 today we will probably transition into prepping for the first few weeks of school and what goes on during all of that process. I'm going to try to document it. I always say I'm going to and then I don't, but I really want to show you guys what I'm making and what like thoughts go into all of the preparations for the first couple weeks of school. So if you are ready for the last classroom setup video for this school year go ahead and hit that thumbs up. Let me know if you guys are liking these. I can tell you are because they're doing really well so thank you guys. So today is Tuesday the 18th of July and I have quite a load with me. I have some plants. I'm gonna take some of my house plants that were in my house in Queen Creek that were kind of like just shoved in the corner at my mom's place. I'm taking them to school because A her kitchen is full of plants and B plants are great so of course I'm gonna take some to school. Hopefully they do okay. They're probably gonna be in shock for a bit but there's lots of good sun coming through my windows and light so we should be okay. What else? Oh I have a ton of notebooks in the back that I picked up from Walmart a couple of days ago. Unfortunately my composition notebooks did not get put on my like supply list for families to grab so instead of like begging them to buy them after the school year starts I just went out in bottom because they're like 50 cents each ended up costing me like I don't know 45 50 bucks to buy 90 notebooks they were pretty cheap so I ended up just buying them myself and then you know I can later down the road if we need other supplies I can ask for that but I just felt like most families go out like I did I as soon as I got the list I went out and bought it and you know it would be kind of inconvenient to have to like go back and get like one more thing so anyway I just went ahead and bought them plus now I know every single kid will have one and I can pre-label them with like colored duct tape because that's what I'm planning on doing. I want to do a whole video on like like management systems in the classroom like how I do like bathroom check out how I do like notebook storage how I do like supplies and stuff like that just for like like class it's I mean it's technically classroom setup you know but it's not like I don't know it's more like management systems so anyway that's the plan so I'm drinking a spiced chai tea with some cream in it it's very delicious it's like on the verge of being cold now so like I could probably get to school and put some ice in it my teammate has an ice machine which I told her I was like yeah it was a mistake because I'm probably gonna use that a lot and she's like that's fine so anyway let's get to school and we'll get this vlog started okay the three plans have found their home this is pink princess and we have Charlie and then I don't know what this one's name is over here I don't know what we'd call it but she is happy this is all the plants I'm gonna bring for now if they do well then I'll bring some more like I really want to bring a pathos or pathos to put either up here on this side or over there I think it would be cool to put on that one because that one's kind of like I think only two more bins go up there yeah one and two go up there so maybe another plant up there potentially one that hangs from the ceiling because I can hang things from the ceiling in fact that's part of what I'm gonna do today I need to hang these palms from the ceiling I think I'm gonna hang all of them depends I might throw a couple more palms like up and around like I might do a couple more palms like one there maybe on the corners of the windows I don't know yet and I think what I am gonna do is leave that blank up there and put my white clock right here in the center of this wall and then everything else I'm gonna just put away for now because I'm not gonna use it and then I'm gonna just start clearing tables today like that is my main goal is to clear the tables again and then I should be done and all I'll have to do is like figure out what's gonna go on on either of the two walls because like I said I wanted to start the year more simple and not go to bulletin board crazy because realistically the kids don't use them so I just want to be as minimal as possible you know that way there's not too much going on I really like the way that my room like aside from all the junk that's out like I really like how it's not overdone and cluttered like I'm leaving this whole back counter completely empty and I'm gonna use it for labs and I think for the first couple days of school I'm gonna put all the student supplies on it so that I can sort that and then put it away like this is empty don't know what I'm gonna put in there we'll see that's probably not gonna stay there I'll probably put my globe up because I have a like picture on this side so I could totally put the globe on that side so yeah we're gonna get things done but first of all I have to take a picture for my ID badge so I'm gonna do that real quick I think I'm gonna set myself in front of this board because it's like empty either that one or this one and I'm just gonna take a headshot and then I have to email that over to district so that they can make my ID badge so I'm gonna do that real quick and then I'm just gonna start putting stuff away aside from like the little things I mentioned I do need to finish hammering these and I forgot the hammer so these are gonna have to wait these two bins I did get the nails in the right spot I just can't get them all the way in the wall so I have to hammer them but yeah and then I have all these notebooks that I'm going to sort out and label and then put them in notebook storage and so yeah I also have to store folders so I might have to pull out more book bins which is fine or I thought about this too I could use one black and one colored for each class put the folders in the colored bin and then all the notebooks should fit in the big black bin so I'm gonna try it I'm gonna try a couple different things because I don't want to take up this whole counter with notebooks if it ends up looking that way I could potentially move all of these back to that counter and store them back there so they're not completely taking up the whole counter space but we'll see I might even split it up by class I could put one class here one class there one class there and then it's more split up and it's really not taking up space so anyway I'm gonna do my picture and then I will decide what I'm gonna do next alright so I've cleared off this table I'm trying to think of what else I've done since I checked in with you guys I had this bin full of like other random decor stuff so what I'm trying to do is like clear it and just put my little knickknacks places like this really cool fossil just like random stuff that goes around I need to find a place for all my little like trinkets if I'm even gonna put them out I did hide one up here I thought it was really cute I'll see if anybody notices it it's just a little grogu you can barely see him oh I also hung this plant greenery thing and then I also put my clock up there which it doesn't look like it's working does it that sucks I'll have to fix that but anyways I like how this turned out it looks really cute and then yeah you can barely see him just right there let's see what else did I do yeah just like little random things I did do a bunch of like paperwork stuff for district so I was working on that I hung this thing so my plan for the whiteboard is I'm going to put look at what we're learning up here and then below it I'm gonna have a space for learning target and standard and then I might have a space for like their end goal or something like that like like with their end learning target like their overall learning target and then that way I can like they can always see like what their end goal is and then then this space will kind of be like just used for blank whatever and then this is like not coming off I don't know what I'm gonna do I really wanted to put my schedule over here so I had an idea but I wanted to like talk it out first I wonder if I could use some of this paper and like tiki-tack it on border it and like make it like another bullets and board and it would be simply a bullet and board for like schedules I could use magnetic like I could put the supplies they need for the day there because I have all of that magnetized so it could be like a magnetic board what do you guys think about that instead of like power struggling to get that off I would just have to make it like cut off right here and then this little section of the board would be for like other stuff like concept models if I need to draw anything or write anything or whatever because this board is gonna be the one I'm like referencing a lot so yeah I was thinking about that like schedule stuff announcements they're also dry race the whiteboards are the bulls more papers dry erase so I could write on it and then that way like the schedule or the date would be like hovering over the top of it oh no I'm gonna think about it I might do it just because I don't want to hassle with this like stuff because I planned on making new schedule cards and magnetizing them so yeah I also put that rainbow up there my neon rainbow I was kind of struggling with where to put it I don't know they'll stay there I might scooch it maybe over the top of here I also need to make the the word because and I actually thought about putting it like right here in the center since there's nothing there and then put like some kind of like bit moji of myself like pointing to it then it would be because I always like to have the word because and that's it I think that I've done so far so feel bad I haven't like filmed myself but I've been like kind of bouncing back and forth from like my computer to like putzing around but I'm gonna put my music on I'm gonna actually get to work so yeah because I'm getting down to the point where I don't have much left a little wall together over here just for my stuff and then what else did I do I don't think I did much else oh I ended up doing the book bins with the notebooks I put them all in there so the big book bins fit 30 but they're really squished and I just feel like once they're full of paper they're not gonna fit so I ended up putting two book bins next to one big one and that should be able to at least fit all the book or the notebooks and then one of the little book bins will fit all of the folders so all their folders and notebooks will be stored right there and then I put two extra ones for my intervention block which is called win and that is when they do like intervention and then I also need a space to store their writing folders so I don't know this might end up being like the entire counter or like I said I might just move it back here because this counter space is totally empty and I feel like this counter could be used for so much more so I might move it over there we'll see but for now I'm just gonna sit here watch the office and floof all of these floofies all right so I did decide to go ahead and move the notebook storage off of this countertop because I just feel like it's too good of a space to take up all that stuff and ended up moving them over here this is where they're gonna stay for now potentially what could end up happening is I shift them all down to one side and then that way I have a space left over for stations but yeah it's looking like you guys should know by now that because I'm so OCD that this whole business is driving me crazy but I'm just gonna leave it because I don't really have any other choices as far as like what to put on here and just kind of trying to utilize the space as best I can but as you can see things are clearing up I have one table left that has project stuff on it and then I'm gonna start like loading up Cricut stuff and laminating in a little bit probably not today but I'm gonna use that table as a laminating Cricut space I don't know what I'm gonna do with this not really sure I just tuck it away until I need it like I like to use it for the curriculum night and like meet the teacher and stuff so I'll probably just maybe tuck it over here against the wall here it's nice and out of the way yeah that's perfect because I'll probably hardly ever use this paper but it is nice to have it and then the vacuum will be good I think I'm gonna hang this mirror centered on this wall and put some words around it we'll see what words I still need to clear this off this is all like the paint stuff so I'll probably do that today but right now I'm gonna put all the hardware back on the cabinets so and then yeah all the other tables are cleared off and ready to put supplies in them this one I don't really know what's gonna happen with it I don't know if they're gonna replace it or if they're gonna fix it or what I am meeting with my principal Friday so I will ask him about it and then yeah that's it's pretty much done I mean aside from like the fine tuning like you know the words and the bolts and boards being done it's pretty much done this turned out really good it's nice because it is a magnet so I can just put magnets up there which I really like I might even put these up there but yeah I just need to clean a couple things I'm gonna keep the ladder here and the dolly I can probably take home and then this cart is gonna be for lunches so it will be parked right here this backpack I'll probably just keep behind the door and the event and then my door can always just be open that far so yeah lunch cart here trash cans I have a lot of them which is probably good but I just don't know where to put them all so I'm just gonna put them there for now so yeah this is what it's looking like I'm very excited I love the ceiling bits they're like part of my favorite I actually really want to get like three of these and just use them for folders and notebooks but for now it's fine that will serve its purpose and then this one is gonna be for my wind group which is my intervention class they'll have I'll probably have to get them but they'll have file folders with stuff in them and then I do need to put construction paper in here to make it look like it's actually serving a purpose and that's it I mean as far as like organization and putting everything where it goes it's gonna look better when the ladder's not here probably move it yep much as done as it possibly can be without all the fine touches so I'm gonna do a quick 360 so you guys can see everything that table is the only one with stuff left on it like I said that map is probably not going to stay there in that spot it is 152 I'm gonna stay until three so I've got another hour so I'm just gonna take the trash out and then I'm gonna sit down at my computer and start working on some planning stuff so I hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog stay tuned for the last classroom setup video which will be the next one don't forget to follow me on all my socials Instagram tiktok and I'll see you guys in the next video bye guys
