Hello, friends! Today I'm taking you into another part of my world - into my second grade classroom! Looking back it's fun to see how much I've accomplished since first walking in after summer construction. What do you think of the results? Please share with any teachers in your life looking for design ideas. 😊

My daughter is a 3rd grade teacher and I help her every year set up her classroom. It is soooo much work. Your classroom looks amazing 🤩 Thank you for being a teacher and for all you do 💕

[krysten]

I love what you did. My kids would have been in awe of a classroom like this. The details that you put in to every little section really show. It’s so wonderful to see a teacher putting that time in to their room for the students.

I'm not a fan of so many colors, but you have captured me with your creative designs. It is the loveliest classroom I have encountered. I love that you had so much autonomy, the district had our entire school painted a subtle mustard yellow/gold. If we painted our classrooms they would have a stroke! Despite that, you have given me so much inspiration for my classroom setup. Thank you. Be blessed.

Your room is amazing! Your students were very blessed to have you as a teacher.

[lisaadiff]

This is your passion for teaching, creativity, and happy energy in a room. So proud of you and your commitment to your students! ❤

I love how you named your tables after the Beatles and play their music. I'm going to copy this!

[richvenselyuwinganaden]

Great job teacher Lindsay. Such an amazing love and efforts of a teacher.

[jennypeter]

Thanks for sharing your classroom. So fun to see you in your role as a teacher. Your classroom is so inspiring. Wow!! That is a ton of work! Well Done!

[deewillson]

This is incredible!! Today was the first time I have ever setup my classroom. I am in awe of your classroom. Truly inspirational.

[londonharvey]

Wow, this was the most beautiful classroom set up video! I loved the way it was filmed and it turned out so good! Thanks for sharing your space!

[nikkilacroix]

SO beautiful! Probably my favorite classroom I've seen!

[GrowWithTheFlow]

Love it! From a fellow teacher and mom to a 2nd grader, 2nd grade is the best! Keep inspiring and be inspired. I love your organization. FAV PART: your 2nd grade photo at the door, that is the cutest idea!!

[lilibethlai]

You're an amazing teacher...love your passion ❤️. All the best. Take care and stay safe 🙏 ❤️

I wish I could read your "Class Charter." It looks meaningful and sets a great stage.

[bellahoward]

[tracyinnes]

I taught overseas for 25 years and then moved home which was on the other side of the world. It was an adventure.

[janicegtz]

Thank you so much for posting a classroom makeover video! I am pleasantly surprised to find out you're a teacher! I have been watching your design videos for a while now and as a kindergarten teacher myself, I screamed to see you uploaded a classroom video! 😄 I enjoyed it so much, I hope you can post more of these, even if it's just more classroom organization tips, I'm sure it'll still be relevant to even organizing a kids room. Thanks again! ♥️

[talkwithchristie]

Wow 🎉🎉🎉. I'm in Nigeria and I love, yes I love what you've done and so wish we could get a piece of your creative work here. Thank you, your work is awesome.
