I love your ideas! I do a memory book starting with pictures from the first day of school! Every time they do a presentation I take a picture and put it in their book. Its a special gift to parents from me. The parents cry when they receive them. I also make an art portfolio that they can keep their art activities in for the year.
I started smiling so hard when you pulled out the tapes, I created folders for my kindergarten kids, and put each on one half of the folder, so that they could keep their works inside the folders and they could color on the front while they did transitions.
Just started watching you! Did not realize you live in Alabama until I saw your Auburn shirt! I am so in love with your room! And your enthusiasm! Also, love your windows!
I have become addicted to your videos since I discovered your channel. I'll be done with my bachelors degree next May and I am super excited to stat teaching. I hope that I will be able to teach in either Kindergarten or 1st grade after I get my certifications completed here in Florida next summer. I find your videos so insightful!
I bought the chalkboard tape for this year ... get a really good chalkboard pen because it does wipe off relatively easily with regular chalk ... but they are convenient :)
Hello from Australia, Love your blogs. Just Wondering if you have uploaded any videos of you moving into your new classroom yet? and if so are you able to number them so we can watch them in order. thanks Manu Gold Coast Queensland Australia
You should make a video about your schooling to become a teacher. How many years of college did you do? What kind of test and how many test did you have to take to be a teacher and whats the process? I want to start college to be a teacher but the thought of the schooling really scares me because I'm not a college person so a video on that would be like amazing!
Hi, you're awesome and I hope this comment reaches you! Do you have your own comb binding machine or do you take your materials to a store/use one at school to get it done? I'm looking to buy a comb binding machine so I can make my kinders something awesome like the portfolios you put together! Just wrapped up my first year of teaching and my mind has been overflowing with ideas and changes for next year! Thanks :D
I have a spiral binding machine that I use for some projects. This is the one I have amzn.to/1UlezeE I use the comb binding machine at the school. Those can be expensive and very large so I have yet to invest in one of those. I hope this helps
That does help! The one you mentioned is one of the two I was looking into, I love Swingline and the color of that product just makes it all the better. The other one I was looking into was by Fellowes, www.amazon.com/dp/B008WJYMTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_d_vbXwxb8N6CT21 I'll have to really think about it and then make my mind up. Haha. Thanks again!
I love the portfolios! So cute!

I use sharpie paint pens and write their names on the desks. It comes off with expo marker and hand sanitizer
Awesome job! I wish I were half the teacher that you are!
Yes video on the portfolios please! So so cute!!
♥️♥️ I'll try and squeeze them into a VLOG. They are very simple. I just cut off the bottom part of the bag and bind them together.

I teach 4th grade science and think those portfolios would be a great place to keep science work samples and data organized by area of science.
