Omg yes! When you said " where am I going to sit and hide from the children" I felt you 100% I can't get with those other type of teachers. My desk is my little happy spot
You’re hilarious and a super productive teacher to get a lot of your classroom setup done in one day! I’ve taught for 12 yrs now and one thing I’ve learned is to enjoy the ride don’t stress and worry about things you can’t control. 😉 Can’t wait to see more of your videos!
You might want to put the file cabinet next to your desk, especially if you use it often. I have folders for all my units and standards and I'm constantly grabbing things from my file cabinet when I work at my desk after school. Love the table next to your desk. I also have my desk area with a table next to it. It helps to keep things organized.
I've watched so many of the videos of teacher's setting up classrooms! Why is it we get halfway through summer and all we can think about is setting up for next school year? All the teacher's I've seen on UA-cam are so lucky that they're sure where their classrooms will be before school starts. As a SpEd teacher with a resource room, they never fully are sure where they are going to put me from year to year. I can't go in and set up early, because I've literally shown up during pre-planning thinking I'll be in one room only to find out they've decided to move me to a different room! So, I'm always scrambling and stressing during pre-planning. I've been in a different room every year for at least the last three years!
So excited to follow your journey! I also taught 4th before moving to 3rd and it’s definitely a plus knowing where students need to be for the next school year. The library yes!! I have changed it every year and I am in the process of changing it once again!lol I am so scared to get rid of the bins, so look forward to see how it works for you.
I would strongly recommend making things quickly cleanable the bins may be a good idea to pull books out as you will want to wipe down books. Also, perhaps get rid of the carpet since it is a surface you can't mop/clean easily. Buy a swifter with anti-bacterial pads if they don't clean regularly!
I remember my first year of teaching back in 1992 and had third graders. Going from fourth to third means that you know what specific skills that your students will need to learn to get to fourth grade. This upcoming academic year will be extremely flexible, so best of luck to you. If you read aloud any books, I recommend The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
John Lopez I always start the year out with that book. It took me three years before I wasn’t a sobbing mess while reading it. No spoilers! Best book ever!
Glad I'm not the only one who gets super excited about classroom supplies and set up. From one Cohen to another, good luck. Third grade teacher (who also moved from fourth grade 14 years ago!) in Massachusetts. Next fall is SURE to be wonky...getting ready for the flexible mindset. :)
I teach preschool. This was my first year in public school and I survived with a strike and a pandemic on the books. I have a very small classroom and I have a desk and I didn’t clean it up so I have papers that are 10years old so now that I know what to look forward to next school year. I will be cleaning all that.
1) LOOOOOVE your personality 2) You have a super BIG room 3) I LOVE your small group table (I want it, I’m jelly) 4) can’t wait to continue to watch you journey 5) I’m a teacher youtuber too!!!! Don’t be a stranger!!!
I have to have my teacher desk. As a tall man, it is the only place that is comfortable for me to do paperwork. I see a lot of my co-teachers getting rid of there desk, and they are bent over their small group table, doing paperwork. When they are older, they will understand the stress they are placing on their backs. It’s also interesting to see them bring in storage, to take the place of their desk, and it ends up taking almost the same amount of space. I wish I had a nice big classroom like yours. I’m jealous because you have a sink! In today’s world it should be mandatory that all classrooms have a sink!
I don’t organize my class library in any order....I place the books in shoebox type bins and students “shop” by looking/flipping through the covers. They know what they’re looking for...
Catching up on elementary/middle/high school teacher channels. After years of university lecturing, ESL adult teaching, and high school counseling, I will be teaching at the middle/high school level for the first time this coming year! I won’t know where my room is and stuff until right before though ☹️ Still excited though!
We found out we're going back in person on April 26th... I just became a 3rd grade teacher this year! Really cool to see another guy setting up... I really don't know where to begin. Haha
I like how you have everything set up. The only thing I would do is turn your small file cabinet around so that you can get into the drawers. You may need it as the year goes on. Just a thought. :)
I'm so jealous that you're able to set up! We are starting virtually here and I'm not sure if we will go in to set up our classrooms until everything opens back up. Also - don't get rid of your teacher desk! You need a space to work during planning, before and after school, teacher workdays, etc.
Enjoyed your video. Third grade is a great year to teach! It was my favorite out of K - 4. The first of the year will be quite a change from fourth graders because you have to think second grader coming in at first. Huge!!!! jump happens in third grade. You will love it. Your enthusiasm for what you are doing is awesome and I look forward to following you this year. PS - your library looks great, but do you really think they will get the books back in alphabetical order?? I'd have been happy if they would have put them back in the correct color-coded section. LOL
Its interesting to see how you set up. We are still in school and dont really know yet how next year will start out. The state wants to go back to a kind of normal which im looking forward to, i want my whole class back and the kids really want that too. Next schoolyear we are in fourth grade and since we are in our classroom since first grade not much change set up wise. Hopefully going back to a more normal seating... i envy you all those boards... i only have a normal blackboard which is only slightly magnetic...
People don't realize that we walk into a room with a pile or furniture and a pile of boxes with supplies and that we have to set it all up ourselves. You have to have a strong back or you have to con a strong friend into coming in and helping you.
We had to store all books. No sharing of materials of any kind including books. Everything will be digital. No carpet, no small group table either. No room since desks have to be 6 ft apart.
That all looks great but sad we can't have any of that due to covid. No books, no shared supplies, no toys, no shared comfort seating. Just desks and chairs. ☹️
When do your students go back to school? Are you just an overachiever setting up in June? Also, has your district already determined that you will be face to face?
Hi Kyle! Found you on Classroom Sunshine’s channel and love your stuff. I love meeting new teacher tubers, I’m one as well! Your classroom looks amazing can’t wait to follow your journey. New subbie!
Hi, Kyle! Funny I worked with 4th grade last year as a Teaching Fellow (I was a paraprofessional for middle school the year before) next year I will be moving into 3rd grade math and science and a teacher!
i’m not a teacher but have thought of becoming one .. a third grade teacher at that lol . found your video randomly & honestly enjoyed every minute of it . keep up the good work , wishing uu success on youtube & this upcoming school year! xoxo 💙
I am so glad I found ur channel u literally made my whole day!!! I love you classroom you are blessed bc most do not have what you do! I wished I could just go in and set up my room to get that off of my To-Do and brain & feel better but sadly I’m in Texas and with the increase in COVID-19 here as of today I guarantee we are going to be at home Flex next year
Great video! I'm a teacher too, in Korea! I did 3 grade last year. Though country is different, most of figure is similar. A lot of box..cleaning classroom before first day.. kk :) I'm glad to see your interesting video. Good luck with your new class!
I am so confused as to why you get to set up your classroom (for us so early). We literally ended school last week. I am jealous that you get to be in there. Looks good
Great video, I just have a suggestion not to alphabetize your books since your students will probably not put them back. I would definitely alphabetize if those are your read-aloud, teacher resource books. Let me know how well your kids do with the alphabetized organization method. Good luck next year! :)
"Where am I supposed to sit and like...hide from the children?" 😂 Same.
Jealous you're already setting up!!
SUPER lucky to be in the building this early!
This! Hahaha
Omg yes! When you said " where am I going to sit and hide from the children" I felt you 100% I can't get with those other type of teachers. My desk is my little happy spot

They actually had us cleaning up our classrooms like we won't be back in school for a long while (June15). I was sad😔 Miss my kiddos!
Miss them so much!
Yes! A male teacher video! I’m subscribing, oh yeah!!😁
Appreciate it!
I can't wait to get in a set up my first classroom! I love how you're still being intentional about setup even with so many questions about the fall!
Love seeing a man willing to teach in younger grades.
Our students need leaders who LOOK like them!
"I became a teacher for the money & the fame"... I have the same sign on my teacher desk, where I hide from the kids! :) LOL -subscribed!
You might want to put the file cabinet next to your desk, especially if you use it often. I have folders for all my units and standards and I'm constantly grabbing things from my file cabinet when I work at my desk after school. Love the table next to your desk.

Love the white board table! I used the same one for my small groups when I taught 2nd grade. It was SUPER helpful! Glad I found your channel!
Love that smile. Love your positive attitude! I am sure your student definitely loooooveeeeeeeee you!!!
I love to hear your positivity with the unknowns!
So excited to follow your journey! I also taught 4th before moving to 3rd and it’s definitely a plus knowing where students need to be for the next school year. The library yes!!

Also, stock up on bleach spray and hunt for Clorox wipes now. I am sending you positivity for a good year.

You have the most little kid teacher energy I love it.
🤣🤣🤣 I thought I was the only one who felt the same about my teacher desk like I love my desk its my own space

Ok so somehow I watched part 2 before part 1... 🤣🤣 loved this. I can see your passion and am truly SO excited to follow your journey this year.
Oh my goodness, Kyle! You are amazing! Subscribed right away! Your third graders are going to be so lucky to have you for their teacher!
Teaching the Tinies Wow - you are TOO kind. Means so much coming from you. Truly, thank you!
I don’t organize my class library in any order....I place the books in shoebox type bins and students “shop” by looking/flipping through the covers. They know what they’re looking for...
I am obsessed with your VLOGS!!!! Love them! Where am I supposed to sit and hide from the children :) I feel you on that one!
i'm excited for your 2021-2022 classroom setup
Catching up on elementary/middle/high school teacher channels.

Don't know what the fall is going to look like, but we're in it together!
You got SO much done in one day!! And I’m jealous that you get to start already.
I'm still exhausted from this day. Hah!
🤣🤣🤣 Yes! I don’t understand the no teacher desk thing.
Oh man, I’m so glad I found your channel!! Alsoooo... I need that white board table🤓
I just retired from teaching. This last year, I gave up on any type of library organization and stuck them on a shelf! It was freeing. 😛
FREEING. I am pumped!

Teaching Third it’s... a work in progress... hah! Much appreciated!

I love seeing more male teachers making vlog channels! Totally subbing :)
lol omg you amazing i love your energy. HAHA NEVER EVER give up that DESK! I love my desk.
You just earned a subscriber! I love classroom set up videos.
Love the style of your vlog!! Reminds me of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. How he talks to the camera in the movie. Lol! Excited to see more from you!!
Appreciate this!
I am excited for you
my son is moving up to 3rd grade I am not sure if you give tips for learning but I will be checking in
Gotta have a teacher desk! :)
So far so good! Classroom looking great! I wish we were back in our classrooms. Just found your channel! New Subbie!
Saw your buckeye cup! Go bucks!!! First year teacher this fall! Great video! I can’t wait to see the finished classroom!
GO BUCKS :)
We had to store all books. No sharing of materials of any kind including books. Everything will be digital. No carpet, no small group table either. No room since desks have to be 6 ft apart.
That all looks great but sad we can't have any of that due to covid. No books, no shared supplies, no toys, no shared comfort seating. Just desks and chairs. ☹️
If you sing the alphabet in your head, you have true talent! I have to sing it out loud😂😂
I can't believe you are in the classroom in the middle of June setting up your classroom.
when u asked does anyone else sing the abcs in their head i was like i do
4:46 ME ME ME I DO THAT EVERYTIME I JUST CANT STOP DOING IT
When do your students go back to school? Are you just an overachiever setting up in June? Also, has your district already determined that you will be face to face?
Hi Kyle! Found you on Classroom Sunshine’s channel and love your stuff. I love meeting new teacher tubers, I’m one as well! Your classroom looks amazing can’t wait to follow your journey. New subbie!
This is too kind -- can't wait to check out your channel!
I teach 3rd too!! So happy I discovered your videos!! and YES I sing the alphabet too! ha!
Hint for your library - inside number your books like all historical fiction would get a 5...
Hi, Kyle! Funny I worked with 4th grade last year as a Teaching Fellow (I was a paraprofessional for middle school the year before) next year I will be moving into 3rd grade math and science and a teacher!
I NEED that sign for my desk 🙌🏽🤣

Thank you so much!
Dying! Classroom setup tip: coffee, water, a lot. hahahaha
Definitely my new favorite teacher youtuber! And yes! I sing the alphabet when I have to put things in alphabetical order😂
I am so confused as to why you get to set up your classroom (for us so early). We literally ended school last week. I am jealous that you get to be in there. Looks good
I'm super lucky I got to work on my room as early as I did!
Jun 18 I was taking down my room and packing it up for the year. When does school start for you?
Great video, I just have a suggestion not to alphabetize your books since your students will probably not put them back. I would definitely alphabetize if those are your read-aloud, teacher resource books. Let me know how well your kids do with the alphabetized organization method. Good luck next year! :)
Appreciate this suggestion!
I saw a teacher's channel, I subbed!
I’m super jealous of you right now! I’m only fantasizing about what my classroom will look like. Also, I still sing the alphabet when alphabetizing. 🙂
Where did you get your labels?
I student taught in 3rd grade and loved it!! I also need to know where you got that sign on your desk because I love it 😂😂
I got it at this random, thrift store in Cleveland. Best find ever!!!
Omg where were you when I was in 3rd/4th grade. You seem SO fun! 😔😂
I used to work in a bookshop and I'd always sing the alphabet when putting books away 🤣
New here! I’m on my second year of elementary Ed!!
Omg I love how empty ur desk is, I’m literally the same way
Btw how did u make those labels for the books? I’m sorry if u already mentioned it in previous videos, I’m a new subscriber lol
I saw on his Instagram that he made them on google slides and printed them on Avery paper!😊
lilyopple ah thank u so much I’m gonna check it out now!!
NEED an empty desk!
Watching this video at midnight and I swear I laughed out loud multiple times. You’re funny! Love it !
How did you do those labels because I’m obsessed! Also a third grade teacher!
I made them on Google Slides! Changed the background colors and printed on Avery labels. Super easy and turned out great!
Kyle Cohen thank you! 😊
@@mr.kylecohen you should do a tutorial on it. They look soo cool
I really enjoy this Newbie
Hi, sir... I am also a teacher here in Philippines.. 😊😊😊
I totally sing the ABCs song when I alphabetize. I thought everybody did that.
Cake! Yum!
Me relating to singing the alphabet when placing things in alphabetical order 😂😂
Your personality is so cute lol 🌈I just found your channel (:
Where did you get those book labels? TPT?
I made them! More info on my Instagram.
I love this video.
Cute!!!
OMG I sing the alphabet too 🤪🙋🏼♀️
Wow! Nice vid! ❤️😊
Where did you get those stickers for spine of books?
I made them on Google Slides! Changed the background colors and printed on Avery labels. Super easy and turned out great!
@@mr.kylecohen Awesome! They look super good! Great job on your class! I am enjoying your series
Condolences.
Isn’t that how you alphabetize?...I mean it is just how my mind works,
I sing the alphabet as well 😂😂😂 !
I am an English teacher of Grade 3 in China
❤️❤️
Hi Teacher. Don't drag the table joking..
Hah!
I have to sing the alphabet too.
