    I would be so nervous. You are handling everything so well, Bailey. You are an awesome teacher. Your students are so lucky to have you. 💕😊

  • @hannahood6349
    @hannahood6349 Před 3 lety +37

    Bailey, don’t be nervous about support staff being in there! You have to stay consistent with your students! Teach and interact with the students as you would if the support staff wasn’t there! You got this!!

    • @itsbaileystokes
      @itsbaileystokes  Před 3 lety +7

      Thank you! It’s actually not as bad as I thought! I barely even remember they are there sometimes! 🥰❤️

    You should get string lights!! And then sometimes during work time you can turn off the main one for a more calm vibe

    • @itsbaileystokes
      @itsbaileystokes  Před 3 lety +9

      Yes! I want to get some more!

    • @cat3315
      @cat3315 Před 3 lety +4

      bailey you should do that! But don’t do it all the time or at least make sure it’s still bright because some kids prefer lots of lights and some kids get headaches from being in that weird dark but bright setting at the same time.

    Have a great first week! Just love them up. Everything else will fall into place. This will be my 19th year teaching. Every teacher is a first-year teacher this year. Also, if you use a pin and poke a hole in the bubble, it shouldn't come back. Hope that helps.

    I have been teaching for 4 years and trust me it gets easier but there are always time of feeling overwhelmed! You have such a great attitude! My best advice is do what you can. Veteran teachers are always doing a lot, BUT do what you can do. Then add on when you are ready. I learned this half way through my first year and was a lot better.

    @locruz134 Před 3 lety +9

    I actually am support staff (working to become a teacher) and we get just as nervous being in a new teachers room just because we don’t know their classroom operations or procedures yet either. Don’t worry, we’re usually excited to learn and observe all teachers and their different strategies, so teach as you would if we weren’t there! Love your videos by the way and your classroom is ADORABLE 💕💕

    its so cool of you documenting this whole process. in later years you'll look back on this like "heck yeah i did that" ❤

  • @pattikline4268

    Bailey, here's a trick I learned using my Cricut. When I get air bubbles with my vinyl, I take a needle/pin poke the bubbles then I use a squeegee to smooth the vinyl. Good luck and have fun with your 1st year.

  • @LizzehMarie
    @LizzehMarie Před 3 lety +23

    For the attendance magnets I would have each student move their own... Just with COVID, you should try to limit as many students touching other things as you can! Your room is amazing.

  • @CierraTionna
    @CierraTionna Před 3 lety +8

    I’m a first year teacher too and I completely feel your pain. I think overwhelmed is a understatement for me.

    • @terrywright4112
      @terrywright4112 Před 3 lety +1

      Hang in there, Cierra! It will get better!! Just remember your WHY!!!

  • @isabellalaurie5600
    @isabellalaurie5600 Před 3 lety +24

    Maybe have a box of fidget toys for kids with anxiety or have trouble focusing.

    A tip from my cooperating teacher back in the day, I teach middle school now, but using highlighter to write an ‘m’ on your master documents. The yellow highlighter will not copy through! So cool! I need to film a whole #FirstYearTeacherAdvice video series on my channel with these types of tips lol

  • @terrywright4112
    @terrywright4112 Před 3 lety +3

    You've got this, Bailey! I pray that everything goes well for you and your school this year!!

    Last year was my first year teaching and I was just as overwhelmed!!! Teachers in my district go back tomorrow and I’m fully planning to feel just as anxious and overwhelmed this year too. Take some time for yourself to relax this weekend 💕

  • @charisandrews2808
    @charisandrews2808 Před 3 lety

    I'm a 3rd year teacher, but I'm loving watching your vlogs. We can all still learn so much from each other! I love the "Save for Next Year" binder. My school uses Google Classroom and Drive, but there's SO many things that end up in the Drive, things can get lost. I definitely am going to make a binder to keep track of my most important stuff for next year. Thanks for sharing!

    Super cute video! Stay calm, things are going to fall into place - it's not going to be easy but it WILL be worth it!
    PS. Coming from a 6-year Support Staff Student Assistant - don't be nervous about the assistants coming in, we are mostly worried that we're not living up to your standards. We focus on the kids - we LOVE when the teachers feels like they can be themselves around us! I've become such great friends with the teachers I supported!

How much $$ would you say I need to save up when talking about decorations and school supplies with being a first year teacher and what are some things you suggest I should start to getting now?? Also I hope your first day went well❤️!

    • @itsbaileystokes
      @itsbaileystokes  Před 3 lety
