    I actually like that you did this mid-year. It feels more real and realistic since you know the layout is working for your students.

    When you first showed the pink basket of name tag holders, I thought they were pacifiers! 😂

    It seems like you make everything so happy and bright lol. And it just seems so welcoming and fun!

    Ooo! I love how colorful your room is! Also a great idea to create your own personal bulletin board. I think its so important in building relationships with students for them to know a little bit about you, outside of school!

    I can’t wait until I get to decorate my room next year and this video is so inspiring! I was hired a week before the school year so I’ve been bringing things in piece by piece. I’m super jealous of your windows too! I’m in a converted wood shop so it’s kinda like a dungeon...

    I just started listening to Hamilton and I'm obsessed too! I'm an instructional assistant and I'm going back to school now to get my degree soon. You are lucky. When I worked in middle school I adored the sweet sixth graders and I also adored the fun-loving soon to be high schoolers. Happy I found your channel!

    @spencerpatton4338 4 роки тому +1

    I’m in middle school and all i wanna do before school starts is study up on my grade. Like expectations, homework, and advice. If any of the kids here are like me and get obsessed with something they’re about to get or an event that’s about to happen such as middle school, I would suggest looking up middle school advice and middle school expectation vs. reality.

  • @tyannrobertson

    I love the polka dots you used on the inside of the borders! One tip that I love to do with my border is staple it up a little bit away from the corner and then when it is all up, I cut where the borders meet at a diagonal into the corner so then it just forms a pretty square.

    I haven't started teaching yet, but I love how you have your class put together. It is incredibly positive, colorful, and seems to be very welcoming. I was wondering though, do you purchase everything from the bulletin boards to the supply boxes, the bins, baskets, magazine holders at your turn in station? If so, how much do you usually spend when you re-do your room?

    • @toocoolformiddleschoolblog
      @toocoolformiddleschoolblog  6 років тому +4

      It's always a few hundred dollars. I spend that now, but my first year I kept it under $100 :)

    @KeaLynn 6 років тому +2

    :O :O once I got to middle school it was just bare white walls and individual desks. Maybe some teachers had us in pairs but I think only one class my entire time... Maybe middle school wouldnt have been so horrible if I was in your school!

I've purchased lots of fonts, but I really like this one, and though I keep seeing it, I can't seem to find it! Haha, thank you!

    Beautiful classroom. I’m so surprised that your students don’t draw on your materials or take them. That’s a testament to your classroom management skills. Growing up students would destroy every and everything my teachers would make look beautiful.
