Can you link your video on small group? I looked thru but didn't see it, thanks.

I know you mentioned that a team teacher gave you the rug near your desk, but is there anyway you could link or give a similar suggestion. I really want and need one to help my area more cozy. Thank you. Alicia from CT

Nice work! I also teach 2nd. Its the best grade! Did you make the drawer labels on your rolling cart? I love them!

Can I make a suggestion? Cut out the middle of the r and o in throw. :) Super cute style!

I am also teaching 2nd grade this year after teaching 5th grade last year. I'm on the opposite side of the building, but my classroom is mostly similar. Last year, I made a floor plan using Google Slides. First, I took pictures of the room. Next, I put the non-movable things on the slide. Then, I added the movable things. I have another slide for my closets and my bulletin boards. I also have a composition book every year where I keep a materials list, ideas to do or accomplish that year, bulletin boards, anchor charts, and curriculum maps. I'm old (This is my 29th year. I took 1 year off. If I hadn't moved to a different state a few years ago, I would be able to retire this June. 😥). I don't have the energy to move furniture around willy nilly like when I was younger. Self-preservation is the key. So, I have to start with a written plan. If the plan has to change, sobeit.

Your process of assessing the space, I call it "dwelling". I sit in the room in silence. I imagine the children being there and how they will move through the space. I make sure that each student's visibility( Can they see the board, anchor carts, etc.?) and accessibility( Can they get to supplies quickly and safely?) of the instructional tools are high, and their distractability( Are they by a window, door, or pencil sharpener?) is low.

Your room looks so good already!

It feels good to start setting up! ❤❤ we cant get back in until August 😢

Amazon wish list and lakeshore extra supplies for your new classroom and storage unit bins

Looking great! When do you have to report back?

Thanks for sharing!

I have always wanted to teach second!! :) I have laminated them and re-used them as well, and I had a great experience with it. I recommend it.

So happy you get to stay in second and in your current room! Regarding anchor charts, I started to laminate the ones I would make year to year. The anchor charts that I am not creating with the students though because those ones I will create with my new class year after year. The ones I laminate are like the ones that I made, for example, main idea, characters, setting etc. I created those anchor charts and have them laminated and when I introduce them, they stay up and we refer to them all the time. Looking forward to your classroom setup videos :)

Hello! Enjoying your videos this summer :) Curious as to what behavior communication you use for parents. Last year I used a daily calendar with which the kids colored at the end of the day depending on their color on the flip card chart (green, yellow…). Do you use something to communicate daily with parents concerning behavior or just communicate with them on an as needed basis?

I taught 5th grade for 9 years, and I laminated anchor charts. It was great. However, we kept switching curriculums and how certain skills should be taught. So, I ended up not using them after 3rd year or so.

I also teach 2nd grade and it’s honestly THEE best grade. Not too young and not too old😊

Hey Teacher ! TH-cam recommended me 1 of your videos and I really must say you post awesome stuff , love it and I want to see you on top .

Love your energy!

Heads up! I have those rulers, they’re terrible. The numbers will rub off after a few uses.

Congrats 🎉❤I have always wanted to teach 2nd! I’ve literally taught every grade except second 😂😂

Yay for you being in second grade again! 😊 I am moving grade levels and I am excited but just thinking about moving makes me exhausted already!

Do you have the worksheet for Balloons Over Broadway that you can share?

Do you file papers?

Loving your videos! Would love classroom setup/ tour and classroom management ideas video!

‘Transparent’ rulers😂

Do you have a TPT store? I looked, but didn't find one. I'd like the drawer labels

What are your markers you grade with?

You are so organized!

Can’t believe the countdown to summer is starting 😅😅 you just made me realize I need to start one! 🥳

You rock!

Could you please link an Amazon store front or links to your organiztion and classroom materials please? I love the pens you use to correct and the paper organizer and laptops you showed. Thank you. Alicia from CT

What kind of document camera do you use? I like how it folds up. Thanks

Where is the morning work from?

I love how clean and organized you keep your classroom. The morning work is a nice way to ease into the morning routine. 😊

Is your self assessment on your tpt? I loved your video😊

Thank about the reminder which I obtained for free on TpT

How long was the interview process before they offered you your job?

Great video! Love seeing your classroom set up! They are so much bigger than the classrooms over here in the UK! 🇬🇧

The chair is SO cute I feel like you could paint over your old last name !

Where did you get those pens/markers??? They look amazing!

Vegan teacher but way better

i love how some teachers make some videos in the school

Puzzles and the magna tiles are a favorite in my classroom. I was lucky enough to inherit many large floor puzzles and they love them! Thank you for sharing!

Ha ha I did this exact thing on Friday too!
