In this video, I’m taking you through a little bit of everything
— a thrift store haul for my Montessori classroom,
how I’m setting up new works and spaces for the children,
and some honest reflections from behind the scenes of teaching.
From baskets and pouring work to calming corners and library refreshes, this is what it really looks like to build a classroom week by week — often out of your own pocket, with intention behind every detail.
I also share a glimpse into life outside the classroom… preparing for conferences, finding small moments of rest, and the role reading plays in helping me stay grounded during a demanding season. If you’re a teacher building something from the ground up — you’re not alone.

Are you needing some support with how to structure your classroom? As a Montessori teacher, I understand that feeling of overwhelm! I have created a detailed lesson plan to 'hold your hand' through each day. These lesson plans can either be used to jump start how to create the rhythm of the classroom (monthly) or I have a full year plan that can then be used for a 3 year cycle.
