As someone who co taught last year if you have the room definitely recommend even just having two small desks so you both have your own personal space for planning and such. It’s nice to have one space that’s your own and not shared no matter how well you work together or get along! Congrats on K!
Having a team teacher sounds so dreamy. You get to bounce ideas off each other and have two sets of eyes for the kids. Can’t wait to see how it goes this year! The classroom is already looking so great, excited to see the finished product ❤
I just think the concept of every classroom having co teachers is genius! I wish every school was able to do this. Looking forward to following along your journey teacher kinder!
First year teaching Kindergarten for me this school year! I have taught preschool for many years but so excited for Kindergarten- great to see your content!
You should look into a sound wall instead of a word wall - our reading coach introduced it to us last year and it’s a great tool for primary students! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your setup series! 🙂
So happy to see you back in the classroom!! I can see that you missed it. It was so brave of you to notice that you needed a break and take it. That takes a lot of strength. Hope you have a great year!!!
Just wanted to share an idea block center and dramatic play (you said imaginary play) can’t be together at least here in NYC they need space to move and I would move the space up near the cubbies
Yay for K!! Neutral decor would be wonderful for your space. Above the cubbies you could put Secret Story posters or a nice quote 'Life is sweet in Kindergarten' with books and book buddies. Looks great so far. May I ask why you have a coteacher? Will you have a big class?❤
Are you doing a writing center area? How about moving cabinet to that area And can use side or front of cabinet and put pocket charts for monthly words etc
I have been co-teaching for 6 years now. You both need your own space. Use the reading tables as your personal desks. Trust me, you will want your own space. Plus, you can do 2 small groups at a time.
Great video! One organization idea that I found pretty clever/helpful for the littles (if there is room)- putting a small plastic pull out bin (with two to three little pull out drawers) at the end of each of the student tables. This helped so much with time management as their white boards, subject notebooks, subject books, laptops, etc... of your choice, can be placed inside for quick and easy access! Just an idea I thought I'd throw out there! Congratulations on the position 🎉
Nice to see you so happy setting up your classroom!! We have meetings on August 9-10. Students come on the 14th and Back to School is the 24th from 5-7pm! I teach 6th grade in Southern CA!!
What an interesting shaped classroom. I love all the little areas. It's looking good. I'm interested in learning more about your co-teaching situation. How does your school afford that? How many students do you have?
Hi Madison! I’m a kinder teacher and this is my 5th year teaching kindergarten. Before that I taught 2nd grade for 3years. Loved that grade too but I’m liking the kinders better. I love the decor part of classroom set up. I start in late august but already started setting my room up because I changed schools. Thanks for the video! 😊
I also did not expect that there would be a kindergarten teacher with all the qualified fields, applying her knowledge to her students. The classrooms are comfortable so that students feel at home for a long time listening to their teacher teach. I can't say anything but: good job, Madison.
Can you remove the doors from the tall cabinet and then use some nice baskets to organize it? It may be better closer to the teacher corner if it fits. Loved seeing you work alongside your co-teacher so much fun and can't wait for your next vlog!
Hey Madison! Great set-up video! You and your teammate did a great job with solidifying a flow to your classroom. An idea for the big storage unit - what of you try placing it where your manipulatives are, it may cover a little bit of the windows on the side but not completely because the wall comes up to the ceiling in that area. And if your facing the big storage unit, the manipulatives storage unit can be placed to the left of the tall unit. Also, the tall storage unit can be used as your teaching resources area, maybe your admin will allow you to take off the doors to provide easier access. Just an idea. I can't wait for your next set-up video. 😊
I go back Monday July 31st and the kids start on August 7th. I would put the big storage cabinet behind your teacher table. How do you have conferences before you even have the kids?
I have many years of pre-k and kindergarten experience and the biggest advice I got is to keep quiet centers with quiet centers and loud centers with loud, so the library should be near the blocks and kitchen and dramatic play.
Question: wouldn’t it hurt the students’ back/posture if they were sitting on the normal chairs hunched over the small floor desk? Despite that, it is exciting to follow all these classroom set up videos.
One thing to keep in mind is that anything you want the children to see/use daily that are on the walls, you want it at eye level, so probably not anything that they'll be using regularly on top of the cubby area :) I teach 3-6 year olds
I am teaching 6th grade English. It’s my first-year teaching. I’ve been in my classroom twice to set up so far. Beginning teacher training for my school system starts next week. I’m really excited and nervous at the same time! 😅
Whelp, I commented on your ig story this video wasn’t showing up in my feed, but here it is! Yay! Enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing the final product!
How exciting that you are in Kinder now! I also taught 2nd and will be teaching Kinder this year😊 Thank you for the video so helpful to watch and get tips.
For the storage cabinet i would put it by your guys' stuff in the teacher area because some kids like to go through the stuff my kids went into my stuff and stole candy from me :|. But i am so happy for you and that you get along with your co-teacher!!
hi, Madison I'm Brooke and I'm a junior in high school, I want to be an elementary school teacher! I've always wanted to be a teacher since I can remember, the idea of teaching the next generation of kids and showing them how fun learning can be is the reason why I want to teach. growing up I had a couple of teachers who made me hate going to school and I want to change the way kids think about school and how it should be all about having fun and safe environment! I am also from Missouri, I have a 3.7 gpa and got accepted into Lewis and Clark career center into the education program! I was wondering if you have any advice for me, something about the best college for teaching elementary or what activities I should be doing, etc. Thank you!
Could the storage closet go in the back in that space between the imaginary play and the cubbies? It might block a cubby or two by putting it flat on that wall but if you don’t need all of them it might keep it out of the way! You could even store recess things in there then. You might totally already have found a spot but just a thought :)
@@madisonleighmaryan great minds think alike 🥰 so excited to see the rest of these videos! I’m decorating my kinder classroom too- you’re giving me all the ideas!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay so so happy you're back!! I'm teaching TK for the first time this year so I am selfishly SO happy you're in K! 🥰 Love your attitude and excitement. Can't wait for your vlogs this year. ♥️
Do you have anymore storage other than the bookshelves and the cabinet? The room shape is odd, but y'all will make it work! Yes, I would move the cabinet from the large group area. Can't wait for more vlogs!
Oh my goodness Madison i was so excited when i saw that you uploaded your classroom setup!!! Its so weird to see you setting up for little kindergarteners but i am beyond excited for you!!
Wow you have so much time before school starts for meetings! Usually we just have one day paid to meet and set up. This year they took it away and we have one OPTIONAL day to set up lol. I assume everyone will be using that. 😂
In Saudi Arabia, in each kindergarten class there should be 2 full time teachers. These kids need full attention and with the amount of activities students do in class, it is better to have 2 teachers supervise them. In my daughter's class, the teachers are ao sweet and collborative and there roles never contrast. There is a main teacher and assistant teacher. Every day they switch the roles. Even during corona, one would teach online one day and the other teacher teaches the following day and so on. It's so nice. A kindergarten teacher can make wonders and make kids love school for the rest of their lives.
Hey Maddison, I am a new subscriber but I have used IXL before and it is awesome my teachers help me on it if I need it and I really helps me in middle school.
You are so lucky as you are teaching in such a well developed region.I am also a teacher but unfortunately my monthly salary is only 110USD per month ..Any teacher here who can give me any task like lesson planning, Assesment sheets making can contact.I shall do on lowest rates.

For sure! 👍🏽

It is incredible how I have been watching Madison’s vids from the beginning. Now I teach grade 4😃. Love her teacher videos!!

On the wall above the cubbies you could put student artwork or work for others to see.
I have been co-teaching for 6 years now. You both need your own space. Use the reading tables as your personal desks. Trust me, you will want your own space. Plus, you can do 2 small groups at a time.
That’s our plan!
How do you get along with the principal?
Great video!

I’m in 4 so I use IXL! Is so fun!❤
I am a 6-8 Special Education teacher. I am starting set up this week. We don’t actually start till August 22nd.

It would be fun to have different types of plants or “growing garden” type things on the window ledges.

Hey Madison, you really love your Job! Keep it up. For sure you will impart a good impact to your students.

My daughter Sofia would suggest a Disney theme this year because of the book that my son Gordon ordered for her

You can make a art wall
Could the storage closet go in the back in that space between the imaginary play and the cubbies? It might block a cubby or two by putting it flat on that wall but if you don’t need all of them it might keep it out of the way! You could even store recess things in there then.

That’s where we ended up putting it!

Love your outfit and flip flops.

I would make two teacher/small groups. Sharing will get old really fast
IXL is for prek too. My preschoolers loved ixl
I teach K in Ohio. ❤ Is this a public school or no?
Hello there neighbor! I’m teaching kindergarten for the first time on the “East” side of STL this year.
As a custodian I would recommend leaving a map
Oh my goodness Madison i was so excited when i saw that you uploaded your classroom setup!!! Its so weird to see you setting up for little kindergarteners but i am beyond excited for you!!
Do you still get paid as a full time teacher if you're co-teaching? Or do you just have double the number of students
Yep we are both full time :) and only 22 students!
Morning Madison happy Tuesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Wow you have so much time before school starts for meetings! Usually we just have one day paid to meet and set up. This year they took it away and we have one OPTIONAL day to set up lol. I assume everyone will be using that. 😂
Omg no way! We have a couple weeks of prep!
IXL is a game changer!!!
Are you doing other classroom video
Thats so cool, I live in St. Louis! I love your videos!
Are you and your team teacher alternating days or will you be teaching on the same days?
Both teaching full time every day!
@@madisonleighmaryan Wow, that's awesome!

I don’t know if I was subbed since then but I’ve been watching since you were a 1st year teacher!

You are so lucky as you are teaching in such a well developed region.I am also a teacher but unfortunately my monthly salary is only 110USD per month ..Any teacher here who can give me any task like lesson planning, Assesment sheets making can contact.I shall do on lowest rates.
