COMPLETELY REORGANIZING MY CLASSROOM LIBRARY! | Elementary Teacher Vlog

[@kellyivan610]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the teaching clips! I love the "send it" "don't send it" count down! I'll be using that tomorrow with my kiddos!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

You are so sweet! Thank you, Kelly!! 🥰️

[@lifelovejourney]

I can't believe you are only going into a third year. You are truly a gifted teacher in so many ways. And your video editing is also getting so good.

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

This comment means so much to me. 🥺️ Thank you, Kristin! You are so incredibly sweet.

[@lifelovejourney]

Sp are you! This is my 28th year so I've met a lot of teachers.

OBSESSED with this vlog!! Your library is my dream and watching you teach was such a joy! 😍😍

[@glassesinabook9044]

Your motivation for teaching is the best! I love watching you teach! It shows how passionate you are for teaching!

[@yunrufu7899]

I really really enjoy your video. I am not a English native speaker. I have a big struggles of learning education right now. Watch your video I learned lots of things in English, specific to be a teacher! It is really helpful 💕

[@jamesbryan0328]

You are such an inspiration to so many! I love watching you teach. Your passion and enthusiasm are contagious. Thanks for all the positivity!!

[@littlesisi77]

watching you teach is sooo inspirational!

[@3peaksclassroom]

Just stumbled upon your channel - oh my goodness you are a fabulous, engaging, interactive teacher! Thank you for sharing your content

[@BrookelynnTeaches]

Thanks for adding more book to the Amazon list! I was SOOOO bummed the first time when they sold out so I’m glad you added more.

[@leannaboscarino3481]

I'm a junior elementary education major and you make me SO excited to be a teacher :) Thank you

[@jennyaustin5927]

I love how excited you get - especially on Monday’s.... I am sooo happy you are feeling better.... ❤️☺️

[@janinechansons]

I love the way you teach! Please more of that!

[@nita182]

LOVED seeing you teach. SO inspiring!

[@CatAndrina7]

Be still my organize-lovin' heart, lol! Love how you organized the books. You're such a delight and your students are blessed to have you :)

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

You always make my heart so warm, Cat!! Thank you! 💛🥰️

[@readsandeats2263]

Your library looks fab. The kids will rave about it. Love your teaching clips. Your kids will be so enthused by you. Really like your nail colour and the stripped cardigan you were wearing.

[@shreyajacob8062]

I wanna start a blog channel, once I start student teaching! The KZbin teacher community is so sweet and I would love to jump in on the action!!!! Kim, you are inspiring me every day and and I can’t wait to have my own classroom!!!!

[@0chloesa0]

I love the clips of you teaching!! Would love to see more😊

[@samanthasteyart7733]

I want to be a teacher like you! I love how you interact with them!

[@mzzzzzzday]

i havent heard the phrase 'puzzled penguin" in a WHILE. omg...i'm so happy Im through with that. I love Eureka!

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

Love you Kim. You're rocking remote!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

LOVE YOU, TAY!

[@sensationalsecondary-jessi4977]

Wow you are a joy to watch!

[@ashleycloud1567]

Loving the frequent uploads!

[@haleykinnamon294]

I love watching your videos. I’m currently in my last week of student teaching in a kindergarten classroom and graduate on Sunday😍

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Thank you, Haley! And CONGRATS!! That is so exciting!

[@nishatnguyen]

The DRINK! The drink!!! I am gonna go get one tomorrow lol.

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Omg yesssss I could literally have three a day and I would be so happy! I've been trying to figure out a dupe at home and nothing compares. You are far more gifted with cooking/baking though so if you ever figure something out that's similar, "spill the tea" (haha, get it? 😉)

[@nicoleschuman8671]

Do you let students check books out or are they for in-class use only? I'm trying to get ideas for my classroom!!

[@karenm3774]

You could add M labels to the minecraft books. Just so you can file them away. And also make them easy to find.

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Ooooh that is genius! Thank you for the idea, Karen!

[@marisolmartin1329]

I bet you’re kids just love your enthusiasm to teaching which in essence makes them want to learn. Where did you get your sweater from that you wore on Sunday’s clip?

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

You are so sweet. Thank you, Marisol! It's from a local boutique called Jean Marie's. I have their website linked in the description box below my last video I believe!! 💛

[@auntkrispy]

How do you keep inventory of what books you have in your library? And is there a way for your students to search your database to find a book on a specific topic or genre? And do they have a check in/check out policy so you know who has a book if it's missing or another student is looking for it?

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

I wish I had a better answer for this! I've tried a bunch of different things but honestly I haven't found any great solutions. I just started using the app Book Retriever and it's okay but not great.

[@pattiesposito3122]

@@ElementaryInTheMitten have you tried the Book Buddy app. I am using that.

[@aliadelacour6292]

Love your enthusiasm. Are your hand motions "Whole brain teaching"? I use some of them and don't know where to learn more!

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

WOW I could not pass 5th grade math if I tried 😂😂😂

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Oh gosh it is a doooooozy, let me tell ya!

[@emmadonohue1828]

Hi Kim! I know you and your kids do the 40 book challenge and you focus on genre. I was wondering with the new library system if you also have labels for the genre or if you are having your kiddos try and assign a genre to the books because they are upper elementary

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Hi, Emma!! I have the kids figure out the genre and they do a really good job with this. I have them ask me if they need help, though! 😊

[@didiafajardo9960]

How do you separate your own books from the schools’? Do you still put labels on all of the books regardless ?

[@aliciaulrich5157]

Love to see you teaching! ❤❤ I read Turn of the Key earlier this year and loved it. I don't typically read the creepy/thriller books but that was a good one! 😊

[@jenk4991]

If you enjoyed Ruth Ware, check out books by Riley Sager.

[@theswiftieteacher]

This video made my day!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Thank you, Lilly!! 🥰️

[@michellefournier5649]

Hi, I’m a 2nd grade teacher in Ottawa Canada! I just love watching your videos! Quick question for you... I saw a timer on a slide you showed while your kids were on a break. Where did you get it from? I love the idea of integrating it to the slide... Anyway, keep up the good work 😊

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Hi, Michelle! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! I just look up the timers on KZbin (I search “____ minute timer”) and then I insert them into the slide! It works great!!

[@kevstar2336]

Hey Kim! How’s it going?

[@ugochinasaangela8645]

,woe so amazing

[@luvpinkxoxo1]

just curious why your school decided to already go back to in person learning? Cases and hospitalizations and deaths are still rising everyday and it’s so sad and I just can’t help but feel sick to my stomach when I hear that :( but nonetheless I was just wondering, loving your vlogs as always, Kim! :)

[@nickkrohn4902]

Like you new video today and you look really beautiful today

[@aliadelacour6292]

You are superhuman!
