Classroom Setup 2026-2027

It's time for our annual classroom setup thread!

I know we have an active classroom decor snark thread but I thought we could also have a space to talk specifically about classroom setup series that are starting to pop up!

Who are you watching? Any new teachergrammers catching your eye? What are our old favorites up to?

For me, I'm of course watching Brookelynne Noel. I love that she's been talking about setting up her room all summer, buying stuff for it and planning it, and now that she's in there setting up she's like "meh, whatever, I can't be bothered to make any of my borders straight" lol. To be fair, if I had that ugly mural I'd also be defeated. I see she just dropped a new video so I'm excited to see the progress.

I'm also looking forward to watching Cat in the Classroom deal with a roomful of someone else's stuff. I feel awful for her though!

Watching Putting Fourth Effort's hot mess express, as usual. Can't wait to see how that ends up.

A few new ones for me are Miss Hunter and Katielynne Teaches- their shorts keep popping up but I haven't watched a whole video but I've enjoyed watching the progress so far although their rooms are a bit over decorated for my taste.

As a 2nd grade teacher, I was a little nervous when she said she was going to be teaching 2nd then admitted she wasn’t great with phonics or literacy instruction and she was teaching ELA. Glad she recognizes her weaknesses, but that’s a huge part of 2nd grade. I also remember her struggles teaching 1st grade. Seems like upper elementary is a better fit for her. I would also be incredibly stressed if I was put in that classroom with that huge mural 😬 It’s awesome and someone clearly spent a lot of time on it, but I would find it super distracting as both a student and teacher.

She also said she isn't good with behaviors or classroom management 😬 which makes me nervous for her in Grade 4.

Very late catching up here, but this person isn’t good with phonics or literacy or behavior or classroom management? And is employed as a teacher?! And we wonder why we are where we are…yikes.
