Your friend's room is amazing. Can we have another tour of her class when she is done? I'm setting mine up next week :)

[veefrancis]

I am glad you are vlogging again. I can't wait to see your room when it is done. I’m also eager to see Kaitlyn’s classroom once it’s finished.

Your back room is my basement office right now. My SPED "classroom" is a small office space w no storage. Send good vibes.

What is the name of the music you use in your intro - my toddler loves to dance to it!😂🥰

Hi, I noticed that your new math curriculum is i-Ready. I have been using it for the past 4 years. I have mixed feelings about it. I love the online component except for the diagnostic. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are after you've used it for a little while. Have a great school year. Your room looks great.

[dianaguzman]

Loving these videos! I’m from Chicago and teach 4th!

Can you ask your friend where her headphones are holder came from?!

I might be wrong, but I don’t think HP will allow you to print using store bought ink.

[courtneyhall]

Are you teaching from the front of the room or the back where your stage is? If you haven’t thought about it you might want to turn your group of six desks sideways so that students don’t have their back to you if you teach from either the front or back of the room.

I just got HP insta ink! Does it really take 10 business days for ink to come?

So I love this youtube channel. But the comment "Dont talk while I am talking" I get it is her video, but it was her friends classroom. Her friend was very excited to show her all things that she did and without permission for the video. If someone came to my classroom with a camera, and I was excited to show them everything, I think the person with the camera would let me talk about my room instead them trying to talk about room. But to each their own. I want to hear ideas from the bestie about her room instead of someone bringing in their camera and them telling her to "stop talking" so the person with the camera can show off someone elses work. I used to work with preschoolers and when the preschoolers were showing me their work, I just listened I did not control the narrative, but I listened to them telling me about their work. I did however show respect to the preschooler showing off their work by letting them tell them about it.
