 Good morning friends welcome back to another Vlog today is gonna be another classroom setup video day four. I believe I did hang two bulletin boards yesterday Just in between like meetings and stuff I do have one more meeting today, and then I'm planning on finishing up bulletin board walls I'm probably not gonna put things up on the wall very like very many things up on the wall Just because I'm waiting for some card stock to come in the mail so that I can cut out words Anyway, I'm in the Starbucks line and Then I'm gonna go into Walmart real quick. It's 750. I don't have a meeting until 9 So I'm gonna try and run into Walmart really quickly a couple things I need to get extension cords two of them one black crate I need to get some command hooks, and then I also need to get I want to get a new sensei like Wax warmer and some smells So that is everything on my Walmart list. I think I'll have to check again, but Everything is so close now and so convenient. It's just really really nice The Starbucks is like five minute drive and then Walmart's right next to it. So if I need anything, it's just super nice So I opened up what I thought was gonna be a breakfast burrito It's a sandwich, but I'll eat it. It's still yummy Okay, you guys I just ran up the stairs. So Walmart did not have the black crate that I needed So I think I ordered the right one from Target, and it's gonna be available for pickup. So I'll pick it up later today What else did I get at Walmart? I? Got a new sensei warmer My favorite thing About my classroom is the smells in here. I got a new warmer. This one's really cute. It's like Kind of bohemian-looking. This one's gonna be over here on my desk. I have another one across the room And then I got a few extension cords I got two six foot and one 12 foot and then I got a bunch of sense these the better homes and gardens ones are literally the best and then Conditioner, but it's not for here So I have about 30 minutes until my meeting starts So I'm gonna go wash my hands eat my breakfast and then I think I'm gonna take all of the stools down off of the Desks put them under the desks so that when I show you guys stuff The stools are not like in the way because I just realized like as I look around the room I can't really see everything and that's just simply because there's stools up So I'm gonna do that and then I will check in with you guys about the game plan Okay, so let me give you a quick progress update So this bulletin board was hung yesterday This board is going to be my science and social studies board. So I will probably put anchor charts maps posters whatever here and then I Did purchase a Tablecloth for this tablecloth or for this table for this tablecloth. It should be here today or tomorrow It's on coming from Amazon. I also hung this board and I'm not sure how I like it because so I ran out of Border or sorry paper And I didn't have enough to cover the whole board. So that maybe I could do like a border situation This is probably going to be like my information station So I'm thinking I'll probably put like some bitmojis with speech bubbles on the black Put a calendar and then basically like scholastic book order stuff Announcements things like that on this board Sorry, I just bumped with the camera just because it's like right up front and these are my turn-in bins as of now So, yeah, that's the progress Today I'm gonna do this wall. I'm gonna do a wall behind my desk I'm gonna do this wall and then this wall is going to be for the math and ELA teachers to put their anchor charts and Then if for some reason we decide not to switch Then I'll use the space for something else, but this is gonna be like Kind of Whatever they need so anyway, I have a meeting that starts in about 20 minutes so I'm gonna check my email finish eating because I can't Can't be eating during a meeting maybe I'll set this cutie up so I can get some good smellage and then After the meeting's over, which it should only be an hour, then I will start setting up again Okay, so a few years ago a kid broke one of my staplers and it turned out to be like a life changer These are great for stapling things on the wall Does anybody else get really freaking irritated when the staples do that thing? When they do that thing where they like Don't go down all the way they go down on one side Really freaking annoying So I'm currently doing the wall behind my desk And if you guys haven't invested in some of this better than paper bulletin board paper You really need to get on board with that. I know that it's kind of pricey But you can probably get away with using like two rolls Maybe three in your classroom and they're less than $20 on Amazon and honestly this piece of paper has lasted me This is my third classroom or class year using this paper this specific sheet and it has lasted me Through the test of time. They are dry erase. They do not rip. They don't tear They're easy to put up by yourself. All I use is a yard stick and I just pin it up on one side and then I start to roll it out and I smooth it with one of these and then as I go I just staple down and it stays flat and it's really easy to put up. So I'm also Putting up this border to go with it and this is behind my desk space So this is like where I put all of my stuff all my important paperwork My pictures things the kids make me stuff like that. So Yes better than paper bulletin board paper is way better than butcher paper. It is an investment It's not a waste of money. It's an investment. So I highly recommend getting this if you're interested in this one Or the brick that I'm using it is linked in my Amazon store front. Okay guys So I am done with my board behind my desk and I love it. It's very functional I'm just fishing out my Professional binders because I know those go behind my desk and I like to save certain stuff in them and Finding things that need to go in them. I just have these two binders. They're from Target a long time ago and I think I've had them since my first year teaching, but I always like to put stuff like this in there Like Name tags pieces that I've taught. So I like to keep that kind of stuff in here. I always have like staff photos and Things like that that I like to keep So I'm gonna show you guys what behind my desk looks like so far I do have a few things I want to do to my fridge. So I'll explain that but basically This is what it looks like So I have these two clear File folders that I nailed to the wall. It's another great thing about this paper Is that you can put nails through it and it doesn't rip or tear or anything like obviously there's holes in it But you can always cover those up So I've got my phone and then this is gonna be like where I put Things on the top are gonna be things that I need to Complete and turn in and then the bottom is gonna be for handouts that I get from the school This up here is a lunch bunch and behavioral things. So like detention slips and Detention essays and then this is like school information. So this is gonna be like my school schedule Duty schedules things like that that I need to like really keep these down here might be like I can toss But I have my little Darth Valdez setup I was thinking about not putting the shelf here But I honestly didn't want to put it anywhere else and this is kind of like my little ode to Darth Vader So anything that I get that is Darth Vader themed. I always like to keep it together so this is this little spot and then I also have my degree here and then my picture of my grandma and her twin sister they graduated 30 years before me from The teacher's college ASU. So I always keep that and then so I bought some black contact paper that I'm planning on putting on This refrigerator and then I have plans for a little coffee Bar here This Brita will probably be kept in the fridge full of water. This is for ice So if I want to bring ice to and from home, I can put it in here and it will stay pretty cold And then I bought this yesterday at home goods or sorry TJ Maxx and it's for keeping my coffee filters in So I'll probably keep this And the coffee pot up and I'll probably move this like Up here. I think but I think I ordered a different one. This was a gift from Mandy. I don't know where I'll put this I want to keep it, but I don't know where I'll put it yet But anyway, this will be a little coffee bar area I wanted to get some hooks to put back here or maybe here if I can find out how to hang them To put my coffee mugs on But I don't know yet I don't want to get crazy and then stuff break or anything like that So anyway, and then my desk I'm going to keep very Very minimal because like I've said before I am going to have another teacher that has to plug in And use the space so I want to keep this desk very clean um Obviously there's stuff on it right now that I'm using But you guys get it so I made this bulletin board last night Not really bulletin board. Um, this is just Words that are going to go up on that wall So I need to go get my painter's tape from home So that I can Put them up there. I have to hot glue them up there So I think I'm going to wait a little bit until I I'm done with some more bulletin boards before I do that I found this in my little Roll of joy. So I'm going to put this one here. I think it will fit. It should I'm going to do this board next And I think I'm going to put this burlap border around it So we'll see if it fits So I just found out that I cannot hang anything from my ceilings, which is really sad because I bought a bunch of these pom poms that I was totally wanting to hang From the ceiling, but I can still use them. I just have to put them on the walls instead of hanging them from the ceiling So the paper hangs over a slight slight amount on this side, but that my friends is the beauty of borders Okay, let's go pick a border for this wall I think I'm gonna do This again because I have plenty of it Ooh, or I could do Oh shard Hey, where are you going with that? By the way, if you guys hear strange noises, it's just Helen Vacuuming Hey, what are you doing? She's taking stuff There's one way to help me keep stuff off of the floor Because she will vacuum it right up Okay, do I want to do light bulbs over there? or Colors over there with bulletin boards always leave the corner Unstapled until you're ready to complete it because it's easier to tuck pieces behind the straight one On the end rather than having to cut it. You just tuck it right in so I always leave these ends undone That way I can just tuck around them Hey guys, so I had to switch to my phone because my camera is dying. That was me a mistake Okay, so I think I've decided what I'm gonna do with this wall up here I think I'm gonna take it down put that brick somewhere else in the room Use it for a small wall, which I think I might put it over here by the door Or I can just roll it up and use it somewhere else some other time. I have enough wood paper To fill that board. So I think that's what I'm gonna do I have not done this ball this wall yet, but I'm about to and I'm going to leave this wall empty So I think I'm going to take this down And not worry about it I'm not going to take it down yet I'm going to wait until after I do this wall and decide what I want to do But I really just I'm not thrilled about how it looks I did finish this wall love it Um now that I'm like really thinking about the room Maybe the brick was a mistake and I should have just done all wood, but that's fine I'm going to leave it there. It is what it is Okay, so now I need to move this table out of the way With all of the stuff that's underneath it I really don't know why I do this to myself like why Do I set myself up for this challenge? Why did I just not have it pulled out to begin with? You know what I mean? I don't know. I do this to myself all the time. Okay I'm not going to be able to time lapse this because of my phone and I don't have a tripod So I'm just going to show you the before And after so I decided to put the colorful border on it just to put a pop of color in this corner And then while I was gone, I also did the library space which I love I wasn't totally sure about the mirror in the middle But I'm thinking I'll probably put some vinyl letters on there that say like I see a reader in you maybe I don't know. Um, I really like the space. Um I know there's not going to be any kids hanging out back here Which is why I'm using the bench to put this rotating bookshelf And then let me tell you it was a pain trying to get all those leveled They probably aren't even leveled at this point, but it looks good enough to me. So Um, that's the library space looking good I still have three of these black frames that I'm going to use somewhere else in the room Maybe I'll put darla over here Above this chair. I don't know. I don't want to be like oh, I have wall space. Let's throw some crap up on it Um, I know I want to try and put my full length mirror right there Like as an entrance place But I also thought about moving that brick wall Over there and making it like a welcome area Like maybe I would put Stuff there. I don't know next to the mirror under the mirror over the mirror. I don't I have this wall. I think maybe I'll put one of these frames Up there just to kind of kill the emptiness And then maybe one here um I don't want to put anything on these walls because they are brick and it will probably just fall off So I'm not going to do that. I am probably going to put all this stuff All of this like character count stuff Up there possibly I also have miss fifths Motivational posters that I can put up there Hey you guys so update I am sitting at my desk. I'm actually sitting For the first time it's 150 and I'm just taking a break from Doing bulletin boards. I did get all of my bulletin boards hung I have not put anything on them yet. So that is the next step I know that my meet the teacher video is due the 17th. So my room has to be done before then I still have plenty of time. I have all not all day tomorrow. I have until I'm going to leave here at three so I have another hour here and then I will have some time tomorrow tomorrow's our first staff meeting which is exciting but also terrifying Because I know we're going to find out What teaching is going to look like at this point like what our expectations are for google classroom and stuff like that um So that's a little bit Freaky, but I will have some time tomorrow. So right now i'm cutting out these. Um, these are maniac in the middles engineering practices And I really love these. They're so cute. This is like the theme of my room is like These posters like black and white with pops of color Um, but anyways, I'm going to show you what I accomplished since we last spoke So let me flip you around Okay, so since the last time we talked, I think I'd shown you guys that one's done um Also, I decided to change this from the brick It was that brick I just couldn't deal with it and I had enough wood paper that I just put that up So I finished that wall This wall is done too And then I moved all of the rest of the decor that needs to be put up Over there with the tools that I need to do it with And then up there I have Christmas lights that need to go up around The perimeter of the white board and some other things. I still need to focus on like My objective wall and stuff like that, but That's for another day. Um, so I think I'll probably hang these before I leave maybe I don't know yet Overall the classroom is pretty much done other than the bulletin boards um Library is done. I'm really liking it. It feels very big It feels very tidy, which I'm surprised because I have so much stuff But it all has a place So that's positive So yeah, I'm just gonna sit here and continue cutting And then I'll catch up with you guys when I'm done Okay friends, so this is going to be the last check-in on day four of classroom setup Um, since I last talked to you I did add a final bulletin board area I needed a space for information because I decided to put my class rules right here I don't know if they'll stay there the whole year, but You know, they are kind of important in the beginning. So I'm gonna put Um information back here. So I'll put like the calendar And then I will put my scholastic book order number here. That's what I usually do I'll probably get a bit moji and stick her there And then this will be like calendar announcements Um, like if I have bathroom passes or like You know, whatever, um, they'll all go right here And then I did stick a mirror Right there. This is gonna be my outfit of the day mirror Um It's a good spot. I mean it doesn't look too crowded. I don't think Um on the wall there. I'm not still not sure about this mirror here Um, I might move that and do something else with that Small space, but overall I'm very pleased with the way my room is turning out This right here is all that I have left To hang up that I currently have so anything else that needs to be hung up has not been made Purchased or given to me quite yet. I do still have an alphabet, but I'm not going to hang it I have a calendar, but I think I'm gonna hold off and print one And then that will go like I said back there I also have a lot of empty bins, which is really exciting. So I know that that pink one is empty This green one is empty and then I have one two three empty crates on this Which is good news because that means I have space For when kids come in and bring supplies Which I don't know when that will be but we're gonna leave them empty for now Because we don't want to overcrowd ourselves. So tomorrow if I have time I will be putting up Christmas lights and doing the front of the room Hanging up all this stuff. These are like non-negotiables that need to go up Around so those will go up somewhere My desk area is clean So that's nice. This is just trash and then this is a cart I need to put together This chair. I don't know. I think I probably should just Stick it somewhere so that it can get taken away because I don't need it So anyway, I'm going to sign off.
