CLASSROOM PREP | First-Year Teacher

Laminate first then cut your stuff out. Saves time.

[@piscesplanner]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@RaeleenxMarie]

I’m a cut, laminate, cut person too! I just stick a little tape on the back of the pieces so they don’t shift while running through the laminator.

[@jenocean824]

I put a few dots of a glue stick on the back of the pieces when I lay them on the laminator sheets. It holds them in place so they don't overlap as you run the sheets through.

When I laminate smaller pieces I put a little glue on the back with a glue stick. It keep everything in place! I saw it on TikTok!

[@jessisalyer3265]

I'm so excited to see your classroom setup videos! 💖

[@NO-uy7pk]

I feel you about that laminator! I used my laminator wrong for almost an entire year. 🤦‍♀️ I had the tray on the bottom instead of the top and I always used to think “why do teachers love this so much?” Because it works great if you use it the right way 🤣

[@BandsandBeauty28]

They have a 200 pack on amazon of the lamination sheets. They have like a rainbow splash type deal on the front!

[@stephanieholts7685]

I literally just bought those this morning for 8 bucks!

@@stephanieholts7685 WHERE?!? I need some!

Tip on printer. Get an ecotank one. No cartridges and the bottles of ink are way cheaper and last a LOT longer. The printer itself can cost a bit more but I only refilled mine once in 3 years 50$ for all 4 colors. I print a lot of paper items but more photos and such.

Love it! Very cute stuff and great ideas!! Thanks for sharing.

[@stacylongstaff5247]

Learning how to use the laminator was my favorite part. I laughed. We all have been there. Tip…don’t cut first. Laminate then cut. It will save you so much time.

[@ClaudiaSanchez-1991]

Love your enthusiasm!! FYI “affirmation” is misspelled! You may wan to reprint before you laminate it!!

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Thank you!! I literally didn’t notice at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mrscarmicalclassroom]

this is so fun!

[@Luisedits22]

Im very excited for your classroom 😁👍

[@ashleymayers95]

Where did you get the cart and white organizer from?

[@ms.coleinfirst2467]

Your cat is so cute!

[@SparklingSpeducator]

I agree! The entire cutting portion I was distracted by the cat !

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Yeah she was enthralled with all the boxes and plastic 🤣

[@elizabethslusser5692]

What font did you use for the buckets?

[@bobp1016]

Don’t use buckets for pencils. Instead of having buckets for dull and sharp pencils I give each student 3 pencils and inform them that these are the only pencils they will get for 3 months. I give each student a basket to keep their pencils, crayons and eraser in. I also inform them that I will only sharpen pencils once a week. I do a basket check everyday, before we go home, to make sure they have all three pencils, crayons and their eraser. If you teach at a PBIS school you can use your schools reward tickets. If I am teaching K-3 and a student needs to sharpen a pencil it will costs them 5 tickets. Your students will quickly learn take care of their pencils. I have used this method in different grades and always works.

Does your friend have a store where she sells her affirmation station

[@annacavaliere4260]

Great video! Can I ask the brand of your toolbox?

[@inspiringedventures1287]

It says the brand is Iris USA! I'll put a link to it in the description :)

[@annacavaliere4260]

@@inspiringedventures1287 thanks so much🙏🏻

[@danicave813]

Do you laminate your cart labels? How do you attach them?

[@abbeyreeder5534]

she said she just cut holes in them for the knobs and they stayed without needing tape!

[@430manda]

Hey I couldn’t find your alphabet, where did you get it? It’s so cute

[@inspiringedventures1287]

Miss Jacob’s Little Learners has it in her tpt store 😁

[@dccd4]

How much did all of this cost?

[@danivillanueva1307]

Where did you buy your teach tool box drawers😊

[@inspiringedventures1287]

I put a link for them in the video description! 🤗

[@SweetDee101]

I don't know if you noticed this but you look at yourself in the view finder vs @ the camera. Lol
