Hi everyone! I am a second-year, fourth-grade teacher in Arizona and I am so happy you're here! I am just trying to document my journey through education during such a crazy time. I hope you stick around and subscribe to my channel. I am looking forward to interacting with you all and becoming a member of the teaching community here on social media!

Organizing bins and storage containers
My bins I use for my library are the mini sterilite crates from Walmart (they're on sale right now for $1.49) and I use the sterilite purple lock top bins from target for my student supplies! I also have black book bins from walmart that I can use for student book bins if needed this year, since my desks do not have storage underneath them. For my mailboxes, I use black sterilite crates and my master copies are all organized in binders! I actually don't get any bins from Amazon and going into my third year teaching, I actually don't need very many more bins thank goodness!
Pencils banner you could do write or writing.
BB all the same, refreshing! Neat and calming! Bravo!
Thank you! I love it to match I feel like for my personal preference it just doesn’t “match” unless they’re the exact same. Most of my borders were donated to me by a student my first year so I haven’t had to buy new borders even though I’ve switched classrooms 3 times already!
Put it in the hallway and put welcome on it
Great job so far. Where did you get the white racks that hold the crates?
I was just coming to ask that
My parents had those racks in our garage for over 20 years! They said they have no idea where they got them and I haven’t found something similar anywhere I’ve looked (I want a third rack lol)
@@leslieslittles2463 oh! I need something like that so much!!
Your team teacher needs to share the closet fairly.
I hope you agreed to closet arrangement.
Her room was filled with a bunch of novel study books from a previous teacher that she didn’t want to store in her room in case she didn’t use them. If we don’t use them this year we are going to donate them to the local teacher store next year(: So if I want to use the novel studies I can but if not the room will be freed up next year. (Plus as a baby teacher I don’t have too much to store she is a veteran teacher and has accumulated a lot herself) We did get to move my teacher desk in there as a workspace which was the only thing I was truly hoping for!
Can you link the top drawers that are on the white racks in the corner?

I love your bulletin boards! They look amazing! I’m terrible at bulletin boards. Where did you get those racks that hold your big Sterlite crates please?

@@leslieslittles2463 lol! Ok thank you so much! I appreciate it. They are awesome!
Hi Leslie! Make sure you put student numbers on the privacy folders. Students LOVE to write on them. This way you know who did it!
The shirts !!❤
Oh I have been buying far too many teacher tees on Temu. They’re so inexpensive and I’ve loved every one so far!
May I ask where you purchased your gray couch? It looks do comfy!
We got it from American Furniture Warehouse! It has storage and pulls out to a sofa bed as well! www.afw.com/levi-2pc-sectional-with-pull-out-bed
That sweet Schnauzer looks like my Albie❤❤ good ideas!
Another fellow Arizona teacher!! I hope your kids enjoy the birthday cups as much as mine do!!!

You're a teacher? You look like your 12.
Hi, just found your channel. Could you explain how you use the 3 subject notebook for ELA and Math? The school I'm at has them and I'm needing help with how to set it up please. Thank you. Alicia from CT
Hi! I am actually starting new this year I used 1 subjects last year and it wasn’t enough space for math and my ELA is actually going to be compiled of one subject for reading (we use wonders so this will include things like our genre studies, our weekly story graphic organizers, and essential question written responses) one subject will be for writing, and one subject will be a science/social studies combo. In their notebooks I give handouts they glue in, graphic organizers, give notes, and I make sure to explicitly teach how to reference their notebooks to help them look back on. As for math, I use the left side of the notebook as a Cornell style of note taking where the bottom “summary” section is actually usually used as a final exit ticket. The right side is where we do a few practice problems. After the notebook sections are completed we can do whiteboard practice, scoot games, write the rooms, Prodigy assigned questions practice, study island practice, stuff like that to practice the concept before we formally assess! I was planning on posting a full video about my notebooks but that’s a very general/vague outline of them so you have it before the school year starts!

It's nice.
⭐️ I have the same borders!
💞. Enjoying your videos.Just found your channel and looking for upper elementary channels because there are not very many. Good Luck with getting your room done. Love the double border with the white paper. Alicia from CT

Curious if you teach writing process as linear.
Typically I wouldn't but I did last year and I will assess where the kids are at this year. Our district has still been seeing negative effects from COVID affecting these kids' writing. This should be the last year I have to teach writing this way (hopefully) but in the beginning of the year this year and last year I had to explicitly teach writing as a step-by-step process because the students in my class last year didn't know how to plan a writing piece. They didn't know how to utilize writing graphic organizers. They didn't know how to structure a paragraph because they were all online and formatting writing pieces online is much different than handwriting them. For now, I have been teaching writing as a linear process also so I can teach how to format writing on both paper and the computer because their assessments are all online from 3rd grade and on.
You have so much storage! Wow! I like how all your borders are the same.
Thanks so much! 😊 All of our schools in the district have so many built ins and cabinets. This is the first classroom I've had such a large back counter the computers are on, usually they are just big enough for the Chromebook carts, BUT this classroom's counter is large enough to have space for students to work at! I am very blessed :)

It is looking great! Where did you get the clear and pink drawer organizers those are adorable!
The Container Store! They have other colors and sizes too! www.containerstore.com/s/organizer-trays/d?q=pink%20drawer%20organizer&productId=11019546
@@leslieslittles2463 Thank you 😊
Hello! Just a heads up that you might want to move the mini fridge since they sometimes leak. =)
Thanks for the tip!
To make life easier when it comes to putting up bulletin boards, if you're using a white background anyway, it's faster to just use a large white flat sheet in whatever size you want, which doesn't show any bubbles and is easier to hang up by thumbtacks and then staple it once you get it straight. One time I had to cover an entire back wall and used three queen sized sheets. And for smaller boards cheap material or sheets works and then you can just fold them up and use them again the following year.

⭐Looks like you're making good progress.
Still lots to unpack but I'm still not sure if I can put stuff on the floor yet so I'm very limited on what I can do! Thank you for watching until the end!!🌟
Beautiful baby congrats
Thank you! 🤗
Wow girl 2 weeks after baby I was still in bed 😂❤ you’re a rockstar
I'm pretty tired in the mornings, but after I get up and moving things feel pretty semi-normal. I'm very thankful my principal lets me bring him with me. The first real day back for teachers is Meet the Teacher night so I felt like I had to come in early because I only stay a couple hours at a time with him.
Take your time to heal. Congratulations on your baby.
⭐️ Great work so far! I love the portfolio idea. I think posting it in the room somewhere is perfect for student ownership. Hope u find the right spot!
I totally agree! Thank you for commenting!!🌟
Do you have a link to share the writing process poster you made?
drive.google.com/file/d/1vBzCFvQxUE4ogTM-n9jwPLLifDVcjrL1/view?usp=sharing I'm not sure how to make it editable, but here it is! When I cut mine out, I added a little white space to the back so I had room to hot glue the laminated pieces together. Thank you for your comment!
Since you teach ELD, it might be fun to do a board of cultures or heritages, like about the class. I'm thinking about how our ELD kids come from Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, pacific islands, Ukraine, Russia, China, etc. So a big map with profiles or something? Could be really fun.
Definitely do more timelapses ❤️
