 to another apples and tiara's vlog so I'm starting the vlog out in the car today because I just dropped cash off at my sister's hiking club and I'm gonna spend the day doing some shopping for school so I have two more weeks until I go back to work as a new to the district teacher so I have to go back to like meetings and trainings and all that stuff on the 24th of July so I have two weeks left and I'm gonna spend those two weeks spending time with family and working on the classroom because I want to have my classroom completely set up before the 24th that way when I start meetings I can really focus more on like all the other things and I'm gonna try to spend this next week on classroom try to get it done and then after that I want to do planning and prepping that way I'm completely ready for the first week of school and I'm like ready to go so what I'm doing today is I'm running to Hobby Lobby I have to pick up cash at 1 o'clock so I have to leave Hobby Lobby around 12 30 12 15 12 20 ish so I'm gonna go in there and what I'm looking for today is I need some more better than paper paper I think I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do it but I really want to do a ship lap feature wall on the back of my classroom wall if you guys have been watching you know that I have that like bulletin board wall on the back of my classroom and I'm I'm trying to like see if I really want to do it I might I might not but once I get there and see what they have we'll see how it goes but I also need to get like glue dots and tic-tac and like all the things that I'm gonna need to set up my classroom and then I just want to see if they have any like cute lamps or like any other fun classroom stuff I don't want to go in there and pick up like trinkets or like little decor pieces because they really just junk up the space but I'm thinking to like maybe some crates or like paper trays because I do want to have some more organization stuff so anyway I texted Jennifer to see if she was free if she wasn't busy I was like hey I'm going to Hobby Lobby I don't know what you're doing right now but I'm going so I don't know if you want to meet up there or what but we'll see she just text me back so I'll take a peek and then we'll see if she comes if she does great if not I will take you guys with me to show you what I'm gonna be looking at at Hobby Lobby and then the rest of this vlog is gonna be just a jumbo mix of classroom setup classroom haul like just all things classroom that I'm doing this week so I hope you guys are ready grab a snack grab a drink get comfortable and let's start this vlog out right right so I am currently in my classroom and I'm working on filming another classroom setup video but I wanted to do a haul of all the stuff I bought at Hobby Lobby Amazon and the dollar store for my classroom for this vlog all right so the first thing that I got was from the Dollar Tree and I just picked up these McCormick storage containers these are for glue sponges I got eight of them total I'm hoping to have seven groups and then one for myself so I did get eight of those okay so the very first thing I got from Hobby Lobby was this planner it's really cute I don't know the brand it doesn't really say but it's really cute and I thought I can always use a paper planner to keep at school so it's just this tie-dye and kind of like sparkly theme so I grabbed that I think it was like 14 bucks on sale and then I also got so my school is gonna be doing they do brag tags school-wide and class dojo as part of their incentive system so I grabbed this because I thought it would be an easy way to store bragged tags I don't know for sure if they'll fit in there if they do great if they don't I'll find something else to use it for maybe paper clips or you know other teacher supplies so anyway that was on sale for $14.99 so I grabbed that we'll see what I use it for I'm hoping that bragged tags will fit in there so the next thing I grabbed were these command hooks I'm planning on using these to hang up my lights around my whiteboard I always get these every time I move classrooms and they work really great you just stick them on the wall and then the lights kind of like click into them and it's perfect and then I grabbed some glue dots because I like to use these to hang up like paper around the room rather than using like holes like thumbtacks and then I grabbed this glue dot dispenser so you just reload these into here and then you can continue to use them I like using those for like paper posters and then I grabbed a cordless glue stick or sorry glue gun for obvious reasons I like to hot glue a lot of things up around the wall and stuff too and then obviously some glue sticks to go with that and then I grabbed some tiki-tack just another way to hang things up on the walls air fresheners for the car those ended up in my bag and then from hobby lobby I got some teal and black trim or border this you can like rip it apart and it becomes the thinner border I like putting this on top of other border or behind other border just to make it look layered so we'll see where I end up using this I don't know if I'll use it across the whole back wall or not we'll see but either way it was on sale so I grabbed it and then I got this fluffy pen I actually got like three of these I've been wanting a fluffy pen for like my planner or like for grading or like taking notes or whatever I think it's really fun and I wanted a fluffy pen so it's like a dollar I was gonna buy these on Amazon but they were like seven bucks for like three of them and I found them at Hobby Lobby for a dollar so grab that all right next is Amazon so I got one of these I don't even know what's called I don't even know what's called anymore a spaceball maybe but I got it as a breathing strategy tool or possibly like a talking chip for community circles the kids can fidget with it while they talk or if they need like a visual fidget I can have this available for them exhibit a do not drop it break it and then the next thing that I got from Amazon were these paper pom poms you guys have seen these in all my classrooms previously I just put them on the wall on my bulletin boards just to kind of jazz them up I'll probably put them on the corners of the windows the corners of the wall or the bulletin boards and then if I'm allowed to I will hang some from the ceiling that is what I've wanted to do with them for years I've wanted to hang them from the ceiling so we'll see if I'm allowed to do that I know I can hang the light magnet like covers up there so I'm guessing I can hang these as well it just probably just depends on how low they can be and I know there's no like motion alarm or sensor in these classrooms so I can hang this without like the wind or the air conditioning blowing it around and setting the alarm off so that's great and then another thing from Amazon these are like shoved in here that's so funny they are hard to open these are birthday hats do you want to see show you there's a little squished in here we grab those so I wanted to like mix up how I celebrate students birthdays in the classroom and I thought it would be really cute to get like a birthday hat for them to wear at school for the day and then they also came with matching glasses which I'll probably pop out the lenses and just make them like day glasses instead of sunglasses and they're just cute and fun and the lenses pop right out and then the kids can just wear they break really super cheap there's an opening so they'll wear this and then the hat to go with it when it's their birthday I thought that'd be really cute I don't usually do much for birthdays and I thought what is something I could do for everyone's birthday that's not gonna cost me any money or like is very low effort like so I got two they came in a pack of two white and blue and then pink here let's try it on you oh way too big on you luckily my fourth graders heads are a bit bigger but yeah so I got those and then I also ordered some chalk paint this is just like the Rustoleum brand chalkboard paint because I do need to touch up my cabinet hopefully this works if it doesn't we will see I think my teammate might be able to let me know what paint was used on these so I'm crossing my fingers that this will actually work on my cabinets if it does not match I could just buy a couple more cans of this and I could probably just cover them so we'll see yeah there you go do it in front of the camera and then this is like my new favorite thing can you grab that baby there's a neon sign and I contemplated like getting my own name in the neon sign or just getting like a fun phrase so I ended up getting good vibes only and it looks like you can like stick it to the wall it comes with these these things but I'll probably end up just hanging it somewhere else but it does plug in USB and I don't know where I'm gonna put it yet possibly over my desk somewhere like over there in the corner but it does light up in pink neon so I thought that would be really cute for my classroom this year and then what is this I don't even remember oh okay this isn't really like there you go good giving it a trial run so with my new computer it's okay put it in your ear there you go with my new district computer my old keyboard actually ended up breaking so I ordered a new one and I really like these they're super nice for like if you're carrying your computer around and you don't want to like type on it or you know whatever you want to have it propped up it's just a basic like Bluetooth anyway it came with a keyboard and I believe this lights up and then it came with a matching mouse so I'll be using this with my new district computer okay do a dance in front of it at least I ordered these really cute canvas posters from Amazon sorry I'm kind of like just put them in the box so I grabbed these they're these cute little canvas posters and they're all science science is in your DNA think like a proton always positive ask imagine plan create test improve nothing is impossible so I ended up grabbing some frames for them from hobby lobby and I tried to find them on sale and they ended up being like 50% off I think which was great so let's see if they fit in here so the frames ended up fitting perfectly which is great so I'll probably hang these up around the room somewhere I just think they're really cute and very like sciency and they needed something like bright that kind of fit my like classroom vibe and so the frames were 50% off so I did grab four of them one for each of the pictures and then the final thing that I got from Amazon was this adorable rug it's like almost like velvety and I'm planning on putting this upfront in front of the TV just on the floor as a space for kids to sit on and so it's like he's fine it's like I think it's like non-slip here and it's pretty thick I'm probably gonna end up having to spot clean it because their shoes will be all over it but it is what it is I just thought it was really cute and it totally matches like the vibe of my classroom with the pinks and the blues and the oranges and so anyway I got that off of Amazon too
