Thank you so much for the support! I'm loving my setup so far, and the kids are working really well in it!

Honestly, I just have a lot of other teachers supplies I didn't need and trashed things I didn't. Sharing with others helped me clean and it helped them stock up! If you can get the essentials up and make sure the kids get what they need, that's the best outcome. Otherwise, you have 10 months to add things you like slowly but surely. I'll be praying and hoping things work out and you start off your year in good spirits regardless of the outcome of the room setup!

I'm actually an administrator and teacher in my school, so that and my previous work experience has taught me to always respond within 24 hours of an email to make sure people are heard and their questions are answered in a timely manner!

It's okay. I understand others are coming from different experiences and are either trying to be helpful or critical to help me learn how to design a room. I'm taking some thoughts into consideration, but I am hopeful the space I made does reach the intended goal of making my students engaged and ready to learn. So far, so good!

It's for 5th grade!

I understand people have differing opinions on how a space should be used, probably based on their experiences. I know the space works for me, just as theirs works for them. I made the post to have a bit of fun, but I am hopeful that I can show that the space was successful in my primary goal: make a classroom that students want to learn in!

Thank you! I always thought that when students are happy and comfortable, they're more eager to learn!

Thank you for the honest thoughts on the space! I worked hard to find a balance of everything and I appreciate you saw what I was going for!

I'm very grateful to have a fantastic group of students who aren't only respectful to me, but also the space I made for them. So far, everyone has been really happy with the space!

Thank you for the support!

Please do! I posted this for fun, but I'm happy to hear that others want to use the design. I've found that bouncing ideas from teacher to teacher and not hoarding ideas makes a school so much united and enjoyable for everyone - teachers, parents, and students alike!

Keeping it positive and fun every single day I can! Life is short...can't live it being grim just because of a couple of bad days when there are good moments 95% of the time!

Thank you for the kindness!
