CLASSROOM SETUP! - Day 4

[@lisagee5251]

I know you said you were tired of it, but the wood paper on the back of the bookcases is beautiful... and not too overwhelming!

[@iteachteachers3370]

Great tip. I like the wood paper too. I am beginning my 24th year and just started a KZbin channel to share my tips!

[@Sarahs.HappyLife]

@@iteachteachers3370 Oooh! I am a first year teacher! I also have a channel! I will definitely check out your videos! I need all the tips I can get!😁

[@steveng2998]

So I'm a tax accountant for an accounting firm. But I love your videos. Its so satisfying watching a classroom being set up from start to end.

[@catherineoclock]

I really like these shorter day-by-day setup videos (as opposed to a longer one that covers a week or so)! It's a really realistic look at the pacing of stuff like this.

[@owleyes71]

I almost wish you'd mash more than one day together so we can have a looooong video! I'm still trying to get my first teaching job! So many applications in and a couple interviews and still nothing - buuut I think my favorite part will(hopefully) be actually having a classroom haha. I actually hate the beginning of projects because I always feel like I have too much to do...the middle of the project is my favorite because you can see what you've done AND you can see the end! So much more rewarding haha.

[@kaleighadams8133]

did you get your first teaching job?

[@owleyes71]

@@kaleighadams8133 I did!

[@blueflavoredramen2808]

Good for you!

[@TheHarlequinade]

I STILL have three days left of school! These videos are making me itch to get into my new classroom and start decorating!

Hot glue also works for mounting things to cinder block !

[@AlliRinna]

I love how your mom helps you with your classroom ❤️

[@EarlyEDventures]

She's a queen

[@DebZaragoza]

My mom does the same! She just went with me to my classroom on 08-08-19, and set up my classroom library while I did basically the same thing she was doing on the video, like unpacking and organizing! (kiddos don't show up for me until Aug 19th) I don't know how I'd do it without help.

[@Soph_-vj5vr]

I found your channel the other day I'm loving it. Especially these videos, it's obvious that u put so much time,effort and money into your job

[@thacherrybomb]

Least favorite part figuring out how to put the desk. My favorite part is bulletin board when I have the ideas.

[@taylorlyon2443]

You should take that wood paper all the way up the wall to where you have your leveled readers. I think it would really finish it off! You have inspired me to do a green and blue theme this year in my class though and I can’t wait to get to started on it!

[@lou7310]

Favorite part: aesthetics Least favorite: diving into miscellaneous boxes You guys are sooo lucky you can get into your classrooms over the summer. We aren't allowed to even set foot in our rooms until about a week and a half before students are back!

[@mariariojas3820]

I just discovered your videos and I've been binge watching them! I'm a late bloomer but decided to pursue teaching now at 27. Starting school in August and CANNOT WAIT! I've known since kindergarten that I wanted to be a teacher. You're awesome and so are your videos! I can tell that you really love what you do and it is so inspiring!! Good luck this school year!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

I always love seeing these from you!! You have an eye for design and your room always looks so functional but also cute!

[@teachinwithpositivity9745]

I love the way your library area came out! My favorite part is organizing and decorating and my least is figuring out the layout of the room. I usually get the layout done first because I need to know where everything’s home or place will be before setting things down and decorating.

[@keepingupwithvicki165]

I Teach High School Law and Forensics so I'm putting up old school brick (instead of the wood that everyone does) and I'm making the writing to look like old school graffiti and an underground station. But it only works for me because I teach High school. I don't think this is a good idea for the younger kids LOL! Love the change you made.... I can't wait to see your final walk-through

[@mkennedy6405]

Hot glue is great on cinder block also.

[@sydneexo]

I'm heading into my 4th full year of teaching and this is the first time that I've stayed with the same grade (almost LOL) so I'm super excited about that. Last year I joined my kiddos mid-Oct. (we start after labour day) so I didn't get to truly make the classroom 'my space' but having been in the room for 8 months I'm stoked to put some new ideas into play. I'm on the shiplap/burlap train this year so trying to figure that out since I don't have a "colour" like your blue/green theme. I like clean white ahah so that is a mini hurdle to jump. I LOVE what you did with the brown wood paper on those shelves - it looks amazing! I just love to decorate in general and haven't been able to have a theme since I taught grade 4 (and did nautical - which I still love). - Canadian 7/8th grade Teacher!

[@iteachteachers3370]

Good for you! I am beginning my 24th year and just started a KZbin channel to share my tips!

[@katiecornett7013]

Oddly enough, my least favorite is decorating because it takes SOOOOO long for me! I'm quite the picky person so everything has to look perfect....my favorite thing about setting up my classroom is getting everything organized and the bins/organizer things right where I want them! Really makes the room come together for me. I love it!

[@msteachnstuff9224]

Using that paper for your broken bookshelf was creative. It looks great!

[@autumnlee5108]

Earlier today I was thinking about when the next classroom setup video would come out. I love these types of videos I also love all of your videos

[@katew.1128]

I love the idea about writing everything you have to get done on your whiteboard! I’m going to do that when I go into my classroom tomorrow. Love your videos ...so inspiring!!❤️🌟

[@pinkstonheather]

OMG...dealing with books is my personal hell. I am going into my second year....somehow accumulated a library last year. Had it all organized by AR level. Inherited a second library with my new room (new site too) all the books are grouped by theme 🤯 Do I merge them? Spent time cataloging 100’s of books by AR or separating my AR by theme? Your girl ain’t got time for all that! So I now have 2 libraries, side by side.....and the kids can choose their own adventure how they like to find appropriate books 🤷‍♀️

[@lidiabarillas179]

It’s already coming out so cute!! Makes me excited to get into my classroom and start decorating. 😄💙💚

[@lindseyrecine2019]

We have VERY similar classroom colors and style, so I find your videos to be very informative! I love watching videos of setting up room arrangements and developing bulletin boards. How lucky are you that the walls match your classroom theme! 😍

[@lolap0611]

I love to decorate the classroom and I hate unpacking and trying to put it all somewhere new lol. Love your videos

[@smsea33]

The scallope and chevron boarders are SO cute! Love that!

[@kendyllcollier70]

I love watching classroom setups! Especially yours

[@melodys7]

I love the choice of using different borders on the two sides of room

[@victoriaLL345]

Bulletin boards came out great!

[@Marissafranks]

I also am using the white shiplap! I love it! It’s so much cleaner and fresh looking!

[@naugirl5]

where did you get it? I can only find white shiplap contact paper!

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

Love your boards and the color schemes. You’re so lucky to get a month head start on your classroom. 🍀 Our school is under extensive construction and we cannot enter before pre-planning. I found your channel today & I’m loving it. ❤️

[@katejohnson97]

Watching from Cambridge, UK. Your classroom looks incredible! You've been a huge inspiration when choosing how to decorate my school library so thank you! Good luck with everything 😁

[@baileighgoins6520]

you mentioned in one of your earlier videos you had a bench there is DIY cushion seats that are VERY easy to make and would look great on the bench you are wanting to put in your new classroom by the door !

[@jessicaseverson2273]

You are making me so anxious to get my own classroom!!! I just graduated and am waiting to hear back from some districts. Love watching these videos for inspiration!

[@alyssabragg8189]

I love watching these videos, and especially yours! Im working towards getting my teaching degree but I am only in my sophomore year ): But your videos just get me so excited and I already have so many ideas in my head of my "ideal" classroom when the day finally arrives!!

[@johnlopez3996]

I do not know if stores still sell it, but adhesive velcro also works on cinderblock walls. Hang in there with your master's degree coursework. You will feel so much better after completing all of it.

[@jennythompson3873]

Your videos make me so happy. I can’t wait until our school gets rebuilt so I can make my classroom cute. Until then I will keep watching your videos about your amazing classroom.

[@RG-ef8ie]

Your classroom is looking better than how it first looked. The border look for the other boards is a great look!

[@tidyteacher662]

Hi! I love your scrunchy border details and your blue and green reading book area is looking fab! Loving the set up vlogs! Xx

[@taylorwaltman6171]

I use stuff like that Scott sticky tac but it is blue and it is so amazing! I love it. I can’t decorate without it anymore

[@caprithornton8328]

Mounting putty works best if there aren’t a lot of temperature changes but if you have a lot temperature changes use 3m command hooks. They make some specifically for posters. Also you can use low temp hot glue with painters tape. You put the tape on the back the paper & on the wall then glue the tape pieces together with the hot glue. Additionally you can try low temp hot glue directly on the wall, only if your items are laminated or you will ruin them. Beware hot can leave makes on the cinderblock if it is too hot. Tips I’ve picked after 16 years of cinderblock class rooms. Hope these suggestions help. 👍🏾

[@laurenskaggs9711]

I got the same white paper for my room!! Can’t wait to finally get in my room and put it up!

[@katiecarnevale9285]

I used that bulliten board paper in my room last year!! Loved it!

Have you considered classroom book a day with the picture books? That’s something I want to try.

[@EarlyEDventures]

Maybe in the younger grades, but we have set read aloud chapter books for 6th!

[@melaniehester9982]

You can also use hot glue and mavolous tape. Both work great on cinder block

[@kristifield3240]

Hot glue works too (on Cinderblock!) sounds crazy...but it's legit!

[@the5crows375]

Regular hot glue or the Gorilla glue sticks?

[@polkadotgirl5373]

I use tegular hot glue. I put painters tape on the wall and then put the hot glue on that so it doesn’t pull any paint off of the wall.

[@the5crows375]

@@polkadotgirl5373 thank you

[@msteachnstuff9224]

It’s true! It’s a miracle! And if you’re worried about pulling off paint then you can use the blue painters tape as a buffer... put it on the wall then put the glue on top of that! Works wonders 🙃

[@happyblackbird8]

It's looking so good! I love your colors! 💙💚

I did a big interactive sudoku board for my 6th graders last year that was a big hit!

[@tifflachelle]

I love the decorating part of my classroom set up. We have the same colors in our rooms!

[@egtupper]

My favorite part of setting up the classroom is the decorating of the walls. My least favorite part is figuring out the desk configuration.

[@tjc8697]

watching your vlogs makes me excited & actually look forward to decorating my classroom for the new school year! ;] (Just went to Michael's and spent so much $$ on pretty things...lol)

[@reagandring7103]

I'm going to use the same board paper in my 3rd grade classroom with black and white polka dot boarder. Love your videos wish I would have started watching you last year with my first year in 3rd grade.

[@katiecovert9590]

Love your videos! I just got into my classroom yesterday and set up my floor plan today and feel so much better! I know want to do your idea of piles on desks to sort.

[@KristenLeigh2003]

Im new watching your videos, I subcribed to! I love your videos! Im not a teacher. But, I just love watching you decorerate your classroom!! And see what else you do!!

[@MandaShell]

The scotch poster dots are my goto for hanging on ALL medium. It works on cinder block even better than putty for me (which will peel off if you have moisture in the room 😞).

[@Sarahs.HappyLife]

Loving your setup videos!! I really like the green ribbon around your board.😍

[@briannamarie1564]

Love the blue and green theme!

[@jessicagaudet1263]

I use hot glue on cinder block. It holds forever and comes right off when ready to take down!

[@audrag77]

I really like your color scheme and the shiplap paper. I have more of a rainbow theme and I think the light shiplap would look good in my room. Also, where did you get the shelves for your books? Love your videos and ideas!

[@1Sanchezz]

I normally use wrapping paper from dollar tree for my bulletin boards! They work great! I normally just get plain colors and not patterns though

[@georgiadavies2998]

You should invest in a staple gun, so much easier then using an open stapler. In australia all the teachers used them, I remember having an exchange teacher and she took some back with her as back then (15yrs ago) they didnt have anything like that. Can be used for upholstery craft products aswell

[@heatherwestover2744]

I love your bulletin boards!

[@kassidy4966]

I go back to school September 3rd and I rly hope that the class I’m in looks as awesome as yours

Bookshelves are fab

[@ryyeem777]

When u talked about the “mounting puddy” i was so shocked because im goin into highschool now but always used play with the teacher STICKY TACK in elementary school😂its the same thing but blue

[@Glitter-rw1ox]

Have you ever thought of putting the desks in rows. Like “two” rows pushed together. But with those desks it would probably look like one. Just thought it might help with seating because I know those desks can be hard.

[@EarlyEDventures]

Yeah, but I am not a big fan of rows. It reminds me of an old school traditional classroom. Not great for collaboration

[@Glitter-rw1ox]

Early EDventures makes sense. I can not believe you responded. I have never had anyone respond before. You inspired me to me become a teacher and also gave me so many ideas for my classroom. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️

[@kaylasahaha]

Where are the different clear plastic bins from? And also the background you used for the shelving. Also where did you buy the boarders?

[@noelleg3890]

You should make milk crate seats for under the window!

I have some, but I think 6th graders are too big!

[@skylerhogan6446]

I just got out of 6th grade in June and we used picture books for getting some of the bigger messages

[@juliaulrich68]

Might be stupid question now. How do you fix the wallpaper on the bulletin boards and the boarders. Is that actually stapler? How do you get it off after your schoolyear? :-)

[@AnnaMGarza-pt9iv]

An idea. To put 2019 in the title. So if watching setup up classroom know this is this years. Just my thought
