    YAY SETUP VIDEOS ARE FINALLY HERE! There will be a new video every day for the next five days and then a full classroom tour! :) Missed you! Was your classroom empty or full when you moved into it? If you're not a teacher yet...what would you prefer? Let me know in the comments!

    I've moved into an empty classroom, a classroom that was SLAP FULL of years of stuff, and a classroom that was left with the normal amount of stuff. Empty classrooms to me are much easier. It took a full year, lots of donations, lots of help, and many, many trash bags to clear out the full one.

    Hi! I’m a new subscriber and I am moving to Kindergarten this year in Florida after teaching 2nd for 10 years. I appreciate all that you have shared to help me get prepared! I love your classroom!

    Love setup videos! So excited for this series.
    My classroom was STUFFED, but it was full of completely useless items. For example, I had boxes upon boxes of dried out dry erase markers, a manual for an ABACUS, and books from long before I was born. I had cabinets full of math board games from the 80s, and science materials... when I don’t teach science! It took me weeks to get rid of even a fraction of the clutter so that I could fit my own supplies.

    • @MrsCallsCampers
      @MrsCallsCampers  3 роки тому +1

      thank you!!
      I had a lot of those things too. I think when you teach for awhile you don't really go through things and toss as they expire/get old. I'm still working through trying to clear things out but it is a lot to take on!

    I’m currently virtual (and pushing into classrooms when I’m not virtual) so no classroom for me. But I did teach 3 years in one school where I constantly switched rooms. I prefer an empty classroom. When I first got hired my classroom was full of stuff I didn’t know what to do with. When I switched classrooms the year after I got rid of some stuff. But midway through my third year I switched classrooms again to the tiniest classroom you ever saw (it took my 36 steps to walk the perimeter of tue classroom it was that small). So I really was able to get rid of all the things I should have gotten rid of my first year. It’s overwhelming walking into a fully set up classroom if it’s not what you envision your classroom to look like. You’ve done an amazing transformation of the classroom. I love your set up videos! Can’t wait for the rest of them!

    • @MrsCallsCampers
      @MrsCallsCampers  3 роки тому

      Yes! Having less space definitely helps get that final push of what you need and don't need. It probably feels nice to know there's a purpose for every single thing you have now! Thank you for your sweet comment!

    I’m so excited for these videos to come out! I moved into my room mid-year after the previous teacher left (unwillingly) which made it very hard because it was completely not my style, conducive to kindergarten-ages learning, or functional, in my opinion. I had A TON of work to do just to get it ready to teach in a space that worked with my style of teaching and it was very overwhelming.

    I’ve move into two classrooms this year. My first one the teacher left everything because she was coming back the next year. And the one I am currently in she left everything but is coming back at the end of the year to take some of it. She left mid year to be home with her small children. A lot of the things in there have been past down from year to year and I’m looking forward to making it truly my own this summer!!

  • @lisandraaboytes4674
    @lisandraaboytes4674 3 роки тому

    Pretty full! The previous teacher took almost all her things, but left it full with all the stuff from previous teachers and things that didn’t work for her new grade. I definitely got rid of so much! But as a new teacher I did need things, so it worked out!

    I had a FULL classroom! I’m a first year teacher this year and it was chaotic to come into a classroom with so much stuff that wasn’t mine or fit into my ideas/teaching style. My teacher is still on campus she just moved positions and took only 1/2 of her stuff! It was very sweet to get all of that stuff and I’m not ungrateful but it was overwhelming! I think I’d prefer an empty classroom to start fresh!

    • @MrsCallsCampers
      @MrsCallsCampers  3 роки тому

      it's definitely a hard position to be in - hopefully you could use some of the things! it's nice in the sense that they can "hold you over" until you can afford everything you really want haha

    I haven’t had my own classroom yet (still in college, but hope to have one someday soon!). I think if I was a first year teacher, it might be helpful for some stuff to be in the classroom (like maybe some furniture), but definitely not as a seasoned teacher with stuff of my own. Personally, I feel like starting with a clean slate sounds kind of nice.

  • @maddybrooks4062
    @maddybrooks4062 3 роки тому

    I’m so glad you’re back! I absolutely love your videos & get so much inspiration from you! I started this past January in Kinder. The teacher before me left a FULL & messy classroom!! Thankfully my team cleared most of it before I got there so it wasn’t too much of a hassle. But, I decided to move classrooms this school year & the teacher whose room I took was retiring and she had a LOT of things left!! I spent nights upon nights just reorganizing all her things because I did not have anything! I think I preferred that over not having anything though! #mccgiveaway1

    This whole American concept of grades is so wild to me. Where I grew up, we always had different teachers for each subject, even in elementary school. I think working with the same group of children for a whole year would get me super attached to them😅 Although if I’m being honest, that might be because of me, since I’m a kind of a TA right now and spending my time with fifth graders and as much as they are annoying me, I’m so sure I’ll cry my eyes out when I have to leave them in July😅

I just had a grade switch mid year to a new school (middles school to third grade) and I still haven’t seen my classroom in person. The week I was supposed to go check it out I got covid and then the district closed all schools completely until February so I have to wait until then to see what I got 🤷🏽‍♀️ #mccgiveaway1

This is the first year I had to take most of things home because of the lack of space (all school items and no closet space).

I think I would rather have an empty classroom to start with just because I’ve already been gathering supplies that I would use and I would get too overwhelmed with it all of there was a ton of stuff😬 I think i would end up not being able to finish and then being frustrated by not having a finished room for when school starts.
