  • I vlog my last day decorating and setting up my classroom before school starts. My classroom is full of plants and I decorated it with greenery and simple/earthy accents. My classroom is as socially distanced as it can be and I'll share more in my next video about the safety precautions my school and I are taking to keep our students safe.

    I am going to offer you some(unsolicited) wisdom I leaned in my 5th year in the classroom. “No is a necessary magic. No draws a circle around you and says I have given enough”. If you are asked to manage your school’s social media and shoot videos when you already overwhelmed, protect your energy and say no. It feels impossible but if it’s that vital, someone else can step up once in a while. I often felt taken advantage of because I couldn’t say no. I ran family nights and other school events when I was drowning in my own work. No can be really wonderful.

    As a child the overly bright classrooms gave me headaches. I absolutely love your classroom. It’s pleasing to look at, and I could imagine getting a lot of quality work in! Great job

      Her aesthetic is #classroomGoals. Thats what I am trying to go for with my classroom set up videos. I also can not keep plants alive, but I am trying to this year.. not the year with covid. I am never in the classroom. Poor plants!

    No one will blame you for having low energy. We are all just doing the best we can. I love your focal point wall, the greenery looks great and I'm obsessed with the different size frames. I agree about the computer placement, I like looking up and being able to see the class. Your classroom looks great! All the best this school year, I'm looking forward to more vlogs.

    Love the simple calm vibes of your classroom! I feel like most classroom set ups out there veer towards crazy and over stimulating. Yours is a breath of fresh air!

    I understand being a teacher can be stressful and challenging especially during this hard time. A lot of teachers are underpaid, you might be one of them, having to find ways to make more money, that can be really stressful with all the work in your back. We appreciate everything you do for children and their families! Ps. Love love love that ur room has lots of greenery!!

    Where do you get your greenery? Since my freshman year of college I’ve purchased real plants and I have some that I will be using in my classroom (with student roles including watering the plants themselves). I would love to include some cute faux plants as well!🌱❤️

      Simple was one of my goals! Plus I couldn’t use a lot of the items I had hoped to because of minimizing student contact. Thank you 😊 so are you ❤️

  • @SocialStudies401
    @SocialStudies401 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm taking notes from your setup vids lol, I like the subtle incorporation of plants. I will have to get some for my room and post an updated room tour! You can see from my current room tour I am attempting the plant theme with plant wall decals and fake vines, but noting beats the real thing! Does anyone have advice on how to keep plants alive at school?

      @MsParkerSmith  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I listened to a podcast a while back and they talked about how having greenery in the classroom reduced stress and that students from classrooms with plants even had less sick days than students from classrooms that didn't have plants. So cool!! Glad to help :)

    Hi! So I’ve been on classroom set up side of TH-cam and I’m going into 8th grade. I think a good quote could be something inspirational to them. I know a lot of my friends are scared to go back and some of them are going back because online school wasn’t the best thing. You could look on Pinterest and look for quotes there! The only quote I can think about is super basic that all teachers use. Anyways, good luck!

    • @MsParkerSmith
      @MsParkerSmith  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for your advice!! Yes, I definitely want it to be positive and hopeful. So many hard decisions being made by everyone right now.

    I recently graduated from college with an elementary education major and middle school concentration. I also want to teach middle school math! I’m having a hard time moving forward in my life, so I am currently not teaching. I am not a morning person either. Watching your videos is really inspiring. How do you keep yourself motivated?
    Good luck with the first week of school! 🍀 I look forward to your updates 😊

    You remind me so much of my old 9th grade Medical Science Teacher, it’s not even funny. You look and act very similar to her lol. Your personality is so great and you seem so fun. I loved when I had great math teachers because it made it so much more fun and easier. I love your content and you’re doing a great job! And for a quote idea maybe “Theres a lot of change, but us being here for each other will never” or “It’s going to be okay, we are in this together” or one of my favorite quotes “difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations”.

    • @MsParkerSmith
