just think supplies are better taken care of that way.
