I love that you are giving the books to the new teacher! I remember panicking as a first year ELA teacher in middle school (21 years ago 🤫) because I had no idea that I needed to stock my own classroom library. I thought the school provided books. I was so thankful for the teachers on the hall who helped me by donating books from their libraries ❤.

You should make a black and white version of your posters and hang them on the wall. Then as you introduce them throughout the year, you can stick the colored version on top. That’s how I’m going to do my sound wall this year! (I teach 1st)

It’s so contagious…. 😍 I am teaching summer school with my littles this year……. Can’t wait to see more vlogs of getting your brand new classroom all set up - you are sooo right - the decor doesn’t matter when it comes to teaching - just your kiddos and the teacher - the decor is extra….. ❤️

It’s always so awkward waiting for the current teacher to move her things out so you can move your things in! You don’t want to put pressure on them to hurry or anything, but at the same time you want to be in a good stopping point for summer! Otherwise, it’s constantly taking up space in your brain! 😂

100% agree with you about the boom leveling. Don’t feel bad about passing out things that aren’t going to serve you or your students in your new classroom. Storing things that could be of use to another teacher doesn’t make sense to me, either. I’m moving from 2nd to 3rd and passed along as much as I could to my former student teacher who will be in second grade this coming year.

I also do bagged books for kids to take home! I just do it with books that are donated/garage sale finds. I don't do it by level though- I let them choose so they have a joy read at home. If I want to send a decodable text for a student, it's an additional printed page that I throw in with their choice baggie book! :)

I teach 2nd grade and it is my absolute FAVORITE grade! The kiddos are so sweet, but also more independent than I expected. I think you will love it. Also, it is so sweet and selfless of you to donate your books. I agree with your reasoning. Why let books sit in storage, when kids can enjoy them?! Love it. You are an amazing teacher! Those are some lucky 2nd graders to be getting you as their teacher next year! Good luck ❤️

I moved from 2nd to Kindergarten this past year and the amount of books in my closet right now are overwhelming. I still have them in their baskets like they were in my previous room, and am not really sure what to do with them all. Like you, I don't want to box them up, because I could have that kiddo who is performing well above grade level and would need books, and I also like having things that other teachers can borrow. I'm working on how to organize them over the summer so they don't take up as much room, though, LOL.

I’m teaching summer school for incoming 3rd graders! I’m loving it because it’s partially in-person. Also, I’m working on my classroom and changing my color scheme. We had workers come in during the last year and damaged a lot of our wall decorations so I just decided to start fresh. This is my 7th year of teaching and my 5th year in 2nd grade. I love it! I’m sure you will love it as well.😊

For baggy books this year, I plan on letting my first graders choose 5ish books a leveled books bin (levels are more important in first grade, especially for the kids that I get- I wouldn't probably be leveling either in 2nd!) each week to read in class, along with a couple of "i-pick" books from a different shelf. The "i-pick" books will be my more expensive picture books, along with favorite series, like Mo Willems and Pete the Cat, etc and these books will all have a silver star on them so they don't get mixed up. Each night, they will choose one book from their bag that does not have a silver star on it to take home in their folder to read to their parents and return the next day M-Th. Most of my leveled books are what you refer to as "quick-reads" or my lowest levels include some really basic Bob Books style phonics readers. I'm going to make it an incentive that they get 5 dojos each week for their parent signing the reading log AND returning the book the next day to hopefully keep most of my books coming back to school. I could see this implemented in 2nd grade, too. I've done them different ways, but I like implemented student choice as much as possible and keeping it simple with just one book a night. It seems like when I pick their baggie books for home, it makes reading more of a chore.

I have to share my experience in moving down...years ago, I was moved from 5th to 3rd, and forgot to consider the fact that my students were at the END of 5th, and I began teaching with students at the BEGINNING of 3rd, so just keep in mind how young and dependent they will likely be when they arrive that first day/week. Gonna feel like a long day to them! You'll be great though!!!
