You have NO idea how much your videos have helped me!!! I'm a first year middle School ELA teacher (used to be a social worker but changed careers at 50 y.o. - Eeeeek), and I have been binge-watching you!!!!! So many great ideas and so much inspiration!!!! Thank you!

Wireless doorbell? Genius!

OMG THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL CHANNEL!! I’m a first year teacher and I have been FREAKING OUT about setting up my classroom. But thank you for being amazing!

Lol it was so satisfying to watch you move the desks with the sounds😛😂😂

Not much done, BUT asap time to eat! Yes, you that right girlfriend! Don't we love this time? So much inspiration and high hopes for the upcoming year. Thanks for sharing your process! Happy year prep ~♡♡♡

I love that you have both the student and parent sign the scavenger hunt! I have my students do a written scavenger hunt in class, but I like the idea of having them do it at home as their first homework assignment!

Good luck on the start of a new school year!

I would like to hear more about type of incentives you use in your class for behavior since you are an upper grade teacher.

I have just about the same thought process for the begin of the school year. Thanks for confirming my what I felt was correct and beneficial

Love your color scheme!!!! 😍

Your videos really inspire me to start the year, and get out of summer brain mode! Can you do some teacher outfit videos? Thanks!

I used hanging files in my milk crate. Very handy!

Love the aesthetic in your room!

I am not an efficient worker at all either. I really need to work on that. I’m loving the colours in your room! I like the syllabus scavenger hunt idea -it’s a great way to hold students accountable. The “7 Habits...” bulletin board looks awesome! 😮👍🏾

Love it!

I love your set up!

Would you be able to post your syllabus scavenger hunt?

A really good book we had to read for my AP English 11 summer assignment was Tribe on Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger. I think it could be a useful tool or at least a good read.

Yes! Front Desk is the Global Read Aloud choice this year! We will be starting the year with this in 6,7,8 ELA!

Awesome! My first day back into my classroom was yesterday. Do you have a copy of the syllabus scavenger hunt?

Hi! Thank you so much for making these videos! They are so helpful! Do you have a copy of your English syllabus? I would love to see how you set that up.

Seeing your asian Americans poster on your cupboard made me think, have you been to or heard of the heart mountain museum and monument in wyoming? It's for relocated asian Americans (mostly japanese) after pearl harbor. Very fascinating but sad, you would like it

Thank you for showing how you create the letters on lucid press and then print them-- I've been trying to create something like this on Google docs and it just wasn't working. The font wasn't big enough. Thank you for the step by step explanation!

omg, hahahahaha! "I see that they mooooooooved a lot of mah things." That was my life last Monday....I LOVE our custodians...but c'mon!

I Luv the idea of the Binder of Standards & Posting them daily. I bought a standard bundle from TpT. Wish I had seen this vid first. 🙃

Just a second heads up but names are visible during lamination, looking out for you too! Love your videos!

love your earrings​. Where do you get them?

Thank you for this video! Can you please tell us about your prize box and how you use class incentives? Classroom mgmt stuff :) thanks!! I teach 7th grade ELA in California!

Omg where did you get those hamilton posters??

Where do you get your personalised planners from?

Where did you get that tassel garland!?

Just a heads up but you can see the students names when you were laminating the name tags. Just looking out for you!

Thank for the video. Did you read the book "Шоколадка - не взятка"? I saw it on your table.

You should sell like an ABC download that we can just print on our own.

Do you ever plan on moving up in the school like administration ? Or are you complete where you are ..

Omg your last name is Forbes just like me 😱

Thai food is the best

I am a parent who really enjoys watching your videos and other teacher classroom vids. I know you mentioned you might cover this in another video, but I am curious as to how you actually incorporate that "How to Change The World" book into your curriculum. Although I have only seen snippets of the book's outline, I'll admit that as a parent I would be concerned about my student being in your classroom and being taught from that book. From what I've seen it seems like the planner is just a series of lessons about how everyone except white men are now and have always been ONLY victims. I do not subscribe to the notion that the color of my skin nor what's in between my legs or on my chest makes me a victim of any kind, and I would never want my children feeling as though it does for them, and this is coming from a black mother with black children. Sorry for the long post, I am just curious. I really do enjoy your channel!
