Classroom Setup & A Name Change | UPPER ELEMENTARY TEACHER VLOG

[@juanitaweston6131]

So glad you are embracing change well. You will always be Tina the Tea cup Teacher in my heart. I believe you will continue to do great works ad Edventures in Elementary. I pray a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you, Juanita! Surgery went well. Home and very achy swollen today, but it'll all be worth it in the end!

Put a magnet on the cupboard by your iPad cart. It will hold the door open.

[@itskristinamoro]

Love this idea!!! Thank you!

[@victoriaLL345]

Enjoy your new adventures!

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you! 🥰

[@cherylciotti3499]

Sending you positive vibes for a healthy recovery from your surgery and love your new name..

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you so much, Cheryl! So far, so good- very achy and swollen today but recovery has been a breeze compared to what I expected and was told. Hopefully day 3 and on are just as kind to me! Hehe

[@jessienoke1312]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Tina! I'll always follow you no matter what you choose to name your channel! Though I know sometimes embracing change is hard! I just hope you know that you're amazing and I appreciate your content!

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you, Jessie! Your comments always bring the biggest smile to my face. I appreciate your words so much!

[@mariemolloy2392]

That happened to me one year but I was still able to work in my room. I just had to go in and out of my window. Luckily we have large sliding windows that lock automatically no matter what side you close them from.

[@itskristinamoro]

That totally crossed my mind and is something I 100% would have done. If only my classroom wasn't on the second floor 😫🥺

[@kphamma]

Best wishes to you! You are beautiful and kind. Keep the faith!

[@michellemp1626]

Love the storage containers you have your markers in! Do you remember where you purchased them? Wishing you a wonderful school year!

[@itskristinamoro]

I snagged them from TJ Maxx/Home Goods. I've heard from some that their stores are still carrying them. They were only $30 at TJM for the knock-off brand. The original brand is Arteza. They're on Amazon (amzn.to/3bOJRfP) but sadly, they are pricier online, as well as on their website.

@@itskristinamoro thank you so much for letting me know, I really appreciate it!! 😊

[@lifewithmrsleet3708]

Love the name change and love your content!! You've totally inspired me to start my own channel. I'm a fellow Maine teacher!

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you so much 🥰 Yay! I'm so glad you've decided to start your own channel. Maine needs more representation for sure!

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Good luck with your TpT. Your new name works well for you. I like it.

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you! It was a long time coming, but I'm glad I took the time to find one that worked for me! I never thought the day would come, so I had completely given up.

[@lynnmoehrle]

Your room is so amazing!!! It’s been so fun to watch you grow through your teaching years. Where are your white marker drawers from?

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you so, so much 🥰 That means a lot to me! I snagged them from TJ Maxx/Home Goods. I've heard from some that their stores are still carrying them. They were only $30 at TJM for the knock-off brand. The original brand is Arteza. They're on Amazon (amzn.to/3bOJRfP) but sadly, they are pricier online, as well as on their website.

[@terrificintk]

I’m glad it’s you! At first, I thought someone had hacked your account and was using your videos as theirs!! Hope you surgery and recovery go well! ☺️

[@itskristinamoro]

Thank you so, so much. Very achy and swollen, but it will all be worth it in the end!

[@henryprokop9170]

Hi Tina, Alicia from CT I wanted first to wish you a heartfelt message of get well soon and hope your recovery is going well!!! Next, I love your channel so I much!!! I also cannot wait to purchase your date cards because they are adorable and fit my color scheme. This is difficult, I'm struggling with finding the right school that feels like home but since my husband tragically died 2years ago with no warning I haven't found it. My school closed and I've been at 2 and none feel right. How did you make the change without fear? Thank you. Feel better!!!

[@mrsdscraftdesk]

You can find those small pocket charts at dollar tree. Best of luck with your surgery! And no it’s not weird to turn the special lights on- it’s weird to NOT turn them on!! Definitely leave the computer cart there as well as the student bins by the door. Have even numbers go to cart while odds are at their bins. Then ring the bell and they swap. That should clear up beginning of day and end of day traffic jams. Don’t tell anyone- but at one school I taught at, I’d leave a crack in a window and go in and out that way while the halls were being waxed. And maybe when the hall doors were locked. 😆

[@itskristinamoro]

I love the doorbell idea for rotating out! I can't stand chaos and commotion, so I typically only send a few at a time. That can definitely be an easy way for them to cycle through the stages of packing up! If it makes you feel any better, someone else said they slid through their windows, too! 😉 Hehe if I wasn't on a second floor, I totally would do the same. And thank you, the surgery went well. Very swollen and achy today, but it'll be worth it in the end. I hope you're enjoying what's left of summer (if you're not back yet, of course!)

[@sweettt23]

As a mom and special ed teacher, you made me tear up watching and hearing your story. It will be ok....you just grew up into the Tea-Pot Teacher! xoxo

+EDventures in Elementary Well Tina, First, As much as My Old Soul wants a more true farewell to The Teacup Teacher days at least we still have you as beautiful, resourceful, understanding, bright and as enduring as you are I still welcome the new EDventures in Elementary Days. Thank you for what you have done in the old days and we look forward to what we will see from you in the new days. Second, if the powers that be at your school keep running their mouth(s) tell them that either they are going to let you do what you need to do in your classroom and end up being ready for the 1st day of school to welcome the students and everything go smoothly or they are going to keep running their mouth(s) and run you out of your classroom for whatever they want to and if the 1st day of school welcoming students turns into chaos it's their fault. In any event keep on handling it like a champ. - Dwight
