    I'm the old retired math teacher following your journey. Everything you are feeling is normal, including exhaustion. I suggest you start a daily journal with the good and the bad, write down what worked, what didn't, and what you want to try. You can never have enough storage, I didn't have to deal with kids storage(they went from class to class) but there is always more stuff to find places for. If you want to ask anything, feel free. I worked with many student teachers and it was a great joy for me to watch them grow into their own classrooms.

    Re: flood of supplies: I always went to a grocery store and asked to buy big paper bags at checkout (one per kid). But of course, I would mention I was a teacher and I always got them free ;-) I wrote the students' names on the bags and the kids dropped their stuff in the bag and I lined them up against a wall. It was a good way to get them organized (temporarily) while keeping the supplies separate.

    Some people think teaching is easy, it really isn’t. Firstly, you have to handle at least 20 children in a closed environment, secondly, you have to plan out everything and be really organized with everything, and lastly, there is high stress levels that come with some types of children, or not being financially stable from not being paid enough. Kudos to all the teachers out there. ❤️🥰

    as a person who had a first year teacher in fourth grade i have to say it was my favorite year. i feel as though first year teachers (no offense) kinda have no clue what they are doing so they just kinda go with the flow which makes the kids like it more if that makes any sense. i don’t know not sticking to a super strict schedule and having some fun time in fourth grade was so amazing and made that year sooo fun. i’m a freshman though so everything im saying might be irrelevant but oh well 🤣

    A fun end of day game we played was where the teacher was in the middle of the room and they’d say “go to this side of the room if you like (example: chocolate ice cream )” while pointing to the left/right side of the room then the opposite for the other side. We could go on like this for infinity here’s some good “if you like…” prompts:
    Hamburger/hotdog
    Chocolate chip cookie/sugar cookie
    Fruit/veggies
    Orange juice /apple juice
    Playing inside/outside
    Toy figurines/video games
    Cake/cupcakes
    Cookie/brownie
    Swimming pool/bike
    Ketchup/mustard
    Traveling/staying home
    I hope you do this, it’s. A great way to get to know your kiddos and for them to know each other. It could also help more shy/more left out kids feel like a part of the class

    Congrats on your first day of teaching! Last year was my first year, and I was fresh out of college just like you so I totally understand. I love that you set an intention of "the goal of today is to get kids here, feed them, and get them home." My intention for my first year of teaching was solely focusing on building relationships with students. It really helped me day by day with all the craziness and stress of school. Didn't get to everything I needed to? Oh well, at least I took my time on the lesson to make sure students understood. Didn't plan enough and have extra time at the end of class? I'll think of a game or even just sit and talk with my students. Set an intention for the school year like that and don't overwhelm yourself with all of the little things. Anyways, good luck on your first year. You will do great!!

    Congratulations 🎉 on your first day, you only get it once! And how lucky that you started on a Friday. You probably lowered your resistance being stressed about starting school, take care of yourself this weekend. And congratulations on making an anchor chart WITH your students, which is much more effective than doing it ahead of time. The kids are much more invested in it and remember what was discussed. Supplies are always a challenge to store, sounds like you have a good plan. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful year!

I've also seen teachers utilize milk crates and each student have one at their tables. They do get very messy though, and supplies seem to get lost in milk crates. I like the idea of a student work station which could hold supplies they may need throughout the year. Good luck this school year! You've got this!

    HAppy first day of school! MY name is Emily too! I am going into my 4th year of teaching.
    A heads up - don't use essential oils or a diffuser in your classroom. I have been sent to the emergency room 3 times because of allergic reaction from a colleagues diffuser. In addition, when I was a student a classmate's family sued a teacher for causing anaphylactic shock due to the teacher's diffuser.
    I know you want the classroom to be warm and inviting but it is just not worth it safety wise! Even if you got written permission from all student's parents, you never know about the kids down the hall.Scents travel fast.
    Please think about it.

    I'm new to your channel was in recommended videos to watch and I love the classroom set up. I give props to all yall teachers for handling all the kids in classrooms. But you said something about needing to make a seating chart. I had an idea to throw out and hope you use it and maybe can show on vlog one day. But make a floor plan of desks with random numbers for the amount of students and have the students pick a number when that number is said write their name down on that number and thats there spot it was a cool way my teacher in elementary school did this quite often and the kids love it because we never knew where we were going til the teacher told us. If they get the same number there already at just say pick another number just so other kids dont know thats the number or you can change that number. Hope this is explained well. Hope to see it in one of the vlogs.
