I teach 12th grade, and my kids know that I LOVE the Joker, because the majority of them have jobs, when they find inexpensive (or on the rare occasions like christmas, last day of school, or my birthday expensive) Joker/Harley Quinn items they buy them for me. I moved my bookshelf to behind my desk, and display proudly my Joker/Harley Quinn collection from over the years! I have literally almost everything from Funko Pops to Legos to stuffed animals and Action figures. I put a piece of masking tape and have the kids sign their name and graduation year. I have to buy a second bookshelf this summer because I am running out of room.
The items in your desk cracked me up! I LOVE it!!! I'm sure the kiddos love your humor. I can see that you would make school so much fun! We need more teachers like you!
I keep a Harry Potter Dementor figurine from Funko Pop behind my desk. I tell the kids he'll suck their souls if they misbehave. I also have a Grumpy Cat calendar and a terrible drawing of a giraffe. What I really need is a hand on a stick!
+Don Bodacious the megaphone was $8 at Kohls! The only problem is you can't stop talking through it. I love yelling at kids in the hallway that aren't doing anything wrong. It's the best!
Love your videos - I'm super new to teaching but have already found great joy in presenting toilet passes to students written on the largest piece of scrap timber available in the wood shop. None of this paper note business!
Giant Hulk hands that make sounds like "you're making me angry..." or "Hulk smash" with a giant smash sound following. It is a really good attention-getting prop and way to turn potential negative situations around...kids laugh each and every time & things lighten up;) I'm definitely going to have to "borrow" some of your tricks! The fake money is great...and keeping an "eye" on them too...
So glad to watch what you're doing. I saw you on Gary Vee. I have many teachers in my family that I'll be passing on to you. I'm proud of you,and excited to support you brother! From a fellow hustler and Vaynermaniac
+Brent Sellow that means a lot to me. Teachers looking out and supporting each other is key to survival. It was exciting to be on the show and I appreciate you coming to check out what I'm doing and passing it along to the teachers in your family!
I think I need to ditch some of my office supplies and head to party city now! I definitely need to up my classroom fun factor. My 1st graders would love some random surprises. What grade do you teach?
It's so interesting watching all these different types of teachers and how much their teaching varies not only from grade to grade but just overall what works for them. I had a teacher like you in high school super fun guy named Mr. Adkins he was a school fav and you seem like a fun teacher as well (:
How nerdy am I that I was totally engrossed in the pen. You may as well have been showing me a magic trick or something. I mean, I know I'm an office supply nerd but dang! Also, I love multipurpose tools! I have a Gerber. And my boxing nun puppet might want to punch Ronald McDonald in the face but I'll talk her out it!
I have a huge stash of food. Teenagers love food. Great for bribes. "If you get this done before the bell, you may pick from the draw of deliciousness. If not, I'll be calling home this afternoon".
Real Rap With The Reynolds when I need the whole class to pay attention if they are distracted, the cowbell can bring them back. The Nerf gun is useful for a class review game with a game I play using a target on my Smartboard and (on special ocasions) a Dora the Explorer doll.
I have a little pig that when you push it’s belly it plays music and then farts when it’s done. My kids get to “press the pig” when they complete their assignment. They love it and it cracks up the whole class :) it’s actually from a game called “The Stinky Pig” on Amazon for $5.
I teach physical science, so toys are part of the curriculum, or at least they are in my room!!! I have a standard quote, “ what self-respecting to a science teacher doesn’t have a_____!” Could be a remote control truck, a Nerf gun, set of bouncy balls to knock out ceiling tiles, a bowling ball-just to roll across the room while pretending it’s alive., or even innocent snap pop fireworks. We have to be able to “turn kids on“ to learning. I often tell colleagues in professional development that 80% of what we do is entertainment and distraction, and the other 10% is content“ I often say is well that if you can’t act, you’ll probably have a hard time in the classroom.
I'm very late to this video but I have a little thing that looks like a horn and shouts "NO" in different ways. Always a good response to students when they are asking weird questions. Or when I just feel like stirring them up. I also have a "PANIC" button. It screams "PANIC" in all sorts of ways and either I press it or the kids press it when they think I am getting stressed out. I believe that laughter can break down so many barriers and it certainly helps develop relationships. When a kid can laugh with you, they can also talk with you - well, that's what I have found anyway. Love all of your videos.
Who would have thought I would get the piece of advice that I needed by looking up teacher bag videos? I am currently in a customer service job that I do not like, while I finish college. It is so hard to get through each day, but the advice to try to brighten up their day.. that will be happening today! Thank you! Have a lovely day!
+Amy thanks for the wonderful comment. I used to work customer service at Home Depot when I was in college and I decided one day that it was going to be a fun job. I started wearing all the different glasses from the lost and found and making announcements over the PA in different accents. I also decided that I would be the best Home Depot employee ever. I would help every customer and be super nice to people. It was great. Let me know if I can help with anything. Enjoy your day!!
I love these too. I have switched to a back to a back pack as well. It is the best way to go, in my opinion. Im totally digging those pens. I would also say the desk is where all my goodies are, but hey, where is your homemade planner?
Only for the right kid at the right time, I keep a nerf dart gun. Get an old one so the springs are worn out. Body shots are good to break the tension, sone target practice on the white board, or just a fun threat for a tardy kid...
The real marvel here is that this video didn't take two hours to go through your desk. I think mine has items from the Eisenhower administration in it. Thing's like an archeological dig...
No worries, I wasn’t trying to diminish the fact that you don’t have a desk or a chair, I’m sorry you don’t have a he basic tools you need! As teachers we simply all have struggles due to our broken education system, it’s just how we decide to deal with them is the key 🔑
nice video. thank you very much. I am from India. Now I am searching a teacher job in USA. Please give suggestion to get into it. since it is a new environment i am very much confused

Ha! I definitely need to add some fun stuff to my desk. It only takes something simple to change up the day. Thanks for all the ideas!
+Heather Bingham Glad you got some ideas 💡 Have have tons if you ever need anything please reach out!
You are the most awesome teacher I have ever seen! Wow! You're definitely living your calling. 👏 👏
The items in your desk cracked me up! I LOVE it!!! I'm sure the kiddos love your humor. I can see that you would make school so much fun! We need more teachers like you!
The funny things is that I'm trying to make it fun not only for the kids, but for myself as well! thanks for checking out my channel Diva!
Very highly interested in this profession after I leave the military! Learning a lot from your channel!
I wonder how many minutes in a teacher's career we spend waving our arms to turn the lights back on. 😂
I keep a Harry Potter Dementor figurine from Funko Pop behind my desk. I tell the kids he'll suck their souls if they misbehave. I also have a Grumpy Cat calendar and a terrible drawing of a giraffe. What I really need is a hand on a stick!
Bridget Derbyshire haha love it! Kids always love all the ridiculous stuff we have! Haha hand on the sticks might becoming available soon!
So, as a non-teacher, I have been binge watching your videos. You're doing amazing things. Keep it up!
Thanks Jennifer. That really means a lot. Really.
You are HILARIOUS !!! I just spit my beverage all over the screen when you unpacked the megaphone... such a good idea for class.
+Don Bodacious the megaphone was $8 at Kohls! The only problem is you can't stop talking through it. I love yelling at kids in the hallway that aren't doing anything wrong. It's the best!
I actually had one for my large classes. It irritated the students so much that they banned together and crushed it, then put it in my desk.
Love your videos - I'm super new to teaching but have already found great joy in presenting toilet passes to students written on the largest piece of scrap timber available in the wood shop. None of this paper note business!
It’s pre-paper! 😂😂 Brilliant!

Lol he seems like an awesome teacher
+Cortney Clare Thank you!
Cant't believe it! Your desk is awesome! Maybe the most incredible items I've ever seen! =D
Straight up like this guy

+Call Me {Crafty} Al Hahaha my wife kept seeing all the what's in my teacher bag videos and suggested it to me! Glad you liked it! 👍🏽😀
Tell me why I've only watched about 5 of your videos and I now wish you were me teacher 🤦🏼♀️
Because I'm awesome!😂😀😂 JK. I wish I was your teacher too! Thanks for the compliment!
Salted Caramel i can relate
I hope your my teacher😘😘🏃
Ikr!!
I think I need to ditch some of my office supplies and head to party city now! I definitely need to up my classroom fun factor. My 1st graders would love some random surprises. What grade do you teach?
I teach 9th grade 😊 Five Below is good source for weird and wacky stuff! I also use the dollar store! Hope you have a fun year!!
I just realized that he totally reminds me of Ian Hecox
😂🤣😂 thanks!
It's so interesting watching all these different types of teachers and how much their teaching varies not only from grade to grade but just overall what works for them.

LOVE the baby hands and the old peoples' glasses! You're my new hero!
Thanks!😊

Cowbell in my desk, Nerfgun in my closet
A Nerf gun?! That's a great idea! What do you use the cowbell for? On the other hand why wouldn't you have a cowbell in your desk?
Real Rap With The Reynolds when I need the whole class to pay attention if they are distracted, the cowbell can bring them back. The Nerf gun is useful for a class review game with a game I play using a target on my Smartboard and (on special ocasions) a Dora the Explorer doll.

LOVE IT Will! It’s so true. Teaching is totally acting, it’s a show!
My professor told us he used to have a punch bag at his classroom so that if there is any kid having anger moments can go and punch punch 🥊 😅
God this video is hilarious!!! 😂😂 Always wish I had a teacher like you 😂
Also, can't wait to be a teacher and hope to be as cool as you!
Thanks Taylor! If I can ever do anything to help you on your journey just let me know and I'll do my best!
Thank you!
Yes! I love this so much!
+EverydayDazzle thanks!
You always make me laugh!! ❤️ and hugs from Missouri.
+GlitterandJams lol 😂 love it. Best compliment ever, I love to make people laugh! 🙌🏽 Missouri!!
Loved it!

Real Rapnh The Reynolds
Oh my gosh! This was too funny! Love your videos!
+Luci S thanks!! 😁
dat tie is the bomb
Cool bag. What's the brand/name? Thanks.
Oh my lord, when the tiny hands came out I lost it 😂😂😂 Teacher goals
I don't have a desk.. :( I don't even have my own classroom. Keep running all over the place every 50 minutes to get to my next classroom to teach..
Same here😢😢😢😢😢
@@imenamouna7171 They gave me a cart. Yuck.
I always have craft supplies. People always forget they can ask me for anything. I am basically an emergency Michael's craft store.
I love these too. I have switched to a back to a back pack as well. It is the best way to go, in my opinion. Im totally digging those pens. I would also say the desk is where all my goodies are, but hey, where is your homemade planner?
+Kate The Sleepy Teacher haha. It's in production.
Real Rap With The Reynolds ahhaha
I have a minion fart gun. Oh, the fun I have had with it.
Yes! I’ve seen those. Good work!
coulda been real, jsyn
This is the best! You are hilarious. I need that apologie slip. Lol
Oh my god, YOU remind me of my 9th grade English teacher!! Yup, good memories with Chad Cavendar
Thanks Andrew! Glad you had someone great to look back on.
love the apology notes :D
+The resa I use them all the time and they've only ever helped my situation. They catch people off guard! If you email me I'll send them to you!
Will totally do that, thank you!!
Great video!
Thank you! Happy new year!
where's your shirt from!
Lol you are so funny! I bet students enjoy you as a teacher
Only for the right kid at the right time, I keep a nerf dart gun. Get an old one so the springs are worn out. Body shots are good to break the tension, sone target practice on the white board, or just a fun threat for a tardy kid...
Great idea 💡
I totally need those formal apology notes. !!!
+Kate The Sleepy Teacher they get laughs every time!
Real Rap With The Reynolds did you make them or buy them ?
+Kate The Sleepy Teacher I found them online. They were free so I just printed a bunch off at school.
Real Rap With The Reynolds I just forgot attendance on Friday :/. I'll need to print these out :)
Lol, my desk is not nearly as fun as yours !
You have Really amazing stff in your drawers of the desk. Great work. I am Suheyp, happy to know you?
HAHA! Thanks! My wife is happy that it's all at school these days and not all over my house!
: )) Haha You cool man. Would be great to meet you. Go on with your great work. I may ask a favour one day if you accept.
Yo Reynolds! Lights shutting off when they want to. #struggleshare #middleschoolproblems
😂😂😂 Dude! It happens all the time 😂
Love your advice man, definitely using some of your ideas in class with some hooligans. Thanks for fun creative content! subscribed no doubt.
How do you pull off gags like this with out the class totally losing control. I feel like every time I tell a joke or something everyone loses it
I lost it at "tiny hands" lol
Hi. I carry a handbag, laptop bag, LCD bag, books bag and lunch bag. So, I carry 5 bags to school every day. #asianteacher
The real marvel here is that this video didn't take two hours to go through your desk. I think mine has items from the Eisenhower administration in it. Thing's like an archeological dig...
😂😂😂
I dont have a desk :) some times not even a chair
I had a tiny room once with no room for a desk. So I built my desk in a closet. It was awesome.
@@CJReynolds thank you for your reply and the positiveness, i didn't mean to complain sorry :)
No worries, I wasn’t trying to diminish the fact that you don’t have a desk or a chair, I’m sorry you don’t have a he basic tools you need! As teachers we simply all have struggles due to our broken education system, it’s just how we decide to deal with them is the key 🔑
Remember your first year at BL? That was six years ago man. Feel old yet?
+Shawn Alexander I was the oldest teacher in the building that year. I'm still the second oldest. So maybe.
nice video. thank you very much. I am from India. Now I am searching a teacher job in USA. Please give suggestion to get into it. since it is a new environment i am very much confused
Thanks again!
Your desk is a giant Toybox.......
Pretty much😂😂
teacher EDC load out
+matthew feldman what is that?
there are a guys that make Every Day Carry videos. usually what they have with them...prepper kinda sruff
😂😂😂
Mine is extremely heavy 😋🥺
what happened to your grade book - or you don't use one of those?
keep the humor going
We use an online grade book and are not required to keep a physical copy. 😅
hi Brody it's jake
+Charlet Smith hey Jake!!
I could barely hear you over the music
