- Best Year Ever Episode #1
This is going to be the best teacher year I have ever had and this is the first episode.
Here is how I'm planning to make the most out of my classroom this year. I try to make my classroom a place that makes the students feel comfortable and inspires them to make something out of nothing every day.

you seem like such a good man. coming from a high school student, i love that you genuinely care about your class. there are so many bad teachers who aren't concerned about their kids' educations or have lost their desire to make things fun and nice. the good ones definitely cut through the bad ones and give me hope.
Thanks for such a great comment! I agree with you HS teachers need to remember the students are still kids that like to have fun & laugh, and it makes the learning much more appealing!
I definitely will subscribe to this! Gosh! This has been the first ever male teacher I saw on TH-cam doing classroom makeover and I love that I learned a lot of ideas and get a lot of inspiration for my 8th grade classroom. Thumbs up, Sir! 🥰
Get it Teach! Our classrooms are a chance to say “I care” out loud. ✌🏽
Love that..."Do not let perfect be the enemy of good.". Perfectionist , former teacher, now homeschool mom here. Love seeing what amazing things you guys are doing out there! Our entire family is reading a book called "Present over Perfect" right now. It's a great read for all of us perfectionists! Thanks for what you do in and out of the classroom!
Thank you! I"ll have to check out that book!
Here in Australia we're almost 3/4 of the way through our school year so I love seeing teachers beginning their school year. Its very motivational to see that positive energy and soak up a little of it ❤️
Yeah I bet! hang in there!
Seriously loving your room Reynolds, teacher envy. Wanted to update you on something, I really wanted to use your 'write a letter to yourself' idea and adapted for my students. I designed it so I could check out where they were at and my days, I was blown away. I found out some useful information that will hopefully help me reach my students on a deeper level. You're reaching different people/ninjas across the globe Reynolds, thanks! (As well as the teacher who inspired you to do it! What a beautiful cycle! 😊)
Totally lol when the painting dude popped up. I used to watch him as a kid. Teachers are resourceful. I can just imagine those two trekking down the street with the table and bar stool.
Right?! teachers need to be resourceful when most schools are generally so short on resources! HAHA Bob Ross is on Netflix and my daughter used to watch before bed because he's so soothing!
I'm such a perfectionist, so it's so nice to hear that everything doesn't have to be perfect on day one. Thanks for that reminder.
That huge organizer is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Oh. My. God.
You have the same shelves I built for my two year old! Your reasoning is exactly why I built them like that! I wanted him to see the covers, I wanted them to look appealing for both him and I. So we want to walk up and grab one!!! I also put them at his level, you can’t believe how often he wakes up early and I hear him flipping pages and describing what he sees or repeating lines he’s memorized. LOVE that you recognize the appeal of making things look good.
It's always better to ask for forgiveness afterwards then ask and get the answer NO. Go for it! I love what you did!
I love the eclectic look of your classroom. Awesome job! 👍🏻
How do you not have a million subscribers?!?! You are awesome!! I’ve been a high school teacher for 10 years now, in Idaho, and I love your videos!
Wow! Thanks Heather 😊 That’s very humbling. ❤️
Your classroom looks great! Love the giant organizer with your thrifted treasures and the standing desk. What a great space to read, write, and talk about books and ideas. Your students are so fortunate!
Lol being an art teacher I love that the kids gave you their ceramic projects and you are displaying them, that is awesome!
Just wanted to let you know that a quote you mentioned on this video has helped me SOOOO much in life! “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. I’m a perfectionist & I repeat it to myself in my head at least 10 times a week (not exaggerating) so this is long overdue but thank you for saying it!
I totally agree on your room being an ongoing process. I never feel like my room is finished and I'm okay with that. I also notice things that I spend tons of time on in the beginning of the year, end up coming down and being replaced with something else.
Love the room Mr. Reynolds! I feel the same way with my room. I want it to be a warm and safe place for my kiddos. I also want it to be a place that I WANT to be, especially as a first year teacher. I'm spending a lot of time in there. Can't wait to see the finished project. Love the dancing! 😂
Great find Ms. Cho and Ms. Yonkers!
yeah its so true we're in our rooms for a lot of hrs 😆 if we don't want to be in there how can we expect the kids to want to be in there!! Hope your first year is going great!! 😂 the not so secret wife couldn't believe I kept the dancing part in!!
You are too funny. And your classroom looks like artwork. No doubt it will inspire and welcome students.
+Teaching with Joy thanks you! It is a joy to walk into every day. 😊😊
The best HS classroom ever omg
I was wondering whether you might do a collab with a primary school teacher to talk about the differences of teaching primary and high school. That would be super interesting! Or maybe just you giving some tips for us future High School teachers
ALSO I'M SPYING THE REST OF US JUST LIVE HERE :D such a cool book!
Great idea I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
"Am I allowed to do this? No idea, but it looks nice so I'm gonna do it anyways" 😂 man I hope I'm allowed to get away with stuff like that when I have my own classroom
Awesome idea for the eclectic organizer! My husband was watching this video with me shaking his head because I always make him do the hard work. Lol
I know that feeling!😂
Don't remember the last time a teacher of mine decorated their classroom since middle school, it's really cool how you care about your class and students! Never seen a decorated high school class because most teachers don't care but it's really good that you care sm :)
I’m in my classroom more than my living room! I would go crazy if I had a boring room.
Ahhh "down the shore"! My grandma used to always say that. She would take us to the Jersey shore when we visited her in PA.
I love all little things I say that are relative to where my area that people point out that I don't even notice, so funny! 😂 It's always "down the shore"
Much better than "hella," which is what my people say ;) #bayarea
😂😂😂
Thebig metal thing with the drawers is an old library filing system. They held cards for the books. Dewey decimal system!!! So funny. Brings back memories from my moms middle school library. Love the floating shelves. Have a great year.
the big gigantic piece with all the little drawers is for nuts & bolts but i do have two metal drawers that are from a library (i think) it looks like something that would have had the dewy decimal system in!
Hey Mr. Reynolds! Really loving these videos. I have a question, though. You said that you had a co-teacher, and I've never heard of anything like that. I'm sure you've said it in a video somewhere but I thought I could just ask. Thanks so much! Keep up the good work! They keep me motivating in my senior year of high school!
You sir are amazing, thank you for your inspirational videos. I am thankful that I recently (last week) found you. I have been binge watching you and am loving your videos thank you for sharing these snippets of your class.
Eclectic Heaven! Love it! Way to pour your gift/creative genius in that space. Thanks for sharing. Great ideas!
Hi from the UK! So great to see videos about high school-age teaching and classrooms, thank you for sharing. I would love to hear about any poetry content you can recommend to engage teenagers as your book recommendations in other vids have been top notch. Thanks for all your wonderful content.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you use a word wall with older kids. I have hesitated to implement it in my middle school classroom because I felt like my ideas of how to use it were "too elementary." So I am excited for fresh ideas.
Also, love how you said you get caught up reconnecting with teachers and your room isn't ready. That is always me too! We've been back in school for two weeks now and I feel like my classroom is finally approaching "visitor ready." :)
I'll be sure to keep you updated when we get it up and running!
"don't let perfect be the enemy of good" well said
I have shelves like that too, right by my door! It draws so much attention from everyone who comes in my room!
You are such an encouragement to me as a new teacher! I started my new teaching job (teaching 9th graders) 2 weeks into school (August 21... Eclipse day) and have finally found time to put some things up to decorate.
I wanted to ask you two things, if you have time: 1. How do you balance school and family/friends/church? And 2. I have a teacher who wants me to do things as much like her as possible and an administrator with tons of ideas that says for me to try many things she suggests. I don't want to step on anyone's toes. How do you deal with the politics of school like this?
Cool-eclectic Classroom set-up Mr. Reynolds!!! Lov the beast, your class organizer.
"Hot diarrhea" Man! LMBO Great video, thanks for thinking outside the box as a teacher, not settling for norms, and making it your own.
great projects in this video! I like the way you talk about classroom spaces really making a difference
I'm glad I found another high school teacher
I’ve only recently discovered your channel, I’m late I know. That being said well done. I’m learning so much real life stuff from your videos, and as a student a year from my teaching degree, I appreciate the realness. Keep up the good work
Thanks a lot! I appreciate you taking a moment to say something so kind. Best of luck to you!
These ideas are fantastic! Re-create, innovate your learning space on a shoestring (w/a little elbow grease) is an inspiring idea--worth the effort.
I seriously would love some of these elements in my technical theatre classroom! Always loved your class and would love to add a Mr Nieves spin on it hehe best of luck to your upcoming year! Thanks for updating us
And yes! There is nothing out there creativity wise for high school that doesn't look like something out of elementary
Mounting those speakers is HUGE. Good audio is everything when it comes to using media in the classroom.
Agreed and I'm looking forward to seeing the difference it will make!
This is amazing! I wish I had a teacher like you in high school!
I would have loved a HS classroom like your. It is such a fun, cool place!
I didn't even step foot in a teacher store this year. My classroom decor is courtesy of Hobby Lobby, Amazon, and stuff I had around the house.
That's fantastic! try some flea markets! you'll be sure to find some treasures!!😂
I love your new display ledges for your books!!! Great work 👍🏼the beast is amazing! Love your work 🙌🏼
AWESOME!!! I absolutely love the new look you're giving your classroom!
ngl, videos like this made me (a highschool student who hates school) want to be a teacher lol
Hey there! It’s kind of like being able to be the teacher you always wanted when you were younger. I went to high school everyday because my friends were all there. ✌🏽
Omg I wish you where my high school teacher then maybe I wouldn't have fallen asleep soo much in my classes! All the classes I had, all the rooms were like empty! maybe 3 posters and a tv. That was it!! The classrooms where soo boring! One of my classmates got into it with the teacher cuz he wouldn't teach anything fun! I remember all our work was out of the textbooks maybe once in a while we would get to do a project! The only classes most of us like was sciences. the music classes was like all Disney music and just old music. Sports sucked because if you got 5th period pe or a sport and you would have to run close to a half a mile to get to the buildings that have classrooms. Most of us got detentions cuz we didn't make it to our class in 3 mins.
Love how your shelves turned out!
Love your classroom! I noticed Carine McCandless's Wild Truth. This summer I read Into the Wild and I have almost finished reading the Wild Truth. Both of those books are great!
Into the Wild changed my life!
Loved your set up! Awesome!
I spy The Hate You Give. That book is the bomb.
I can not agree more I pre ordered the book and went to her book signing! I also pre ordered her other book on the come up back in December when it didn't every come out till February! Let's just say I'm a big g fan of Angie Thomas writing style.
SUCH A COOL CLASS. WHAT SUBJECT DO U TEACH AT HIGH SCHOOL?
HAPYY TEACHING AND PEACE?
Miriam Fernandez Boraso Thanks! I teach 9th grade literature!
Best wishes this year.
Props for Devil in the Kitchen. One of my favourite reads. Another good one if you haven't already checked it out is Kitchen Confidential.
Thanks I'll check it out!
This has got me stoked to prep my new eighth grade classroom. Any tips since this video went up?
Hey Riley! I haven’t been in my room in a year and a half. 😂 I’ll have a new video up in august on this topic. I’m always changing things and trying to make spaces that are for the kids I’m currently teaching. Every year is different. Best of luck to you this year!
@@CJReynolds Epic. Also, does black paint really work as well as chalk-board paint?
Aaaaw you have the latest harry potter boooook! lucky! 😍😍😍
you look like such a cool teacher im jealous of your students
Thanks!
Something that may be useful, plywood in appropriate size mounted on hinge with latch and chain to fold down when needed for standing desk and folded up when space needed.
good idea, I'll keep that in mind!
I love your classroom! 😀 it looks cool!😎
Interested in seeing how your word wall comes together
When I taught 6th grade social studies, I would give the words to the art teacher and she would have my kids create word wall projects for my wall using different mediums. That way the kids had ownership over the word wall and it wasn't just "oh there's some words, meh"
That's a really great idea!! Thanks for the tip!
hi...just watch your video. i'm a teacher too. learning from your video
Yo Reynolds it Marc from school your is cool these year see you this week
💙💜💚your style!!!!
Less than 15 weeks of school left for us here, Down under. Wow you are allowed to nail things to your walls!!!! We get told off!!!!
Iroshi rose No longer allowed to paint either :( rules rules rules *sigh*
Iroshi rose Thats so disappointing ☹️ Schools should allow teachers to decorate however they choose. I totally believe it only has positive impacts on the learning environment!! #itsonlyeveraboutthekids
Life in Kafoople Land 😔
I agree. We couldn't even use blu tack on to the walls, but I persisted and there's things hanging everywhere now. But still no nails or shelves allowed. Love what you have done in your room, it's ace.
Awesome thankyou
down the shore?! hello Jersey!
Yep!
I am already a week back in. I have my next group this upcoming week, so I am going through deja vu with beginning of the year. Lol, it gives me a chance to make it perfect , jk #sorryfirstgroup #9yearsinthesameroom. I definitely made that my mission this year that if it wasn't ready I was going to be okay with it. I'm glad you reassured me in this video!
give me your classroom!!! its so dope. i
Is the huge organiser with all the cases on a window ledge?
Yes. I built it as a separate unit but it was made to fill in that space. It’s one of my favorite things in my room.
@@CJReynolds Looks great!
I saw your commet on pocketful of praimy
Ze ak Thanks for coming over to check it out! 😁
No promblem
I am in the 4th grade I wanna be a teacher when I grow up because all these teacher youtubers
Awesome and thanks from Pakistan 💚👍 support #Kashmir
You're students must think you are awesome!
Reallt thought you were an art teacher because of the way you set up your classroom
Wow I wish I could sit in a classroom like this. 90 rooms in my school and the only difference between each one is a couple of useless posters
Makes you wonder what those in charge are thinking. 🙃
I never thought about it before your channel. I just accepted it as school!
Dear Miss Younkers. You spelled your name incorrectly. Sincerely Miss Younger.
Your hair is cracking me so up!! Oh and I stopped over decorating years ago. Cant afford it.
usually one thing a yr because I agree it can get pricey! Flea markets and things like that work best for me.

Hey! I love all your videos! I plan on starting to teach next year. Do you have a Pinterest account? I’d love to pin lots of your classroom ideas!
