I love hearing about flexible seating in a high school classroom! I wish more high school teachers would embrace this!!! I look forward to seeing the finished room. 😍
I've spent the past two years as an itinerant teacher in elementary schools, and from what I experience flexible seating is amazing for kids! I hope that if more and more of us talk about it, other teachers will join the train!
I completely agree. Last grade, in 9th, we suggested flexible seating often, but most said no bc they said we need a slightly uncomfortable chair to stay awake. But it’s hard to focus when all you can think about is getting comfy
I love how much you love your job and how much care you’re putting into a high school classroom. I feel like most high school teachers don’t feel the need to make their classrooms cozy and inviting❤️
I really love how real you are. You’re very positive but never pretty everything always works out perfectly. I’ve watched most of your vlogs over the past year, with the transition to online teaching in the wake of coronavirus and you transitioned with aplomb. Thank you for who you are.
Ah! I'm so sorry it took me so long to get back to these comments! Summer with my little ones has been amazing but not quite as productive as I'd thought... I feel like we are on our way to becoming real life friends. ;) And I can't wait to hear all about your first week on IG stories!!
I am so happy to finally find somebody setting up a classroom for older students. I am teaching 8th grade, middle school and soooo struggeling with nice ideas. For primary school it´s all so colorful and playful. Great. But my students would freak out with the rainbow-design. I just thought about doing an own video to show you, what I might take out of your ideas. :-D
I am so happy that I found your channel. I will be student teaching Social Studies in High School this coming school year. Love that I found a high school teacher vlog!
I love your personality ! The kids are if don’t already gonna love you! It’s hard to find high school teachers who are so positive like you!!!!! Never loose that!!!! Woothoo!! I want to see your calendar because I have a reusable one but idk if it’s so functional Hahhahah well maybe? I am hoping hehe New subscriber!!! Wothoooo
You are seriously amazing! Thank you for your videos. I'm about to start my first year of teaching (9th grade English) and your videos are GOLD! (And you're hilarious so that helps).
im in high school right now and I want to be a junior high or high school history teacher and I honestly can't wait til I get to do this because it just looks fun
you seem like such a fun teacher! I’m going to be a junior in high school by the end of august and I really want to be a high school math teacher! I wanna be a fun teacher like you and i can’t wait to make students happy and excited
Thank you so much - that is very sweet! I know how you feel - I think that since elementary teachers kind of dominate on TPT and social media (at least it seems so) I felt like I was going to be a loner as a high school teacher... Glad I'm not! :)
Love your video!!!! as a new High school teacher its really nice to see other High School teachers ideas. I'm going to be a Forensic/Law Enforcement Teacher -Brand New Class at the School (I'm a Crime Scene investigator who was in Law enforcement for 12 years and decided I'd rather teach others what I love). If you have any advice, feedback or tips for a new high school teacher I'd love to hear them. Thank You!! -
Oh my gosh, why didn't I think of that?! I guess since the paper was already in my craft closet I'll just see how it holds up and laminate next year when I have to buy more :)
You should get some light dimming sheets (pretty sure that's not what they're called lol). They sell them on amazon and they're made specifically for those "industrial" classroom lights.
I can't believe I didn't know about these filters until now - and so many kind people are telling me about them! I wish I had knows years ago!! Thank you!!!
How about switching the chairs to the opposite side so students aren’t facing the wall? This way they can look out at the rest of the room and see the board, etc.
Your kids have chromebooks why dont u make a class accessible google calendar instead of taking up space on the walls? Ok am prejudging and this could work, am not a fan of overly busy walls. Love the couch.
The Caffeinated Classroom omg this shows my age I guess but when I was in school we would get in trouble if our phones were anywhere but in our lockers. I love that educators are actually understanding now about things like that.
I wish more teachers had more enthusiasm like you do I wish I had you as a high school teacher like you 😭❤️
this is really intresting seeing a teahers work and pov when ive always just been a sudent

Thank you for decorating a secondary room! Big kids like a special place to go too!!
My high school classrooms never had a couch in them.. love it!
Shout out to you for being a teacher and teaching our kids! Teachers dont get much appreciation.
Imagine just finding your teacher setting up your classroom on TH-cam 😂
That's what I keep thinking about... so funny!
Love this! I’m a first year sophomore English teacher, and I’m barely about to start decorating my classroom!
I love how much you love your job and how much care you’re putting into a high school classroom. I feel like most high school teachers don’t feel the need to make their classrooms cozy and inviting❤️
LOL I LITERALLY just heard that intro music for another teacher. But I can't WAIT to do this for my class.
Nothing quite like the blank canvas of a classroom...even if it can sometimes feel overwhelming.
I really love how real you are. You’re very positive but never pretty everything always works out perfectly. I’ve watched most of your vlogs over the past year, with the transition to online teaching in the wake of coronavirus and you transitioned with aplomb. Thank you for who you are.
I have never related to another persons personality so much. I loved watching this!
Love watching your videos! I feel like we would be best friends in real life 😂 I also struggle with gallery walls not looking messy haha!
Mrs. Call's Campers I love your vids I can’t wait for you to be a teacher
You guys would be awesome friends!

The Caffeinated Classroom I am excited to see your friendship grow!!!! School starts in 5 days for me and I’m going to be a freshman in high school

College student in 2020 (future high school English teacher!) and I have that same exact dinner table 🤣 loving your videos!
I am so happy that I found your channel. I will be student teaching Social Studies in High School this coming school year. Love that I found a high school teacher vlog!
I appreciate the way you show us from the very beginning in your garage and the day you got your keys.
I loved seeing how excited you were. You have some great ideas for sure.
“The Ship of Education” lolololol love it 💕
Kafoople Land 😂😂😂
I love your personality so much. Your students are going to be so lucky to have you!
Eek now I’m delighted because your vlogs will be that much more relevant this coming year. I’ll be teaching 9th grade ELA in 2018-2019.
Yay! I hope we can share ideas!!
Thank you!
This is my first video of yours and I love you! Caffeinated is the perfect definition😂😂 Love your personality!
You’re energy is amazing! I bet you are a fantastic teacher, I wish there were more like you when I went to school!
it’s my first year in high school and i hope i have a teacher like you, good luck
I might steal your idea of dropping down a traditional table. If it goes low enough, maybe I can add cushion seats.
I really like it! I think I could even lower it a touch more, but then it might be too small for kiddos to use it comfortably from the couch...
One of our 5th grade teachers did that last year-dropped the table as low as it went. Kids sat on cushions. I’m going to try it this year.
I love your personality ! The kids are if don’t already gonna love you! It’s hard to find high school teachers who are so positive like you!!!!! Never loose that!!!! Woothoo!!

What state are u in? That’s cool class for kids
You remind me of my favorite English teacher, she did the exact same thing you’re doing
I have never seen a more appropriate TH-cam name in my life.
I love your energy!
There are fluorescent light covers that are fired resistant and are really good for migraine suffers like me. You can get them on Amazon.
Thank you!! I was thinking of the cream ones - have you tried the blue or the cream?
The blue, makes the room have a calm feeling.
For your light put tissue paper over them to make the lights dimmer
Ahhh this makes me want to become a teacher even more. :) that's a good thing, i think haha
THOSE HUGE PAPER CLIPS!! I need details!
Bookshelf, advanced vocabulary, I'm dying! Hahaha
You remind me of my (old) math teacher. She was super nice
i love that theres a safe space with lgbtq pins like trans and gay
There are great ideas in this video I can’t wait to see them come to fruition.
Thank you so much! I've been hard at work putting these projects together - more videos coming soon!!
Do you plan to laminate the paper for your checkerboard display? I think you should because it will last longer.
Oh my gosh, why didn't I think of that?! I guess since the paper was already in my craft closet I'll just see how it holds up and laminate next year when I have to buy more :)
i just graduated from the school you are in.
Cannot figure out how you did the back wall to your desk area! Dying to know 😍
You should get some light dimming sheets (pretty sure that's not what they're called lol). They sell them on amazon and they're made specifically for those "industrial" classroom lights.

How about switching the chairs to the opposite side so students aren’t facing the wall? This way they can look out at the rest of the room and see the board, etc.
Where did you get your fabric for the cork boards?
You’re so pretty. I love the classroom setup ❤️
Your kids have chromebooks why dont u make a class accessible google calendar instead of taking up space on the walls? Ok am prejudging and this could work, am not a fan of overly busy walls. Love the couch.
leave space between the wall and the table for the cord to come up
Omg you make want to paint my nails blue instead of the pink I was wanting to
an you make a video on how you engage with the student's families ?
oh my goodness, the first 5 minutes is me haha
You guys have windows?!
At my school the classrooms either don’t have windows or they are painted black...
This is litterallythe high school that's next to my middle school lmaooooo
Amazon wish list and lakeshore extra supplies
Does JoJo know she's a verb? 'Tis the season for all the teacher tubers to Joanna Gaines their plans for their classrooms lol
I missed it what grade and what are you teaching?
Katrina Neargarder Next year I’ll have all 10th grade English 😉
Sounds like fun :) have a great year!
June 23 was on that day 😂🎊🍾🎉
Use Stikki Clips from amazon for your board
7:59 U must not be very tired because you look beautiful!
I go to a “prep” school and non of my teachers are as cool as you. Like you would think with all the money they would want to be nice
Please can someone tell me what ELA means
Brooklyn Wiegerink English Language Arts. It's basically a literature class
a charging station?
MitchieNichole
For computers most likely
Yup! Tablets, computers, and phones...
The Caffeinated Classroom omg this shows my age I guess but when I was in school we would get in trouble if our phones were anywhere but in our lockers. I love that educators are actually understanding now about things like that.
I'm 27, can you be my teacher?
You let them charge there phones!
