It’s classroom setup time, and in part 6 of my CLASSROOM SETUP 2025 series, I’m wrapping up the big pieces that make the room feel like an actual third grade classroom—room layout decisions, a classroom haul, and that final “we did it!” feeling when things start coming together. I’m a 3rd grade teacher in Florida, and I’m sharing the real behind-the-scenes of getting my space ready for the first day, step-by-step, the same way I do in my week-in-my-life teacher vlogs. In this video, I’m focusing on making the layout functional (because if it doesn’t work day-to-day, it doesn’t matter how cute it is). I also share items I’m bringing into the room and where I’m grabbing classroom finds—like my Amazon Wishlist and Amazon Storefront—so you can easily shop what I’m using. If you’re setting up your own classroom, my biggest takeaway is to keep routines and flow in mind first, then add the fun details after. This is the part of setup where it finally starts to feel finished, and I’m so excited for the year ahead.
