I'm also heading into my 20th year teaching. I really loved watching at veteran teacher set up their room. I appreciate your honesty about the profession and about the frustrations of setting up the same room again 😂

I've been teaching for 3 years and have moved 3 times. I don't think people realize what it takes to set up a classroom, especially by yourself. I've had help thankfully, but I feel for you, especially with no air!

I love the simplicity of your classroom! It’s very clean! Love the black and white curtains with pops of color! Thank you for sharing and Happy 20th year of teaching!🎉

I agree with you wholeheartedly… Setting up a classroom is not easy! I am on my 45th year of teaching and it never seems to get easier lol but it’s always with worth it when you’re done… I teach in South Carolina also

Year 18 for me and for the 1st time ever I had help! It matters!

Here's hoping your year 20 is a blast!

Rachel I love your resources! I bought several this summer during your sale. Can’t wait to use this year.

Our custodians put everything back in place according to the pictures we attach to our bulletin boards when we leave for summer break! I an thankful we don't have to do all the heavy lifting most of you are doing!

Year #36 for me. The first thing I moved into my room today was a fan! You have a nice big room.

[heathercrivilare]

Woo hoo! Love a veteran teacher keeping it real! ❤ Our custodians take a picture of our room before we leave and put the big stuff back where we had it!

I remember in third grade l left my spelling book in my locker three days in a row and I got paddled for it back then in the 1970s.😊

[ilibertyi]

Ha!! Got you beat!! This is my 30th year!!!

[malissac]

Yay a veteran teacher! I am going into my 26th year😀

[piscesplanner]

Going into my 20th year as well! We aren't allowed back in the building yet. But im okay with that.

[caseys]

I am always blown away that some schools don’t have air in summer. Florida teachers would die😅😅year 20 & I have probably moved 24 times. It’s never easy!!!

Last year I was returning from a long maternity leave, to a new room, so set up a mishmash of the new room's supplies. This year class sizes are going up. I think it'll take pics after I set up, and in June. The pics will be so much better than my sad attempt to draw set up for janitors. Hubby gets drafted to help since my back doesn't allow me to lift much.

It’s so much work every —-single —year😫. And no a/c😢
