 Friends, happy Friday. Today is Friday, September 20th. And I wanted to start today's vlog here on Friday because I have so much more time to talk to you and make an intro to this video. So if you guys are new here, welcome to Apple's NTRs. My name is Charlotte, and I'm a third grade teacher in the Phoenix area of Arizona. So I just walked in the door, and it's Friday, so it's Jean Day, whoop whoop. And then I have on my favorite T-shirt from Lipstick and Little's. This is like the first one I ever got. So it's my favorite. Also Friday is Starbucks Day. So I always drive through, and whenever I wear this shirt, they just love it. So, okay, so the reason that I'm starting this week's vlog here on Friday, I did film a ton of stuff throughout the week. So I just wanted to open today's vlog here on Friday. And then I'm gonna cut in a few seconds to what I filmed throughout the rest of the week. Okay, so one thing I wanted to mention to you guys, I got these new lap desks. They're by Hulsey on Amazon. They also have an Instagram. I will put it right here in the video. But I got these new lap desks because I have these plastic ones. And you can get these at like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, pretty much anywhere. But they're really flimsy and they break. But these, you guys, are awesome. They're made out of wood. It looks like they're maybe handmade. They come with like this little edge here. So if you're wanting to work, you know, upright your stuff wouldn't fall. And they have this really cute engraving here with the H. They have this little feature, which is where you can like put an iPad prop it up, put a utensil if you wanted to. And then the cool part is that they have this detachable cushion. So it's actually attached with Velcro. And then it gets held on right there. I mean, you don't have to have that little thing on there, but you can carry it around. And so I got two of them. And they come in different colors. And then this also comes with like a little pencil loop. But you guys, these are such good quality. And actually, Hulsey is gonna be doing a giveaway on his Instagram. So I'm going to post all of that information down in the description box. But they're gonna be giving away a free lap desk to one of you guys. So I will post all of that information right down in the description box. It will be via their Instagram. But you guys, these do, they are on Amazon. So I will also link them on Amazon down below as well. All right guys, so this is the part of the video where I'm going to now skip ahead, or I guess skip backwards, to what I filmed throughout the week. Class class? Yeah, yeah! Hey guys, so today we're playing a community, a community builder game. And we're playing it via musical chairs. So what we do is we split the class in half. So we have 11 and 11. There's 11 students in the middle, and they make the inner circle. Can the inner circle wave for me? Hi, inner circle. And then the other 11 students make the outer circle. Outer circle wave. Hi. Notice how they have left enough space in between their groups so that they can walk around. This side has a little bit less space, but it's going to be fun. So what happens is I will play some music. I'm going to play some music and the kids will rotate around. Once the music stops, they find a seat and whoever they're sitting directly across from is their partner. Then they read this little pink card which came from Get Your Teach On. It was like one of the little community builders. They ask each other their question. They answer their question and then they sit down when they're done talking. Then we do a couple rounds. Do you guys want to show them? We're with our first partner. Go ahead and stand up. You guys can talk. What part of the school challenges you most of that's like what's the hardest part? Beth because I just chased a kid to the bus because I was handing out progress reports and she left and I needed to get home to her so so anyway it was a super long day but I wanted to just pick you guys up and just say that as far as vlogs go I think I might take a pause on school vlogs for a little bit just because I feel like while I'm at work I'm just kind of like running around crazy trying to get things done and I don't feel like I'm in like the swing of things or in a routine yet just because like certain things are like I have like all these extra random meetings and like just other things coming up at school so while I'm here I just need to really concentrate on what I'm doing and picking up the camera I just don't have time I'm not thinking about it so when I come up with something really cool that I want to show you guys I will pick up the camera and show you like I showed the other day our little inside-outside circle musical chairs activity that was really fun but I think I'm gonna just skip on vlogging for a while and right rather just have like one thing that I show you guys I will catch up with you guys next week thank you so much for watching and for being here if you're not already go ahead and subscribe that way you can see all of the fun that's happening over here if you're not following me on Instagram already go ahead and do that because if I'm not vlogging as much I will probably be updating there just because it's faster if there's anything I want to share and thank you guys for being here so much I really appreciate you
