Stay safe mama 😊 congrats and good luck on the upcoming year and with the new little baby ❤

Why are you going back if you are pregnant?

Wow! You are making such fast work of classroom setup. I was one of those who overthought everything. Love the classroom!

I love your classroom library shelves!! Try not to do too much heavy lifting sweet momma!! 💖💖 Have a great year!

When you were in your room trying to figure out how to set it up, I do the same thing. I call it "dwelling". I sit in silence, imagining the students are there. I make sure that things are visible, accessible, and minimally distractable for the students. Next, I take pictures 360⁰. Then, I create a floor plan in my notebook or in Google Slides. That way, I have an idea of what I want the room to look like. I won't be excessively moving furniture and getting tired( I'm old.😀).

Congratulations! I am also going back to 2nd grade this year. I've been at my current school for 2 years, and all they've really seen me is as a 5th grade teacher. They didn't realize in my 25+ years of teaching K- middle school, 5th grade was the last one I taught.( Intentionally, in my district in another state , all 5th graders went to overnight camp with their teachers. No thank you. 😊) So, my principal came to me, very hesitantly, to ask if I would teach 2nd grade. That's like Br'er Rabbit being thrown in the briar patch( " Born and raised in a briar patch."). Second is my grade. My inner child is 8. I did 2nd for student teaching, my first 5 years of my career, and later, a couple of more years. I am so excited! I have been using in a composition book( I use one every year .) It has my materials list, floor plan, bulletin board sketches, basic ideas, curriculum ideas, anchor charts, etc. Godspeed to you. May we both have amazing years teaching the Class of 2035. 🤩

Looking good so far. ❤ Congratulations 🎊

Hello! For the “Welcome” page select “Fit to Page” on the print window that pops up, should solve the problem.

Gatlin has gotten so big so fast. ❤ adorable nursery for the new little bundle. I hope you and your family are having a blessed week. And a safe and healthy delivery. 😊

Hi there! I’m a special education teacher and just wrote my first picture book for little ones. I would LOVE for you to check it out. I’ll attach the Amazon link below: A School Is Many Things a.co/d/iOHJAqR

I teach in upstate SC too!❤️

Could you please share where you got the bundle for the schedule, birthdays, days of the week, etc.? It is so fun.

Luck you inheriting so many books! I started with a blank slate unfortunately. There wasn’t a teacher in my classroom full time before I came so I’m starting from scratch😩 I’m slowly building my classroom library but it can be expensive….good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy and the school year!

Hi, you can put black bins with books on the top of the library and those books without bins on the top shelf. 😊

🤔 so how long will you be out for once baby is born...sounds so stressful...wishing you the best

Looking good so far! I know you are exhausted between the heat, having a toddler and being at the end of your pregnancy.

Hi! I’m new here. Can I ask why you quit in Nov?

So excited you are coming back to teaching!! I always knew that’s what you were called to do. 🩵

Congrats , great job on the nursery.

I’m so excited to meet the little one! Been here since before Gatlin was born! How exciting! I’m a new mama myself. ❤️❤️ I love your videos!

I hope you and your family have a blessed week. 😊

Great video, can you please consider doing a day in your life, grocery haul with meal plan. Budgeting videos with budget check ins , and more plan with me videos if you can, thank you for sharing. Can you also do a new house tour and a question and answer video of how you and Jeremiah met?

That washi reminded me of Strawberry Shortcake too! Very cute 🥰

are you still a teacher?

What pen arebyounusing? I am such a freak for pens 😂

I hope you all had a blessed July 4th.

The empty space was there last year. I happen to like it. I use it as a dedicated space for different things - mark events/vacations that span across a few days, weather tracking, household to do’s (order/pickup groceries, laundry, trash day, etc…).

cute!

CONGRATS, MIKAYLA!! :)

Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. I hope you and your family are having a blessed beach vacation ⛱️.

Thanks for sharing!

Just found you. Really like your video. Looking forward to checking out more.

Prenatal yoga was always my go to when pregnant. I found it helpful with preparing my body for labor so that my body wasn’t as sore in recovery. Just an option vs waiting until after baby. A little movement is better than none (as long as your doctor hasn’t restricted it).😊

Congratulations on your new home. ❤ I hope you and your family have a blessed week. Love all the setup ideas.

I like the way you set up your bday/xmas gift ideas page.❤

Congratulations on your new baby on the way and your new home!! I have totally used your 12 boxes idea this year and will again in my new planner. I love it :) looking forward to part 2!

Congrats on your house and new baby coming. Are you going to do budget video's and day in the life video's? Thank you for sharig.

So glad to see your back! Can’t wait to see your setup! I got so many ideas watching your older setup videos 😊

Congratulations!! Are you going to do some more planning videos? Your videos are amazing.
