That is amazing! I love it when my mother is able to come help me. I hope your daughter has a great school year! 😊

Thanks so much! I've gotten even more ideas since publishing this video. It's fun to create learning spaces that children can enjoy. 😊

Thank you so much! That means a lot. ❤️

Thanks so much - that means so much. 😊

Thank you so much! I'm well aware how unique my situation is - I have never been able to paint in a classroom during the many years I've been teaching until now. Grateful for a principal and director that appreciate my vision and support what I want to do for kids. Wishing you luck and creativity on your own classroom design. Designing classrooms is one of the most fun design projects I've had the pleasure of doing.

Wow, thank you!

Thanks so much! I knew this one might not appeal to all my subscribers expecting home content, but it was SO MUCH FUN documenting my classroom design process. Thanks for watching!

This is the product of 13 years of experimentation and it’s definitely evolved a lot as I’ve been able to save and purchase more furniture and decor. Take it one step at a time - you will create something amazing for your students! 🤩

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks so much! It's become a trend at our school. We have these darling wood frames in front of each room and all the teachers have started bringing in childhood photos to display outside. 😊

Thank you so much! That means a lot, truly. Take care!

Thanks so much, Janice! I'm so glad this one resonated with some subscribers - teaching is a huge part of my life so it feels great to share a little of that from time to time. I have a ton of organizational tips to share - so maybe more to come. 😊

The Class Charter is a concept that comes directly from the RULER program developed at Yale. The program was created to support students' social/emotional needs at school and teaches a variety of strategies. Each Class Charter is completely unique to each group of students - written by them - to express how they want to feel when working together and the action steps we will all take to help each other feel that way every day in our classroom.

That is so sweet, thank you so much! I appreciate it so much. Teachers work so incredibly hard to create the backdrop for joyful learning. This room was truly magical. 🥰

Thank you so much! That means a lot. It was a beautiful space and I'm so glad I documented it and can look back at the memories. 💛

I tried not to over think it but it was so hard to pick he right color. Luckily my mama is always there to help me narrow it down. Thanks for watching!

That is amazing and so appreciated! I was unfamiliar with Rosanna Pansino -she's lovely. Thanks so much! I'm currently taking a couple weeks off from upload as I'm taking my brand to a new place moving forward - coming back with something fresh this Sunday!

Aw! Thank you so much! Miss you! ❤️

Thank you! 😊

You are absolutely right! I was shocked at the size of this room when I moved in back in 2019 in comparison to other schools and classrooms I had worked in previously. I find the older the school the larger the classrooms - in my area at least. Schools built in the 1980s and after have much smaller classrooms due to an increase in school populations.

¡Muchas gracias por ver mi vídeo! ¡Buena suerte diseñando tu centro de aprendizaje!

Hahahaha! Right?! That is the appropriate response. My jaw hit the floor when I came in and saw this was the "building refresh" plan they didn't exactly make clear to us. Breaks my heart they do this to historic school buildings like mine.

Thank you so much! Yes, I've purchased nearly everything you see here other than chairs, desks, and curricular materials. I've invested a lot in my career/classroom for my students. I wish it wasn't necessary to do so.

Thanks so much, Sara! That's a great question. I much prefer table groups as opposed to desks in rows. I always remind my students - we don't have one teacher and 22 students, we have 23 teachers and 23 students in our classroom. We have to discuss our ideas and learn from each other along the way. Groups foster partner learning and group learning. It's really classroom management skills and established routines that skilled teachers use to make all grouping situations work for student learning. If your lesson is truly as inspiring as it should be and students have the supports they need, and they are given adequate breaks throughout the day, they should be deeply engaged in their learning. 😊

Nearly everything was bought with my own money. Items furnished by my school/district in this video are the student desks and chairs, the group table, presentation station, computer and projector, easel, my teacher desk and the shelf behind it, and the curricular materials (teacher's guides and trade books, science kits, etc.). Everything else including the bookshelves, library full of books, other organizational furniture, all the decor, and a lot of learning tools and manipulatives, craft supplies, everything were provided by me.
