- Hi! I'm Maddie - a first-year kindergarten teacher. Follow along as I set up my first classroom! Please say hi in the comments and let me know what you'd like to see more of in the next set-up video :)

Edit:
1) I apologize that the volume is so up and down in this video. I have figured out how to make it much better in future videos.
2) Thank you for your concerns about the rack in the bathroom! After reading through all of your comments, I am definitely considering alternative options :)
Here are the links to my Amazon wishlists for those asking:

Teachers work so hard and spend so much of their time and money making sure their students have everything they need. My daughter starts kindergarten on Monday and I am so excited. I’m sure I’m more excited than her. I don’t even teach, but at times I find myself getting annoyed with the parents that complain about the school supply lists. I don’t think many parents take the time to consider just how much time, money, and dedication teachers pour into their children.
Yes, it is definitely frustrating at times when families complain... but I try to remember that not everyone understands how much of themselves teachers pour into each student - mentally, emotionally, and financially :)
This is true, but buying everything on those lists can be quite expensive and not every family has that kinda money
MIchelle LiliBeth this comment wasn’t for those who are financially strapped. I understand there are some families that cannot afford the necessary supplies.
R. Vaughn yessssss...
What
Just a thought from an experienced K teacher........don’t make your bathroom too attractive or give the kids too much to look at. Some of them will take forever in there just looking at all the stuff😉
Yes! Such a good point. Thanks for the feedback!!
Haha! I don't think I would have thought of that. Great tip!
Lol ya!
Anita Dally very true I used to do that lol
I’m going to college to become a elementary school teacher & this gives me so much motivation 💙😩🥺😍
I'm so glad!
I really want to be a teacher but they don't make enough moneyy😭
me too ! so excited 😆
@@serenasimms8612 how about you have twi jobs like youtube and school and ask your students to sub past and future students
@@serenasimms8612 or have a husband to HELLPPP dont use them lol
Dude, she’s the cutest thing how can theses people watch this whole video and give it a thumbs down.
Haha, thank you! I appreciate your support. :)
Happy you showed the real stuff. We teachers-clean our rooms, move furniture, buy our own supplies, take many days for set up and then take down & store at the end of school year, and it always takes more than one person! Teachers helping 👩🏫 👩🏫😊 Hope you are having a great year!
Yes! I wanted to be transparent in the whole process of setting up so that people could see how long it takes to set up a classroom :) I am so thankful for the help that I received from my friends and family. Thanks! I am having a great year so far. :)
Your kiddos are so blessed to have you!
You are so sweet! Thank you! I feel so blessed to have them, too
I really love this you seem so passionate which is something kids thrive off of when teacher act like the job is a burden the children notice so i like that you are visibly happy with doing this
New to your videos, I like them. However, when you add music it should be at the same or lower volume as you voice. I have to turn the volume up to hear you and then the music is so loud it hurts my ears.
Yes! So sorry about that. I just figured out how to adjust the volume (music down, talking up) - so it will be much better in all of my future videos. Thanks for your feedback and for sticking around! :)
@@PrimarilyYours Awesome, I'm definitely looking forward to more videos!
My mother homeschools me so were always looking for ways to make me a happy,cool,cute set up! So when I watched this I got inspired so we are thinking of doing some of things you did! Thank you for making this video! Stay happy!
I'm so glad you found some inspiration from what I shared! Thanks for watching! :)
Blown away you spent your own money and went to so much effort. Your students will be lucky to have you.
Thank you!
Your classroom looks so cute so far. It will all come together. I love it. I hope it stays this cute the whole year!
Thank you!
Me too, haha! :)
I really enjoyed this video and have to say that it's really refreshing to see you jump right in with set up and then simply do a brief recap instead of doing what so many others do: lengthy intros of what you WANT to do, video of you DOING it, and then telling us what you DID! We were able to just get to the good stuff right away...love it!
I'm so glad you love it! I really appreciate your feedback :) I hope you enjoy my future videos, too! I am working on my next one right now :)
@@PrimarilyYours Can't wait to see it! Blessings to you as the school year begins. You'll be a blessing to your kiddos for sure! ❤️
@@mugglemom9135 Thank you so much!
I still can’t get over how much US teachers have to buy for their classrooms (I’m from the uk)
Yeah, I was too at first. But I am willing to do it because it is important to me. :)
Love the video, only thing that threw me off was the out of order alphabet 😂😂😂 my organizational self went crazy
I know, it threw me off too! I left A, B, & C at home but wanted to make sure I started with the right spacing so that's why I started with the last 3 letters.
@@PrimarilyYours lol! I know now that I had watched day 2 😂 but that was smart to do.
@@azariahescalante7787 Did what I could with what I had!! :)
Just like I heard a add say teachers deserve more than thanks💕
I’m about to graduate high school to do my BA and then my BEd and I have never been more excited !!!
That's awesome, Lauren!! Keep going - it will all be so worth it when you become a teacher! :)
Awww, this looks like so much fun/work. I'm a Pre-K teacher. Your kids are gonna be so excited❤️
Yes to both fun & work, haha! :) Thank you!! I am really excited too.
I love teacher set-ups, it inspires me and gets me excited for the new school year. All that money spent on organization will be worth it! lol
Someone mentioned I should do a video on setting up my classroom which I think I'll do but I still have a few weeks before school starts.
I'm so glad that you are feeling inspired and excited! Yes, you are very right about the money spent on organization being well worth it for many years to come. It was an investment for sure!
I wish I was in your kindergarten class
Same
Looks great so far! Love the aqua color scheme! Can’t wait to see the room finished!!🤗💕
Thank you!! Me too! I wanted it to be bright and happy, but also calming :) I can't wait to share it with you! I made a lot of progress in the past few days I'm editing my next vlog now!
I think you’re gonna be one of my new favorites!! Can’t wait to see the rest 🤗
Oh my goodness you are the SWEETEST! I can't wait to share it with you!!
I love watching videos like this! I’m going into my first year of college to be a high school social studies teacher, so super different age group and setting, but your classroom is already inspiring me. Can’t wait to set up a room of my own one day
You're so sweet! Thank you! I loved watching classroom set-up videos while I was in college too. I'm so glad that mine has been an inspiration to you! Your room is going to be AWESOME when it's your time to shine!!
You're pretty incredible. Just being so excited and driven to provide for your class. My son is in Kindergarten, so I can really appreciate what teachers do. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. :)
Love all those bins! Pretty colors for your room.
Thank you!! If you can't tell, it's my favorite! ;)
I see others have commented about the bathroom concerns, my big one in there is that the large shelving unit needs to be anchored to that wall. When you least expect it, a curious body will inevitably climb that cool looking shelf and it will come crashing down with said curious body. Before you say “No way! It is too heavy” let me tell you that my own child pulled a twin sized loft bunk bed on top of her by goofing around hangin on it. I would have NEVER thought she would be strong enough to pull it on herself.....but kids have a way of doing things we grown ups never consider. Don’t underestimate the strength and decision making of curious kids. A bathroom would be a very dangerous place to have something like that happen. I see cracked heads on toilet, the tipped shelving unit blocking the entrance to get to the kid.....so many things.
Please don’t take any of this as me being negative toward your beautiful space. Your room is exquisite ❤️
Best wishes for your school year, you are adorable!
I don't take it negatively at all! I appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts and experiences with me.
I'm so glad you are liking my room and videos so far!
How much did you spend all together on your classroom stuff?
That's a great question - I honestly have no idea! I haven't taken time to add it all up yet. Let's just say I saved up from a lot of birthdays, Christmases, and paychecks! ;)
I'm loving all of that organization!
You and me both, girl!! :)
Just found your channel through puttingthemfirst (who I just found as well) and y’all are the cutest and I absolutely love both your channels. I teach first grade in Nova Scotia and love watching other teachers and get ideas for centres and classroom decor!! I can’t wait to watch more!!
Yay!!! We are both so glad to have you following along! Thanks for watching, friend!
As long as that shelf is anchored to the wall, that’s genius! Little people, alone in the bathroom will attempt on that shelf.
I originally planned to put it in there because my school does not have closets. Anchoring it is a great idea! Thanks for sharing! :)
I’m doing the teal in my homeschool room !!! You got great stuff .
It's the very best color!!
I have the exact shelving unit in my bathroom {I have very little classroom storage but a HUGE bathroom}. My custodian secured the shelf to the wall.
I can see the obsession with teal lol great first video.. can’t wait to see the rest of your setup!
Thanks so much!! I can't wait to share it with you! :)
What a great job! I'm sure you will be a great teacher 😃
Thanks! :)
WAHH!!
I LOVE MINT GREEN SO MUCH😭
WATCHING THIS IS SUCH A HEALING
Haha! I am so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :)
I love ❤️ mint green too
@@PrimarilyYours More vids about mint green please hahaha :>
This look amazing without even being done!
Thanks so much! I am really happy with how it turned out :)
Love your classroom!! Can’t wait to see the end result 🤩
Thanks!! I can't wait to share my finished set-up with you! :)
Wow! You're a first year teacher with all of that classroom stuff! I am a 16th yr teacher and I dont have half that. Kudos to you!
I was going to say
Yes - I've been working hard to collect things as I went along, buy stuff all along, and save up money! :) Thanks!
Just came across your channel and by the looks of things a lot of learning will take place. When I was in kindy (ages ago) we majored in block playing, shoe tying 101, story time, finger painting, and nap time. I was proficient in the latter. Times have changed. You've piqued my interest, lets see how things go. Take care.
Thanks! I am hopeful that a lot of learning will take place, too :) I wish all of those things were still staples in the kindergarten "curriculum." Yes, I wish we still had nap time too - the kids really need it! I've built in a 10 minute rest/cool-down time after our recess every day because I noticed that the kids really needed it.
Thanks for watching!
I can’t wait to see more videos from you☺️
Thank you!! :)
No problem
I love Aqua too!!!!
You look like such a nice teacher 😭 I wish they would help pay for more of your supplies I know it’s hard paying for all of that out of pocket
Aw, thanks! :)
I wish so too but I also know that if I want these things, then I have to invest my own money - which I'm okay with! :)
The day she did this was my birthday 😊
Aw, happy belated birthday! :)
I really love how u set up your classroom,thank a lot, I'm a class room teacher as well I really need help
Thank you!
You've got this!!! Hopefully I've shared a few helpful things you can use in your own room! :)
The kids who have this wonderful human being as their teacher are especially lucky, keep doing what you do, "Primarily Yours" although I don't know your real name, I'm sure you are a great person as a whole, and I hope you have a great day and a great future.
Her Name is maddie
You are so sweet, Mary! Thank you for your kind words. :)
Love how you guys messed up the alphabet 😂😂😂
I love aqua too idk why ppl say it’s a “boy color”but I ignore them cuz that’s the right thing to do
I think that aqua is a nice neutral color, which is one of the reasons why I picked it :)
I love your room!! But remember guys, if your classroom doesn’t look like this, it’s okay...
Absolutely! I've been preparing for this for several years... it didn't all come together overnight! :)
I love aqua too
It's the best color!!
Haha 😆 I love your addiction is a beautiful thing!
I think so too! ;)
i love it
Were did you found your teal bins with handles the medium size? Can you link where you got your stuff plz
I am working on my teaching certification now and plan to have it by next school year (2020). I would love to see a video on lesson planning for new teachers!
Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Can you make a video about the job seeking/interview process???
That's a great idea, thanks for the suggestion! I'll add it to my brainstorming list of future video ideas :)
I love aqua too!
It's the best! :)
Love it....
Me and my sis is going to be a teacher when we grow up!
Hi Maddie! Love your videos. With all of the online learning/teaching, I'm wondering how you edit your videos/music/intro etc. Thank you!!
Hi, Katie! Thanks so much for watching!
I edit everything in iMovie. I currently film on my iPhone 11, AirDrop the pictures to my MacBook, and edit them together in iMovie :)
You should do a video over all of your sterilite bins and how you use them in the classroom
Good idea! Thanks for the feedback. :) I use all of them daily!!
Love that color!
Did the school or your family/friends build those shelves in the bathroom? I’ve never been allowed to put supplies in the bathroom. Are you sure you want to put stuff in there? In my experience, my students always touched things they shouldn’t have when I had things in the bathroom. It was 2nd grade and I had extra soap and wipes in there, and the soap got everywhere. I also had toothpaste (for me) in a drawer and it ended up ALL OVER the bathroom.
Also, it's not safe as they have a tendency to climb unsupervised shelves.
I love this color too! I originally planned to put the shelves in the bathroom because my school doesn't have closets. But I have been thinking of some alternatives based on others' comments and suggestions :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
i’m maddie also! love this!❤️
Hi, Maddie! Thanks for watching! :)
Good setup , our carrier is not easy nowadays , Stay connected , Greetings from Egypt
Good luck and Happy Academic new year
OMG! Where did you get the cute chairs for your library from?!
Aren't they adorable??
Here is the link: smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LXS98ZQ/?coliid=I23XM8V5W1BOQN&colid=2PQ1O40GNA17Q&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
My fav color!😁😁😁😁
Mine too! 💙
Favorite color also!! New subbie friend here!
YES! Aqua is the best!! hahah
Awesome! Will you be a long-term substitute?
I love your vids!
Thanks so much, Amy! :)
Me as a kindergarten teacher .. In my country... I had to spend my own money ..little by little untill I can provide all the instructional materials, even tables, chairs, teacher table, all the stuffs I need in my classroom..
Your so lucky..😊😊
Even the tables and chairs? Wow! I am sorry that you had to buy all of those things yourself. You are right - little by little is the way to go! :)
Yes, turn the bins in the bathroom
Yes, they fit much better that way! :)
Where did you get the aqua bins? Love them!!!
They're all from Big Lots!! I got them when they had the 20% off Friends & Family sale a few weeks ago. But even without a sale, they are still a really good deal - and an investment I'll use for many years to come! :)
Love your video, Im a teacher too. You are so inspiring, but it hurts that teachers in the US have to use their own money to transform their classroom. Keep inspiring people, you surely make a difference.
I know, I agree - but I am willing to do it (and fully understand that it's my choice and is totally optional) because it's important to me & fun, too! :) Thanks so much!
I just graduated from college this summer and I cannot wait to get my job as a kindergarten teacher 👩🏻🏫👩🏻🎓💜
Congratulations on graduation!!
It will happen soon! :)
@@PrimarilyYours thank you 💫💖🥺
Omg my classroom is the same color and I accented with yellow sunflowers!!
I love that combo, Christine!! :)
Great!!!
Thank you! :)
Where did you get your book bins? I’m obsessed with the same color! I saw your video pop up and I HAD to come check it out! 😍
Hi! They are currently unavailable, but should be back in stock soon! Here is the link:

Hi ✋ I'm Kayla & I'm 20 & in a ♿️ & I live in 🇦🇺
I'm a new sub & I think your soo sweet & I'm liking your videos & can't wait to watch your journey 💖
Thanks so much, Kayla! :)
Will you post info for your Amazon classroom wishlist on your channel?
You're so kind to ask! Thank you :)

Loved your room. You are doing a great job. I am a little concerned with crayons and thing in the bathroom. With the door closed little hands may get into trouble.
Lori Moghadam the shelf in general makes me nervous- I’d feel better if it was anchored to the wall!
Lori, that was my concern too. Can you imagine the scene, that big thing lying on a tiny body, trapping him, blood everywhere because the kiddo also cracked their head on the hard surfaces in the bathroom. That thing is begging to be climbed, begging to fall over.
Thanks, Lori! I am glad you are loving it so far. I am definitely reconsidering the shelf in the bathroom based on everyone's comments. Thanks for sharing your concerns!
So pretty love it
Thanks... I do too! :)
I hope that this lady will have great students to deal with. Because now-a-days the world is changing where even the supposed to be sweet little angels, are now starting to think like grown ups ( by that I mean, cussing and fighting, being rude, etc.) It sucks, but there is still some hope in the world. Have a great day to whomever is reading this!
My students are the sweetest! They have such pure, thoughtful, joyful, and kind hearts. :)
@@PrimarilyYours That's great! It's good to hear that at least some children in the world are still pure :D We need more of that. I wish you luck with your teachings and hope you have an amazing day :D
@@thisisfine3180 Thanks so much! I hope you have a great day, too. :)
And this one of the reasons i want to be a teacher
It's the best! Hard, but so rewarding. :)
Your stuff is so cute girl!!
Thank you!! 💕
Your audio levels are a rollercoaster
I know - sorry about that! This was the first vlog I ever did and I didn't know about turning the volume up and down on certain clips yet. It's much better in all subsequent videos. Thanks for watching!
Hi! Where did you get your aqua sterilite bins? They’re so cute!
Lidia Barillas big lots had them!
They're all from Big Lots! :) I know, I love them too!!
Where did you get all the bins???
Where did you find all your aqua boxes and storage containers??
Big Lots last summer! :)
Go through the cabinets.
Is there a reason why teachers have to remove everything from their room each year?
I don't know about all schools, but we have to so that.... 1) the custodians can wax the floors, 2) things don't get faded from the sunlight :) It's a lot of work, but it's worth it!
Where did you find the mini bins in that color?
From Big Lots!!
This isn't the smallest size that you're referring to (I'm not seeing them on their website right now) but this is the next size up:
www.biglots.com/product/small-clear-storage-box-with-aqua-latch/p810193729?N=535560481&pos=1:2
I have a question.. okay so how much did you spend on all the school supplies. Also a average per year ?
Good question! I haven't really added everything up yet - but quite a lot, haha! It was all by choice - you can absolutely be a good teacher without buying all of these things :) My district gives us between $200-300 to spend on supplies each school year.
Good ! 😗😗😗
Hi, I am a primary school teacher in Great Britain. I have watched a few setting up class videos on You Tube. In the USA do you buy your own resources or does the school allocate a budget to each class teacher? Thanks
It depends where you are. My district provides a good budget for supplies, but we are also spread out throughout the county (I teach for the county, and we have rooms in different district buildings). However, many places do not provide nearly enough for their teachers for the year, and they end up spending a lot of money out of pocket for their classrooms. What's it like in the UK?
@@kristinchappell6677 Yes we get a budget but spend far too much of our own money too!
Great question! A little bit of both - we get about $250 to spend each year on non-consumable items (EX: we couldn't buy mini marshmallows to use for a science experiment because the kids will consume those). In the past, we've had to spend all of that money at Office Depot, but I heard this year that we'll be able to order from a list of websites with that money (including Lakeshore and Amazon!!). I've gotten some donations from family & friends through my Amazon Wishlist, but for the most part I've just been saving up my own money for about 3 years (including all of my birthday and Christmas money!) because I knew that starting out with my first classroom would be a big investment. But I'm trying to make wise purchases of things that will last for many years! :)
I had a doctors appointment yesterday
What state are you in? When do u start school? Will you be doing daily teacher vlogs?
I'm in Florida! We start school on August 12th :)
I hadn't planned to but would definitely consider it if people would be interested :) Is that something you'd like to see from me in the future?
I have a class room set up for the school year
My school is amazing, im in fifth grade and my teacher is so loving and kind. We have two big chairs, couch, bin and seats and a other couch. Not all classrooms are the same, there is one with only flexible seating and no desks and some just like mine. But all teachers put so much effort and time and money into they’re students
I'm glad to hear that your teacher is loving and kind, Sofia! Thanks for watching my video. :)
I'm sure your first year will be great! What state are you in and when do you start?
My guess is somewhere in Louisiana. I could be wrong though schools around me start later this week. Hope this helps.
@@Brittany.Anderson Yeah I just wonder where people are located.
Thanks so much! I'm in Florida, and we start on August 12th :)
@@PrimarilyYours No problem, one more week. I'm in Virginia and we still have a month before we go back!
@@AubreySmalls Wow! I'm jealous! When is your last day of school? Mine was June 5th!
I am a SPED Teacher in Texas, just a thought, you may need to take the shelf out of the bathroom ADA says handicapped Areas must remain accessible, even if you dont have an student needing that access right now. Maybe use a smaller one? I have a small cube shelf that holds extra supplies for the students like clothes, girl items, etc. And I have the same addiction with bins, mine are aqua and purple!
You are so right! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I appreciate it!
I love aqua and purple together - so pretty!!
How do you know what materials to get 🥺
So did you pay for most of this yourself? Or do have a classroom budget that pays it?
Yes, I did pay for most of it myself - I would say probably about 90% I've paid for myself. The other 10% came from friends & family members who bought items off of my Amazon wishlist. My district gives us $310 to spend on supplies during the school year. But all of these things I wanted/needed before school started so that I could get them set up - and if I ever move schools or districts, I own all of it and can take it with me :)
you might want to rethink putting crayons in a locked bathroom with kindergartens haha. that could be a disaster! but i love your class so far and admire the time, money, and effort you put into it!
Yes - a lot of people commented after I filmed & posted this video, so I did. Thank you! :)
Thanks so much!! :)
Where did you get that cute gray rug?
It's from Ross! I got it this summer for about $30 :) So worth it!!
