    Hahahaha I love seeing all of these percentages. Glad I’m not the only one - happy classroom setup season, pals!🖤

    • @egtupper
      @egtupper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I’m retired now after 35 years. You made me laugh with the percentage question. I think I spent 75% of every classroom set up day looking, staring, and wandering aimlessly. 😂

    • @andresrenderos
      @andresrenderos 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When is your first day of school?

    • @paigerainey8855
      @paigerainey8855 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      About 95% of my classroom setup is also just standing around and looking at things.

  • @LivingAsLisha
    @LivingAsLisha 3 ปีที่แล้ว +43

    I laughed SOOO HARD when you stood in the middle of your classroom and just turned and stared!! That is 3/4 of classroom setup for sure!

    • @maiyah6599
      @maiyah6599 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      DAMN ACCURATE!

    • @Bregotamer1
      @Bregotamer1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Me too! I’ve been teaching over 25 years and it’s the same EVERY year, lol. My percentage is probably like 80%…especially pre fully caffeinated. Lol
      One thing I do at the beginning is make a list on the board and add/sub as things come up.

  • @stephanieprice609
    @stephanieprice609 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I spend 90% of my time walking around my room saying "ok... I have to do xyz" then I panic and eat a snack lol

    • @mr.kylecohen
      @mr.kylecohen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yessssss. All. Of. The. Snacks.😂

  • @nicoleschoenwalder857
    @nicoleschoenwalder857 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard when you just stopped and looked around!! 🤣😂 I watch all of these setup videos and wonder why when I get to my room I seem to just spend so much time just looking around!!! 😂

  • @jessicarotteveel2086
    @jessicarotteveel2086 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can do furniture but stop and stare when doing the little things. Also love the socks I always take off my shoes when I’m working in the classroom.

    • @mr.kylecohen
      @mr.kylecohen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No time for shoes. Absolutely not.🤣

  • @yvettedelarosa99
    @yvettedelarosa99 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I spend 80% of the time just picturing my classroom. I am a teacher in NYC and we will be in the building the last week of August, but like you I already started to buy the things I'll need to set up properly. I do enjoy your videos and how realistic it truly is. People just don't understand how much time we take to plan and set up and how much money we spend from our own pockets to make a quality and effective environment for our students. Thank you Kyle!

  • @Mmchuber
    @Mmchuber 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a retired elementary school teacher. My family always said they never saw me the month of August because I was prepping for the new school year. I have enjoyed watching your posts....and enjoy knowing all that is the past! Good luck to all teachers this coming school year!.

  • @arwen0725
    @arwen0725 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    75% for sure! Most of it is procrastinating the tasks I really don’t want to do 😊

  • @deenahill7106
    @deenahill7106 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh my gosh!! You make me laugh (with you not at you)! I agree 75% just looking around staring out into the abyss!! 😂😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

  • @sarahmensinger6914
    @sarahmensinger6914 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Yes, 80%, especially at the beginning! I just don't want to do something, just to redo it.

    • @mariaclayton9892
      @mariaclayton9892 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm in the 80 percent range! Then I take pics and look and them at home. It's become a real problem!

  • @terrificintk
    @terrificintk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    At least 55%! Sitting on a table, looking around… 😳 I was laughing so hard at your contact paper fun!! TFS ☺️

  • @daniellehillman3106
    @daniellehillman3106 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you so much for all the inspiration! I was constantly pausing and taking notes :) And I 90% stand around thinking and 10% throwing things together!!

    • @mr.kylecohen
      @mr.kylecohen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I appreciate you watching. Glad I can be helpful!

  • @stacywilloughby5431
    @stacywilloughby5431 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Yep, 75% of thinking and staring around and around the room. You, my dear, are entertaining. That’s the bonus. Inspired by the contact paper and your knack for getting organized and getting it done.

  • @colleensedote1901
    @colleensedote1901 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    75% for sure, if not more. And, I am freaking out at this point, because we are not even allowed in our classrooms yet to begin setting up. We have summer school that runs through the end of this week. Hopefully I can get in the first week of August. I will have exactly one week before we have to officially start back, and that entire week will be professional Development.

  • @benalilee125
    @benalilee125 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    75%, I wait till the weekend before school starts. I'm a procrastinator, one day I know it will come crashing down on me. But for now, I can deal with the pressure 3 days before.

  • @ElementaryInTheMitten
    @ElementaryInTheMitten 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Okay, you are the absolute best. 🥺 Thank you for the shoutout, Kyle! Your space is looking great!! I also spend much of my setup time just staring and scheming 😂

  • @hanginwithhooper
    @hanginwithhooper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You had me laughing! 80%…the only difference, I usually sit in my teacher chair and twirl. 🤣

  • @SimplySarahMarie
    @SimplySarahMarie 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hahaha 🤣 OMGOODNESS when you stood there rotating around the room…I can relate completely!

  • @Qponclippingteacher
    @Qponclippingteacher 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    🤣🤣🤣 Yes! Approximately 80% is just staring, talking to yourself, and touching random things.

  • @johnlopez3996
    @johnlopez3996 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Consider yourself lucky that you can put materials on top of cabinets. In California, we have something called Williams Facilities Rules, and we are not allowed to store materials on top of cabinets. That expression that you had on your face as you looked around the room is a classic!

  • @bigflip88
    @bigflip88 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mr Cohen I love watching your videos especially when you do your classroom set up. Also you don't know how helpful you have been just by me watching your videos for my own classroom thank you for all that you do!!!!

  • @kileylandis3953
    @kileylandis3953 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    “It’s literally called contact paper”. Hilarious!!!

  • @shannonmoutrie2221
    @shannonmoutrie2221 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    About 50% looking around my room and 25% helping my friends with their rooms to avoid my own. Although in a brand new classroom it's probably closer to 75%. I'm hoping to lower that this year in my new school but we will see :)

  • @kimnienstedt8228
    @kimnienstedt8228 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Totally agree! I sit and stare trying to figure out where to begin! I teach 4th grade also! Have a great year!

  • @claudineamato1161
    @claudineamato1161 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At least 75% spent staring at my room, and I have been in the same room for several years. Most people don't realize teachers take apart the whole classroom and then need to put it back together every year.

  • @rachaelmccray1492
    @rachaelmccray1492 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You gave me the biggest smile! I literally spend about the same amount of time (75-80%) just looking around, planning in my ahead. You are awesome!

  • @egtupper
    @egtupper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just a heads up about your science curriculum boxes. Don’t discard them, or ask your administrator about it because when the district asks for inventories they’ll want the boxes. 😕

  • @AgenderAspie
    @AgenderAspie 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    FOSS! I loved teaching with that in ES! I did change them over to clear bins with tops and white open bins for larger items.

  • @reezahare
    @reezahare 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lol! Yes!! You are so funny and correct! About half of my setup time is spent looking around.

  • @bestest524
    @bestest524 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    OMG I am sooo glad we ALL do that stand and wonder what to do. I would say like 60% of my time is that! 😂

  • @jacobcopley1

  • @randihubbard4975
    @randihubbard4975 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    80%. Thinking and second guessing 😂

  • @buckeye460
    @buckeye460 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’d say I spend 75% of the time just looking at my room and wandering in circles. I dropped off a bunch of new things in my room but didn’t do any setting up. We can’t go in next week because summer school ended and the custodians need to work uninterrupted next week to get the parts of the school floors done that were in use for summer school. Oh, I’ve also sent a few Amazon orders to school so they will be there when I go in to work! I also love watching Kim and Shelly. I teach special education in Greenville, SC. I’m originally from Ohio. Go Bucks!

  • @blahblah1826
    @blahblah1826 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    15%. I leave most of my wall space for student work so setting up is pretty easy. My biggest thing is usually Word Wall (last year I created a word web which took up 6 x 18 space) and Our Tree of Books We've Read.

  • @sassytjw
    @sassytjw 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow I wish I had your wall space. My room is about half your size and I have 30 kids.Have a great year.

  • @FabbiRosario
    @FabbiRosario 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @freddymendez8487
    @freddymendez8487 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For me it's like 80% of the Time and also I have to confess that during the 4th or 5th week of the quarter, I change everything again hahahaha 😅

    • @kaitEBee
      @kaitEBee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SAME! We have parent-teacher conferences the end of September and I usually change my whole setup during my breaks.🤣

  • @jewelhurst7650
    @jewelhurst7650 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been working 2 weeks on my 8th grade class. Love the contact paper idea. I did the same on my desk, podium, and table; white shiplap.

  • @elyseinman8616
    @elyseinman8616 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Staring is AT LEAST half of my setup time!!!

  • @maricelasarmiento5904
    @maricelasarmiento5904 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh, I would say 85% of the time! The longer you teach the more you accumulate and have to figure out where to store everything! I'm trying to get rid of stuff that's for sure. Love your videos! You make me laugh! I'm not currently in the classroom because of the pandemic but you take me back to those wonderful prepping days! I love your class and the lighting is wonderful!

  • @victoriaLL345

  • @ballerina.2091.
    @ballerina.2091. 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm not a teacher, but when I'm cleaning my apartment it is about 80% of my time just sitting there looking at my apartment.

  • @bettyspaghetti4803
    @bettyspaghetti4803 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always do that day 1. I go in with a list and intend to stay all day but then I make a list, do one thing, and leave because I have frustrating anxiety that pops up in unexpected times that are kind of expected🤷‍♀️

  • @kaitEBee
    @kaitEBee 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    🤣 90% I literally stop by in the summer just to stare and dream/plan.

  • @deesmith6662

    I am not allowed back in my school, probably until mid-August. Teachers first required day back is August 25. I teach science and there are so many things! I want to take everything out of my cabinets and reorganize it this year. Wish me luck. 😅

  • @gaellegoutain1286
    @gaellegoutain1286 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Next week is my last week, so I will enjoy it until the last minute. We have to report back on the 2nd and students arrive on the 16th. I will probably set up the week before back to school.

  • @smilingfishstudios2259
    @smilingfishstudios2259 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    @RedEyesJared17 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I definitely do the looking around thing but couldn’t say a percentage. I can’t wait to start class room set up. Just got a new position and school this year so don’t even know what the room looks like yet. I am hoping to get to see it on Friday this week for the first time (for new hire week).

  • @AgenderAspie
    @AgenderAspie 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    While sitting at my computer, 50% of the time looking at IEPs and 50% looking at the room to see how I can make the behavior plans, accommodations, modifications, and goals work in the room... and with the other students' IEPs. After that, while I'm implementing my ideas, 75% standing around...

  • @PrettyInBlues
    @PrettyInBlues 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @gustavogomez8931
    @gustavogomez8931 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If it’s a new space, and I’m setting it up for the first time, the percentage of staring around is very high…70%, but it should lessen with time.

    I am transferring schools, from primary (9-12 y/o) to secondary (12-14 y/o). I can't get in my classroom, don't even know what room will be mine or which one I will teach my subject in (we have homerooms and instruction rooms). Sooooooo... Usually there's a lot of staring involved, but this year I'll just have to hurry while figuring shit out on the go!

    Hi Kyle,
    My classroom set is also 75% of my time looking around. I feel like I’m starting my first year teaching again. I moved to a new city and state Canyon Texas. I teaching special education in new school district. I have the pleasure sharing resource room with another teacher. I will be doing.co teaching and pull out services. I am just not sure of the percentage of either one and don’t know the curriculum. I have been in my room once and have one small bulletin board, one big bulletin board, a whiteboard and several cabinets to put materials in. Any suggestions for setting up a classroom like mine. Thanks and blessings.

    @xXDemkaBelikovXx 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quick question about your preps - I notice that you are doing three of the four cores, (Math, Science, and Social Studies) and your partner has Reading and Language Arts (I'm splitting it into two even though as a former ELA teacher I know even though it feels like two preps, it's all integrated). I'm a teacher in Texas, and I've almost always seen it split between two teachers as Math/Science and ELA/Social Studies, or with three teachers I've seen it split up Math, ELA, and Science/Social Studies (and if a campus/grade level is super blessed and has four teachers it's all departmentalized). I'm just wondering why it's split up like that between the two of you? Is it because of state testing? Is Science and Social studies on an A/B schedule where you switch between them everyday (MWF Science, TTh Social Studies)?
    I love your room set up btw!! And when you said, "It get's worse before it gets better," I felt that - cause that's where I'm at right now too lol
