Thank you so much for the detailed tour. Your ways inspire me everyday. Truly enjoyed watching it and even more planning to implement some of your ideas in my class. Thanks much, Greg! Kindergarten Teacher and fellow CZcamsr from Mumbai, India.
Yes is this a private school or something?? These videos are interesting but not realistic. He has an enormous room, about 9-10 kids, and an intern or para (some kind of help) constantly. Must be nice tbh. I have 23-25 kindergarteners with no help and a classroom that’s half the size in a very rough demographic.
Huh. This is so different from when I was in kindergarten ~20yrs ago. We had a huge standing duo sand box/water playbox, several easels, a small sight reading area with CDs/adjoining books, a shelf full of blocks, tables/chairs, a dress-up area, area rug, and a pillow-filled baby pool to relax/read books. We also had a closet full of carpet pieces for naptime. Not all kindergarten rooms had the same furniture/activities, but regardless it was all play-based. Wonder why things have changed. Common core? Or have they finally given up on that?
Yes, I love many of the techniques Greg uses in his class, hence I follow him. However I do Learning Through Play with my 5-7 year olds all day (I see small groups for academic work) and get quite saddened when I see schools teach such young students without providing play.
@@reddeer1758 Here in Ontario our Kindergarten classrooms are focused mostly on play based learning. It amazes me how different Kindergarten and Pre-K are in the USA.
@@MsBianca78 I teach kindergarten in Florida and we do have housekeeping, block area, rest time, recess, free play etc. It all depends on how knowledgeable and vocal your kindergarten department is.
THis is not our choice nor we do have control over this. These are district rules. In fact, we do as much as we can to bring fun and play into our classroom in spite of district rules.
Wonderful set up! Here’s to a wonderful year! You are inspiring🌟 I will be teaching TK for the first time. Can you tell me how you made your light box?
@@gregsmedley I have been following you I just thought maybe we didn't see the tables or chairs! I do agree that you have more of their attention when they're right there in front of you. I do a lot of teaching with them on the floor using a wipe off board as their desk!
We absolutely have an inclusive classroom library because we have an ethical and moral obligation to make sure every child sees themselves. We are proud of our library.

Hi, this is my first year as a kindergarten teacher. You are my inspiration and guide. Thanks so much!
Good Job Mr. Gregg!!! Thank you for the tip on the Kitfull&calm bags!!!
It is avery inviting area and a great learning area.
I also want to say I am very excited about using the ABC Bootcamp. it's my first year in Kindergarten:)
the story of how you began in kindergarten is one of my favourites. You are an inspiration.
Totally loving this classroom and how you organised it 🌈💕
Awesome setup 👏🏽💕
An ice maker?! WOW!
I’m so jealous of all your space! My K room is maybe 1/2 the size of your room!
Same. The layout of the room seems so much more kid friendly and functional.

Kindergarten is more structured now while still incorporating fun things . But these kids are also more advanced with technology etc
Kindergarten is not the same at all. We do not have naps, free play and we teach very advanced skills.
Your room is huge
So sad you don't have housekeeping or block area. They are so important for language development. Is this a district policy?

That would not be considered appropriate past PreK in FL. Those days are long gone.

I will be teaching TK for the first time. Can you tell me how you made your light box?
What is the purpose of your trampoline? How is it used?
Do you not have desks for the children or tables they always do their work on the floor?
We haven’t used tables or desks for 10 years!

I want all those books in my house lol, no chairs or desks at all this year?
Do you put up secret stories letters?
I couldn’t noticed: “Sparkle boy” and “pink is for Boys” who knows what other “beautiful” book to brainwash those little mind…, That why I homeschool
