CLASSROOM MAKEOVER + TOUR | 2021-2022 MIDDLE SCHOOL ELA CLASSROOM REVEAL

Hey mamas! I’m so excited to share my classroom makeover with you!

Tell me what you think!

✨New here? Introduce yourself in the comments!

I’ll go first:
I’m Christina, a public high school English teacher, turned homeschooling mom, turned middle school English teacher at a small Christian school. I’m hybrid homeschooling + Christian-schooling 5 kids (ages 1, 2, 6, 10, & 13).

I love the Charlotte Mason homeschooling approach, and many others, but I’d say I’m more of an eclectic homeschooler—mixing the different aspects of homeschool styles that I love—living books, literature-based learning, Montessori, and so much more!

Just as I brought what I learned through teaching into homeschooling, I am so excited to bring what I’ve learned homeschooling back into teaching!

Whether you are considering homeschooling, new to homeschooling, considering alternative ways to educate your child, or just looking for some encouragement and inspiration for your motherhood journey, I hope you feel welcome and encouraged here 🤍

As a special education teacher, I have to say this is BY FAR one of the BEST classroom designs I've ever seen! It's clean, fresh, simple, and inviting. So many teachers want these WAY over the top decor ideas, and it's honestly TOO MUCH for a lot of our kids, especially our kids on the spectrum. I'm a public school teacher, but I wish I could have all the Bible quote signs in my classroom. God's blessings to you and your students this year!

People do not realize how much thought and effort go into creating a welcoming learning environment for students.
I hope your students are blessed by your gracious efforts. God bless you!

Nice! Very inspiring. Your classroom is bright and fresh and welcoming.

If my kids ever went to school I would want them to have you for a teacher! You can just tell how much love you have in your heart for teaching... your classroom looks awesome. Love everything ❤

I love how simple it is. It has personality and is beautiful, but nothing is overwhelming. Love it!

Good day. Thank you for this video. You can see the enormity of your work. The classroom looks beautiful. I am a geography teacher from Poland. I wish my room was so beautiful too. Thank you for your inspiration.

That's pretty cool that you were able to take the tables and chairs from your old school. I've never heard of teachers being able to do that and customize their classroom all the way to the tables and chairs. That's really awesome.

[samanthawoods]

I love that you're able to use some of the stuff you bought for homeschooling!!

[MM-tefu]

Really love your signs and all your plants in your room.

[StaceyYoder]

Your room looks so inviting! Love how your husband seemed happy to help out. Your so good at decorating.

[JustMakinItWork]

Your hubby is the best! How fun to do this TOGETHER!

[daisymancuso]

This classroom was so lovely and homey. I would want to go to school and come to class there.

I was just looking at some baskets at WM and though the SAME thing!! Love those reading lights!

[jolenethornton]

You have such an eye for decorating! I love your classroom. It is beautiful and so inviting, but also looks very functional.

[alyssapraiswater]

My husband is a teacher, so I have helped him clean/paint/organize multiple classrooms over the years. Such a big task but always so rewarding! It looks great! Love that you stuck with a neutral color scheme which makes decorating for holidays or updating with different trends so easy. Now that hubs put all that effort into helping you, are you going to help him get his office/P.E. supplies organized?

[peacehappiness]

This is the best classroom I’ve ever seen. It’s so inviting!! You and your husband did an amazing job!

Could you please do a video of how you breakdown your hours for NY state requirement? I did see in one of your videos you mentioned it but didn’t really elaborate on it. This is my first year homeschooling. And I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I am so grateful to have found your channel because your videos are extremely helpful.

[HerDailyJourney]

You are so beyond creative and talented. You did amazing! And your husband did such a great job helping you.

[kateofikuru]

Hi! Loved this! Where did you get your book bins?

[stephaniejones]

I love it, so homey and I know the students will be ready to learn, oh I love your reading books you are highlighting, gives me some great ideas. Would love to see the other books you highlight along the year
