Hi friends—this video is my classroom tour for the 2025–2026 school year! I’m walking you through the general layout of my room as it’s set up right now, knowing full well it’s definitely going to change once I’m actually living in the space with kids. But if you’re in that “I just need a starting point” phase, this is exactly what I would’ve wanted to see when I was setting everything up. I share how I’m organizing my walls and routines with simple, pastel classroom decor—like my alphabet posters, schedule cards, hand signals, and an affirmation station. I also talk through the systems I’m using for labels (because I label everything) and how I’m setting up student supplies so it’s functional and easy to maintain. I also include a super cute “must do / may do” management display (yes, the ketchup/mustard/mayo/pickles one) to help keep expectations clear. If you’re an elementary teacher looking for classroom setup ideas that feel calm, organized, and realistic for the school year, this tour is my current game plan.
