XOXO
I would love going to class seeing how aesthetically pleasing everything looks and how all the colors flow ☺️
Your room looks really cute!
One small suggestion, I would anchor that mirror onto the wall somehow. I just wouldn’t want it to fall onto a kid or break. I hope this doesn’t seem rude in any way, I know other’s suggestions can sometimes come off rude or just be unwanted. As part of my school’s safety committee mirrors are often a topic of discussion.
I love your room but I agree, that mirror needs to be secured. Accidents happen and you don't want someone hurt
You could add some green plants-fake or real-but plants go a long way in a classroom to make it feel homey :)
I love these vids and Emily is the only person that has interested me in classroom set ups

The fan isn't very loud so and doesn't interrupt the video at all! Just telling you so it isn't super hot. It looks soooo good so far and I can't wait to see it when it's finished!!! ♡♡♡
you should put that dotted wallpapered stuff in the back of the book shelves!! itd be really cute
Hang up a rainbow led light in the affirmation station on that empty wall !
Or fairy lights would be cute too
I just wanted to say your room is sooo cute and I think you’ll be a great teacher! I’m not a teacher or even an aspiring teacher, but I stumbled on your page by complete accident but I’m invested now!
Love your classroom. I remember well the excitement of organising my first classroom in the UK. It was overwhelming and so exciting. It'll get easier every year. Classrooms reflect values, and you have really put well-being and representation at the heart of your practice.
You mention that the Affirmation Station looks a little empty. Just an idea, which would make it more cosy and help with area zoning and promoting reading: why not put the library banner, which is an affirmation and is perfect for a calm area, in the affirmation station, You could then print out quotes from books or pictures of writers or print outs about reading/inference skills, or anything book-related in the library. I know you like the look of the library, but having something book-related will send a positive message about the value of reading to students.
Good luck! Hope you enjoy your first year.
You should turn your projector on and put border around the area where the projection shows on the white board
you can get some bean bags for a seating area, I always loved when my teachers had cool seats in their room. Also you should do a superstar student of the week and they have special benefits that motivates the kids to want to do well :)
It’s coming together soooo nicely!!!!
thank you!!
She is literally gonna be the best teacher I can’t
I would suggest getting some kind of curtain for your window to help with the glare on the white board when you are presenting from your projector. It can have some bad viewing angles with a glare from the natural light.
Love how your class is coming together. It looks great and so calming!!
The voice levels thing is so clever! I remember when I was in elementary, in our cafeteria there was a full sized Traffic light lol … Green = Good , Yellow = Alight, chill out ….Red = Uh-Ohhhh
Loveeee how cute everything is turning out, binged all your setup videos today.
Recommendation: if turn your teacher desk to where it angles outward you’ll be able to see your whole classroom, your tassel decor/fabric will be seen along with your name banner. Then you can move the two white shelves behind you so your personal decor/pictures and stuff can be kept private
You could totally make some positive thinking posters or like thought bubbles to go in that corner around the wall like deep breaths, count to twenty, you got this, not every day is a bad day, after thunderstorms comes rainbows, imagine your bad thoughts as balloons and release them into the sky with each deep breath, even the best fall down sometimes, and focus on the present - what are three things you can see, two things you can touch, and one thing you can hear.
Deep breaths like in for five, hold for five, and out for five
Just a suggestion. If I was you I would try to see if you can hang the grammar and writing banner from the piece of the wood above the large bulletin board. It would give you more space. Plus you can also move up the writing posters you have hanging currently more to the top of the bulletin board and then underneath the posters you can make an objective board under those posters and get a clear folder that you can write the objective on or put a piece of paper with the objective printed on it. Also I know you said you want a student center which I think is a great idea but you should really use the space next to your cabinets next to your door, it's prime real estate. You can cover the boxes hanging there with paper and put student center on that so it gives it a title and then put a table there with the turn in bins and penciled sharpener etc on the table then hang some fabric off the table and use under the table as storage space.
I think you should hang the affirmation station sign on rope and hang diagonally across the space, it will help to add more dimension to the space! It will help to draw your eye there!
The colors of the pillows and ottoman cover really match your classroom colors well! Super cute!
I love your videos! I start student teaching this fall, so excited to be do this myself hopefully next summer!!
I have loved watching these!! I would use the shelves for your planning binders/teacher materials you’re currently using so it’s easy access! Also have you thought about switching your word work/grammar to the door and making the big bulletin board science and social studies?
So cute the affirmations are so positive and what children really need!
I’m so excited to follow your journey!!! Please keep us in the loop on what you’re teaching and how it’s going!!
will do!!!
I've been watching since day 1 classroom set up, and I honestly think you're gonna do great, and it looks so cute in your classroom. your kids are gonna have an awesome teacher
casting my vote for more posters in the affirmation station!!
For the positive corner get some tapestrys like the one u have in the library and hang posters :) also get some stuffed animals cause it calms kids down :) (these are suggestions btw I love ur videos) 😍
Such a sweet mother-in-law!
Love the voice levels idea your classroom theme flows so nicely!
seriously the cutest classroom ever
I’m so invested in this set up blog !!! Got so many ideas 🥰💕
Your library is so freaking cute .. we literally said it at the same time lol .. loooove the black boarder on the objectives …. LOVE your desks and the little rug looks perfect there too! I’ve had lights on my board before but I love that you just put it in the bottom. Less distracting
You could put the rug that’s by your table under it and so that way it’s not in the way and you can have a little rug on your feet 🙂 I loved watching these videos they are so calming and so fun to watch ! 🥰
Love it all !!!❤️
early. i love your set ups better than the others.
you should hang fairy lights from the chrome book case to the bookcase to go above the affirmation station. would really tie it all in i think. everything is beautiful!
You should put a turn in tray for each class next to your desk in those white cubbies so it’s easier to access
I’m so invested in your classroom!! maybe in those square cubby things next to your desk you could put like trays of colorsheets and extra worksheets related to the unit for people who need extra practice and just make it cute. Or maybe prizes for like games or anything like that.
it’s difficult to put any kind of paper in it because the shelves aren’t even deep enough to hold a piece of paper😭 but i like the idea of prizes and things like that!☺️
you should add some curtains and lights on the wall for your aff. station. I think it would make it super cute
you should put like those hanging fairy lights and those cute hanging vines that would look rlly good
I would hang the mirror flat up on the wall because where it is now, some student will invariably lean up against it and break it.
Add some ppe items to the white shelves near your desk, so hand sanitizer, extra masks in case, wipes
or you could also add either candles or those oil sent thing with the sticks (hopefully you know what im talking about lol) so your room is smelling nice
or extra mini water bottles in case a student forgets to bring one
Those stick things are called incense !(:
I love the black border for the objectives
It's really coming along.
I love your classroom ♥ ♥
I love this video 🥰
Scrunch the burlap trust me it's sooo cute!
after this series I would love to see like daily life as a teacher or morning routine and night routine, I think itd be cool!
i will do all of those for sure☺️
Love these!
thank you so much!
You should get a cute tapestry for the calm area and 2 more of the blow up seats from 5 below and hang the rainbow Sign that’s on the board above the board on the wall you should get a wreath for your door that says welcome
That diversity sign and the hand heart strips you have with hanging picture quotes… my English teacher has them.
Amazing! Maybe some things in the middle of the table for like pencils and glue sticks etc. if that works for u!
I love it so beautiful 🥰♥️
maybe get fairy lights for around the affirmation mirror
you should add fairy lights to the chill affirmation station corner :D
if you want to do a treasure box of some sort but don’t want to put tons of money into it you can use those little animals erasers and call the “desk pets” or “cubby pets”. i saw a tik tok about how the kids get those like after a review for a test and when they have free time they can make little homes for them in the desk/cubby
I’m stealing your idea with the push lights for voice levels omg
I wish my teachers room looked like this. Question do the kids have lockers? If not where will they put their bags?
11:00 professional teacher moves!!!
I like the black objectives boarder
where did you get all this inspo?? i loveeee:)
For your calm down area you should get a fidget kit so you don’t have to spend a lot of money on it separately! :) I love your videos
Thanks for your videos Mrs wickman
Amazon wish list and organize bins
Where did you get the green bins from? I love the color and need these too! Love watching your classroom setup videos 💗
I think she said Hobby Lobby, but my local Dollar Store has similar ones!! (:
i got them from amazon! but yes you can find them lots of places!
dude ive been watched from begenning i love itttttt :D not in the same schools as u but it;s mk
Where did you get the magnets? Do you have a link for them?
Looks good! 😊 But for me, I don't miss spending my own money on the classroom. 😂
by the mirror you should do a wall gallerly 😊😊
I WISH MY TEACHERS HAD THIS ROOM😭✋🏻
Yes it was day 8 you are correct
Can you give me the link to where you purchased your border, with the hands? I am working in an Urban school, and I just loved it!!
sadly there is not a link because i bought it this summer in the target dollar spot😭
@@emilyinthemiddle3119 I remember hearing you say that, but I was hoping it was for a different one!! Darn!! I’m so enjoying your videos! I just interviewed for a fourth grade position yesterday! I’ll be my first year, as well:)
It looks amazing! Maybe u can add fabric under your desk! Just a suggestion!
there is fabric under!!
Oh I’m sooo sorry! Didn’t notice! Also are u Going to make a first day of school video!
yes!
Where did you get your pillows?
I have a idea u should make a grwm on the first day of school
Everytime I see the Chromebook holders, it bothers me because they're up so high. I know that you can't control that though!
Hiii :)
My teacher for this year has him classroom theme as avengers…..
i wish i was in your class
I don’t want to be this person at all bc I love this series but I just wanted to add to be super careful with pillows in a fourth grade classroom. Lice freaks me out.
turn any border you're not using over = white border :)
also a lot of wasted money here. and you could support businesses that are not hobby lobby. sorry to be negative but you have a lot to learn.
@@AE-ud8zr ummm huh? Unnecessary comment. good thing it’s not your money lol
