FINAL CLASSROOM SET UP 2020!! | The Room is Done!

[@therapistnothere]

IM just a 7th grader who loves watching your videos so I don't know if my input is good but when I was in 5th grade my teacher had a smaller classroom so there was barely any room for her library. so what she did was she had a clipboard with this sheet that allowed you to check in a book. YOu would write your name, the book your getting, the date, and what you are borrowing it for. then you would take this bookmark that said "I CHECKED OUT THIS BOOK" at the end of the day she would check all our books inside our desks to see if they had that special bookmark. Then she would double-check to see if each student that had a bookmark had written their names on the sheet. After 2 weeks (I think) all books would be returned then you sign out on the sheet at the library. If you needed more time t finished the book you would just ask the teacher. So yea that's what my 5th-grade teacher did hope this is helpful. love the classroom btw.😁

Your room is so lovely!

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

You can put your book case back room

[@far3w3ll]

Hey Dear, I'm a trainee-teacher (Referendarin) in Germany for history and german language and I'm soooo jealous about your beautiful, through-thinked and well, with love prepared classroom!!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Thank you so much!

[@rhoyalt_time8992]

I liked your library setup and your "Be a Leader" wall. Thanks for sharing.

[@lipps1997]

It's interesting to see how other schools are changing due to corona. I am a 3rd-grade ELAR teacher and our classes were cut down because all desks had to be 6 ft apart. I am going to have students browse titles from my library online or in a hanging shoe holder and then they check it out online. When they are done they will drop it in my book bin which is a trashcan with a swinging lid. Then I'll quarantine them in a plastic tub on Friday's and bring the books back out on the following Wednesday.

[@christinehaynes9368]

Great Video. Do you use hot glue behind the better than paper on your wall?

[@mariosaucedo6917]

i love ur channel and ur attitude!!!!!

[@Lucky_kit6052]

Maybe like a library where they checkout the books online and you will have them for them the next day. You can have a turn in cart where you sanitize the books.

[@BrookelynnTeaches]

I love the room! You put so much time and effort into it, and it shows. Your excitement for school is rubbing off on me, and I’m excited to see your first week back vlogs. Do you go back tomorrow (August 31)? Many schools in SE Michigan are going back tomorrow, which feels so soon. I start an online class, and my asynchronous classes start Tuesday. I’m bummed I can’t go back on campus but understand. Have a great week Kim 💛

[@JADYN.R]

You should purchase a portable ac unit for your classroom theat u can weel around when you want to put it up

[@aaronlanier]

Oooh! That’s a good idea! Have you ever been to a trailer or mobile classroom at your school of any that you were a kid at or been to before? The best part of being in a trailer, is that you can set the thermostat to what you and your kids want, while the bad part, you have to walk outside in the rain throughout the day.

[@JADYN.R]

@@aaronlanier we have 2 fredrick kohl's in our classroom there kinda loud but I teach over it my kids say it calming and they love the vibrating sound they make are you a teacher or becoming one we also have covering that protect us from rain I should mention they are windiw unites but they are in the wall

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

Back room

[@RaeleenxMarie]

Did you purchase your bookshelves yourself? Your library is awesome!

[@Otterice]

A virtual library would be so cool but with that many books would be a big job... They could look at the covers and check out a book without having to be in front of them and touch them all.

[@rosiechic14]

Those kids are blessed to be in that classroom with you as their teacher! Praying this will be a great and healthy year for you. Thanks for sharing your classroom set up! I always love watching these.

[@annabrown3337]

thought for the library... start with the row nearest it, let them pick books on way out to break (or front row first on way back in)

[@andreww8019]

Have you ever tried to use masking tape? It is a little bit pricier that scotch tape but it doesn’t damage surfaces, leave a sticky residue, and it works a little stronger.

[@aerinlubman1859]

Mine is squished

[@emilyseneca3293]

I'm assigning each student a day of the week to check out books in the morning. My school has some guidelines for using the library. So if Wednesday was their day, on that morning they would sanitize their hands, return their books from the previous week to the "book quarantine" bin and then select three new books for the week. It's not how I would typically do it but it works for this unique situation.

[@Avaz163]

Hi I was wondering where you’d recommend getting books for my classroom library, I’m a first year 3rd grade teacher and don’t really know where to get books on a budget. I love that you have so many!

[@spencerreece7437]

Highly recommend thrift shopping and Facebook market place. I have gotten so many picture books for free or like 10$ for boxes of them since people try to get rid of them and are willing to help out a teacher :)

[@thedenniscrew768]

I love the way you organized your library! It's so clean!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Thank you!!

[@violetclaire3994]

You can really tell how big of a passion you have for teaching! Your students will have great last year of school online or not. 😊 Also your classroom is stunning!

[@heatherhusker]

When you read aloud let like 2 kids shop for books

[@Jessiemadanat]

Beautiful job! I would move the double student desk maybe move the extra to your storage rooms. Any extra room you could have in that room is helpful. Poor kids this is a rough year.

[@ashleyf50]

What if you made the desks you won’t need for the start of the year the spot in front of the bookshelves so they wouldn’t have kiddos there

[@ashleyf50]

Hope that made sense

[@terrywright4112]

Yes! You've done it!! The room looks AWESOME!!! And I know that you do not think that your door looks like the book cover, but I believe that it is looking extremely close. I am sure that I am not the only one who feels that way. I look forward to seeing the final results! By the way, you are not the only one who has stayed in their classroom for an outrageous amount of time. I have been there, and done that. Although, I do believe that you beat my record! LOL!!! I think that my latest time was after midnight! Hey...what can I say! You gotta do what ya gotta do!!!

[@christiansandoval7011]

You have a nofe room for the library

[@albertaaldrich8940]

Your room looks GREAT!!! 😊 So cozy, warm, and inviting!

[@suzannechristian3965]

Put the extra two desks in the workroom and shift over away from the library to make room?

[@tayloryurek1222]

I also have a huge classroom library and uploaded them all on booksource. My kiddos are 1 to 1 so they can book shop on there and search topics/genres. I am just going to have them check the book out on there and I will get it for them from the shelf!

[@TeachinginPearls]

Kim, you absolutely TRANSFORMED that room! So so amazing! xoxoxxo 😘

[@terrificintk]

Looks so good Kim!! You have worked so hard! I hope it cools down for you and the students. 🙏🏻

[@CatAndrina7]

SUCCESS! Your classroom looks splendid, Kim! Wishing you all the best and lots of love for the new school year :)

[@PetitePrimary]

I love everything about your classroom, especially the walls! I don't know why but the wooden looking texture just looks so cosy and comforting. I hope it's not a rude question, but do you mind me asking how much you spent getting your classroom ready? I have so many ideas but the bill just seems to rack up so much! Love your vlogs xx

[@brixtonwarren9864]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me.

[@hectormarshall8608]

@Brixton Warren instablaster =)

[@brixtonwarren9864]

@Hector Marshall I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@MalloryElizabeth]

Good luck with the new school year!

[@blairwilliams9640]

Really nice room. Kudos to you! My classroom is much smaller so I may not have had the energy to complete the whole room

[@pattygould2002]

Room looks amazing! I am Chrissi’s what are the boxes on students are called and where did you find? (Clean, red and blue ones that fit their white board etc.)

[@melanieshaw7577]

How does the 40 book challenge work?

[@HotforTeaching]

I am getting so inspired. Thank you for sharing!

[@Sarahr98998]

I love how you’re in a frilly dress with heels and your hair curled to set up your classroom where I would be in like a t-shirt and leggings with a messy bun lol

[@savagegrant98]

Where are your student supply bins from? I love them!

[@camiwilliams28]

I think she said dollor tree

[@jennifermarie9350]

How are you able to be at school so late? In a normal year, we (actually I am the only one that ever stays this late) get kicked out at 11:00. This year, my school is shut down at 5:00!

[@ragandyann]

Where did you end up finding your badge? I hate when that happens!

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

OH I totally should have updated! It had fallen out of my purse at home!!

[@addisonswannack]

Love the video

[@lifeofsimon864]

Hi. What are the fonts you used for your title?

[@ms.coleinfirst2467]

I love the string lights!

[@victoriaLL345]

Awesome progress!

[@dannaparks656]

Why does the schools in your area not have AC? Here in North Louisiana we would die! Heat advisory 105* Feels like 115* and humidity it horrible here! Room looks great🎨🎨

[@marisolmartin1329]

Did you find your name badge? Good luck this week with your students

[@kristenpratt89]

I'm v interested in seeing a book club book video! Which books you read, how you run the book clubs, etc :)

[@dreamtraveldisney]

Your classroom turned out absolutely adorable! I love it! 💛

[@theswiftieteacher]

That yellow dress is SO CUTE!! 💛

[@mellisaleonard418]

Your eye makeup looks great Love Room

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

KIM IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!! OMG

[@katiesmith2223]

Maybe you can scrunch some paper for your door.

[@tmstockmon]

Were you at school until almost 1 am !?! 😱

[@bajitofeliz]

Great vlog Kim!!!!!!!!!!

[@readsandeats2263]

You will be fine this year. Your students will do so well with you as their teacher. The classroom looks fab and the kids will love it. Relax, enjoy and have fun being the wonderful teacher you are.
