CLASSROOM SET UP DAY 4 | ALMOST DONE!!

[@emilyhawkins4149]

We just finished our second full week of in person teaching. We have to wear masks all day with breaks given throughout the day. Lots of cleaning and sanitizing happening. In my library we have to quarantine the books for 3 days before checking them in. I have a return bin for each day of the week. Students must sanitize their hands before browsing for books and we are encouraging browsing with our eyes as much as possible. So far it’s working really well and the kids are doing awesome.

You are a classroom set up GENIUS!

[@KpopKnitter]

I love the way you put your letters up! Using a piece of tape before stapling them down is genius. I’m going to have to do that!

[@JW-zs3eg]

I still have about two years before I graduate Elementary Ed but I'm trying to soak as much in as I can by watching your videos. Everything looks great so far!

[@KaRen-sl5kf]

Love how your room is coming together. Oh girly I can relate. Michigan has been super hot and my school doesn't have AC either. We had a few PD's along with setting up the classrooms this week. We still have about two weeks before the kiddos start so I do hope it cools off before they start. I know that you will be amazing this year even with all the unknowns.

[@samantharowe4738]

This is so exciting for me to watch. I’m going to be going to college soon to start paving my way towards my teaching career! I still have lots to learn, but it’s very exciting watching teachers set up their rooms!!

[@taylorbaggett9982]

Definitely one of my favorite teachers to watch I can’t wait to one day have my own classroom!! You inspire me so thank you for being you ❤️

[@TheGOlsen]

it was so hot in illinois this week to!

[@emh7963]

YESS I love to see your 40 book challenge! I do it too 😁

[@Learning_to_Lovett]

I’m switching from 7th grade science to 5th grade ELA next year and these set up vlogs have given me so many ideas! Thank you! I’m in Florida now, but originally from the Mitten :)

[@MadeForSecondGrade]

Also lol we really do sound the SAME. It's like we grew up together or somethin' idk.

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

HAHA I love that for us

[@CatAndrina7]

I love how you and Melissa sound identical! So nice to have your bestie come and help you. Room looks so good Kim! Love ya Sis! Keep smilin’ 😁

[@suzannechristian3965]

Positive girl..... I still have 9 gazillion things to do but. "That's fine"... Always keeping things cheery! Have a great year Kim!

[@addiefoland877]

You are so Smiley and Happy! I love it!! Your positivity makes me feel great!

[@MadeForSecondGrade]

IT LOOKS SO SO GOOD! We love to see it.

[@melissamartinez-lantz5338]

Your rooms are HUGE ! It looks amazing.

[@taylorcaitlyn6573]

Your classroom looks amazing! Love the "Be a Leader" set up and cannot wait to print out that resource from your TPT! Famous/Influential People is actually our first social studies lesson in 2nd grade so I can't wait to dedicate a wall to them and then when the students come back to the classroom they'll be (hopefully) like "OMG!! I know these people!" lol! Always love watching your Vlogs! Can't wait to see Sunday's! :)

[@juliamatera728]

Any advice to aspiring teachers? I’m entering my master’s program on Monday that will be for the next 3 years! I’m nervous but super excited because I know in my heart I’m meant to teach❤️

[@annabrown3337]

Been super helpful 😌 I start Tuesday and kids in from Thursday

[@glish5634]

Ugh your energy is amazing! I just started posting classroom vlogs as well! You really inspired me because I've been hooked to watching yours (and some other teachers) on KZbin! Keep glowing girl! ✨

[@mikyungshin6080]

Hi, I loved watching your videos of classroom setup! I got a lot of great ideas and inspiration from you. Could you let me know what you used to put up the black dry erase pickets on your goal board? Also, could you share the link to the magnetic hooks you used to hang the fairy lights on your white board? Thank you so much!

[@readsandeats2263]

Your classroom looks great. Are you still going to use teams this year? Look forward to your next video to see your door - what a great idea. Am sure you will get all the answers to your questions. DOn't worry as I am sure the other teachers in your building will have the same questions.

[@zeinamoubayed1994]

So excited for you both!! The classroom is turning out so cute! I just started following Melissa like 2 days ago and binge watched her set up videos!!💓

[@Iamkarinalee]

It turned out great! I’m debating whether or not to spray my influential people posters because of the glare 😩

[@courtneycalixto4961]

I love Melissa's dress! Where is it from?

[@MadeForSecondGrade]

Thanks, Courtney! Target. :)

[@marisolmartin1329]

We started back in person last week and the kids are doing really well with wearing their mask and socially distancing. We know that we have to do this but we can’t wait for when we get to go back to normal

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing!

[@emilymanthei442]

I just started an online program to become an el Ed teacher after subbing last school year and your videos are good motivation to study and get my exams done since it’s a self paced program! The room is looking great!

[@heathercharlton6528]

I love your classroom!! I get to go back into mine next week.

[@allerakeller1875]

Love your channel so much!! where did you get your chair storage from??

[@elizabethkitson1687]

I love the Inspiration Station! It turned out great!

[@haerimlee1977]

You are amazing!!!

[@danathornton1099]

Recently found your channel and have loved watching! I teach Pre-K SPED...do you have any favorite vlogs for that level?

[@jenniferlynn5989]

Have you seen the plastic mask guards you put under your mask to allow easier breathing and clearer annunciation? Lots of teachers are recommending. 😁

[@erinkatz8982]

I’m back in person teaching. I’m high school. I don’t know if that would make a difference.

[@logan6003]

You should have use that shelf kit you Bot but didn’t work for your bookshelf I bet there’s something in there you could use for those

[@yeseniareads]

I saw on tiktok this one laminating hack where they stick all the laminating sheets with painter’s tape so the sheets are continuous! I wonder if that works haha

[@margarethempleman5670]

Where is your dress from??

[@auntkrispy]

I saw this in the last video too - what tape are you using for when you line up your letters to put them on the wall?

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

It’s masking tape but you can use painters tape too!! It’s a great hack!

[@little_cee21]

I wonder why the classrooms in Michigan don’t have air conditioning?

[@aaronlanier]

Hey, Kim!! Loving your room!! Two things with the front of the room: Are you really going to use the projector screen in the corner with the projector in front of it, or will you have tech move the projector to in front of the whiteboard? Also, are you still intending on putting the black better than paper wallpaper all around the front of the whiteboard like you did last year? I just loved seeing a black front wall from your old room! Lol 🤣

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

It was moved! I put in a request but they hadn’t moved it yet in this vlog. 😊 And no, I never planned on putting the Black paper up in this classroom because the wall is white anyways (versus the bright blue in my old classroom). I’ll keep the black paper in case I need it again someday, though! 😊

[@aaronlanier]

Elementary In The Mitten YAAY! Can’t wait to see it!!

[@yesevictoria3848]

I was hoping for this Jijiji yay!

[@emmagracejoens]

Omg I love both of you!!!! 💛

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Hehehehe love YOU!!!! 🥰

[@MadeForSecondGrade]

ILY!

[@jenpo6149]

We had to get rid of group tables and teacher desks...

[@jenniferrosenthal7731]

We lost our small group table for this year

[@vanessarodriguez3442]

[@kellyporter4473]

You need ac in that room.

[@lauraduarte8267]

I've seen so many teachers with Mother Teresa posters in their classrooms and I wish it was more common and known how awful of a person she was, definitely not someone children should be looking up to.

[@JADYN.R]

Dousent ur school has ac

[@brettbums6995]

hello homie nice work :9
