YES! I am so over some educators on social media saying, "Don't do this and do that!" if I am going to be in my classroom for 8 hours, it will be comfortable. And my students always love my classroom (sometimes so much I can't get them to leave 😊). And High School English classrooms are supposed to be AWESOME! ❤
I totally get all of this! (Fellow English/Drama/Music teacher in Ontario, Canada). I don't know if it helps but "Tom's Midnight Garden" popped into my head when you were talking about your reading nook. Also- I came back from Mat Leave and my desk had been turned on an angle to face the class- (like the 3rd line in a triangle if the corner walls are the other two lines)- it was a simple but awesome change! Have fun! I love your videos and totally get what your brain is thinking/feeling the whole time. Enjoy setting up and the rest of your summer!
First year high school biology teacher this year. I got to see my classroom after my interview. I can't wait to get in there and get a better look and get it all set up the way I want.
YES! I am like you, and love the saucy email!!!!! Next time bring old bedsheets and cover the mess so you can focus on one space at a time!!! Just an idea!!
Thank you for doing this series! I don't have a ton of space in "my" classroom (I often have to share with 2-3 other teachers) but I love taking inspiration from you setup.
So excited to see the progress! I feel like I started watching you just out of high school. I'm now in my junior year of college, and can't wait to have my own classroom!
You're so funny! I cracked up a lot watching your video. I'm teaching 5th this year after a wild year in 6th (elementary). I can't go in and set up my basically bare classroom until the floors are waxed (whenever that is). I'm excited to watch more of your videos! :)
It's so great to see these videos again, Marie!! You have really inspired me to set up my own classroom--which I hope will be very soon! Enjoy the summer :)
Feeling your stress - getting ready is a huge challenge. Using your compass rug in reading corner is a great idea. Perhaps "Adventure Awaits" for a theme or "Happy Camper" theme. How lucky your students are to have such an invested teacher!! Good luck and best wishes😊
At my school we have to take everything down at the end of the year and put everything back up in August. I am in your boat in about 2 weeks. My friends ask why I put so much stuff up but like you I really enjoy setting my classroom up.
Does the person who sent the saucy email about chairs and tables need Jesus or perhaps Erotic poems? Both those books seem like they would be poeticly appropriate.

Last year I changed my highschool classroom from bright colors to calming eucalyptus vibes and I absolutely LOVE it!
Nice to see you! You are one of the few HS teachers out there. We missed you!

I’m a traveling teacher so I’m living through your classroom setup! I love how much your students appreciate the space you’ve created for you & them!
You go girl, you got this !!

I hear you! I feel the same way about my classroom. It’s worth the time and effort to make it fun and functional for students and me! 😊

Fun. Nice to see ya.

good to see you again!

True that! My kids (9th) love my room, I say to them I can’t do boring. If I am expected to be in it say many hours, I want it to work for me.

Super fun! Inspiring me to start thinking about the school year again:)
Breath...you've got this! I can't wait to see what you do with your room.

I am so annoyed that TH-cam didn’t tell me you had uploaded! love your channel!
Tell me more about the saucy message!
I'm getting into my classroom the week of the 10th. I'm looking forward to finally organizing my closets.
Girl, where you been?😂 Glad you're back! ❤
I am sure you get this all the time, but Grey Anatomy's "Amelia Shepard" look alike, lol. Love seeing you and your setups!!! ❤️
I missed this ❤
I wonder who snuck those two books into your room.
Does the person who sent the saucy email about chairs and tables need Jesus or perhaps Erotic poems? Both those books seem like they would be poeticly appropriate.
You should put the erotic poems in Shakespeare's space; they would fit nicely 😊
Saucy email 😂
im pretty sure those erotic poems would make you want to follow jesus very fast lol
