Hey internet friends—welcome to my first week back weekly vlog for the 2025–2026 school year in my 1st grade classroom. This week is all about getting back into the groove: the real teacher-life pace, the little routines that make the day run smoother, and the behind-the-scenes moments you don’t always see. If you love classroom vlogs and decor, you’re in the right place, because I’m sharing what it actually looks like to kick off a new year with kids, a busy schedule, and all the moving parts. I’m also chatting through the practical stuff I lean on to keep things organized and stocked—like my classroom wishlist and my library book wishlist—because those everyday items and books truly make a difference all year long. And if you’re a teacher (or teacher-to-be) who likes grabbing ready-to-use resources, I’m linking my Teachers Pay Teachers store plus my Amazon storefront so you can find what I’m using. Basically: come spend the week with me, get some ideas, and settle in…because I promise you’re gonna love it here.
