A suggestion I use to hide my cords is called CordMate cord covers. I found mine at Home Depot and they were relatively inexpensive. The cable has a slit all down the side to pop your cord into and cut with a little hacksaw to length. You can get corner pieces to make your turn to the wall outlet. They come in white, but can be painted to match your decor.

Maybe that bulletin board could be for vocabulary and definitions that Jen shared about at Hello Lit Con. Adding to it from your read alouds throughout the year.

[@loriprichard2057]

You could do a mystery puzzle incintitive... Where they remove pieces for good behavior and then when. It's all revealed they get the treat underneath...

[@benalilee125]

Bridget, I had the same situation with cords. I hot a PVC pipe from Lowes and ran the cords through it.

[@pricilla2076]

Those frosta stools look amazing and fit perfectly in that new student work area.

[@lisascott5420]

"Longtime listener, first time caller" Beautiful classroom! You always inspire and comfort with your work ethic and passion! Thanks so much for the planner! ❤

[@Dede_5718]

Your classroom has come along way....in a positive way...I watched for three years on how you set up...I love it...and Blain is getting tall and more handsome😎

[@kittyward7910]

Blaine, "You need wheels." Future engineer, right there!

[@MadisonLovely]

I think at the end of the day they’ll play with the tape more than the cords. I would always peel tape off my desk if it was there no matter what. I’d say get a cord cover for the wall and run it across the desk and maybe use the command Velcro to secure it down

Where'd you get your dress?

[@bethsparks2409]

Your little guy looks like he has grown a mile! Why must our children grow so fast??? ❤

[@steminstyle4001]

You have a great little helper! Mine have both come to help me and ended up not being too much help haha. I love the stools from IKEA. Your room looks great.

[@PrissyGaming]

They kick you out? Our school is available to us 24/7...there were some nights I was there until 11 before school started.

[@caytiedid770]

Every school is a little different depending on how the overnight security and custodial staff has their routine. My school site is okay with us staying until night custodial is done, but then we have to go cause the alarm gets armed.

[@KoilyTwirler368]

Here is an idea for your extra board- have students decide on a theme each month, and have them create motivational quotes to encourage positive class culture. I enjoy your vlogs and channel overall 😊. Your down to earth personality is refreshing to see in an age where I see so many teachers who are losing their enthusiasm for the education profession. I start my 31st year in the classroom next Wednesday, and I hope you will continue being an awesome teacher for many years 🙌🏾👍🏽👩🏻‍🏫!

[@miriamrodriguez422]

Can't wait to see your classroom in action!

[@loriprichard2057]

I had to do the same with my room this year. Clear out as much as I could to fit 28 kiddos! I got rid of bookcases and invested in wire utility shelves that had rollers on the bottom... Blaine would have loved it ❤️ 😂. I have slowly been replacing things in my room with wheels on the bottom. Im not getting younger and things are getting heavier...lol.

[@pennyramsey2539]

You are so awesome!! I love seeing your classroom setups. I also love to see how you work your groups and more. Thank you for being a Vloger.

[@bellaboo8014]

Thank you for the free planner Bridget! I have purchased one every year and don’t know what I would do without it! It is so wonderful to have the vlogs back. You are so inspiring just being you and doing your thing. Take care and best wishes for the start of your new school year! We are in the thick of the school year here in Australia but your planner almost has me excited for 2020 already!

[@RosieMovies]

I love your videos. You were a voice in my ear during my internship (student teaching) and I followed along ever since. I’m curious about what you will do with the math board. I like that all your units are on display-what goes in the blank rectangles?

[@roderickwoodard1415]

My first day of school begins tomorrow and I am Uber excited! 😀. I can’t wait to meet all of my 5th grade students and to start my 2nd year of teaching! 😀. Thank you for your continued inspiration! 😀

[@englishcoffee8537]

Omg thank you very much have a great new school year love watching your videos/vlogs

[@SM-qh2mz]

Classroom is looking good.....I remember last year (I think) you changed it a ton throughout the year....seems like you are more confident in what you want this year!

[@lesleycarmichael6422]

I hope you will give us an update on the wooden stools as the kids use them and you see how they hold up. I am down to 4 of the metal stools and I am not replacing them with the same old thing. My students have bent the legs by leaning back and it drives me crazy. I've bought all brands and the metal stools just don't last very long. Also, nothing to do with this video (which is great BTW) but update on my 43 folder system, it has been in use for 3 days and has changed my mindset about paper flow! How did I go this long w/out implementing this system?? I've already gotten a teammate on board as well! LC

[@WhiskandWear]

Ahh I am a first year teacher and have been watching your videos nonstop! My kids come in on the 19th but I dont have access to my room until this Tuesday and then we have PDs weds-fri. any advice? I don't know how I am going to set up my room and everything in a day and a few hours!

[@mhesterfsus]

Isn't that the board where you used to put the kids house names? Do yall not.do that anymore? What about book recommendations, or what we are currently reading? Or how about some.famous mathematicians from all.different cultures

[@annemariedesimone]

Ahhhh I got one! Thank you!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

🥳🥳 Yayy!!

[@krazyshopg]

Use a pool noodle to.cover the cords

[@वंदना3155]

I like your classroom management blogs very much Mam

[@annak1402]

Love your videos! Just wanted to let you know that multiplication is spelled wrong on your Math board 😊 x

[@FabbiRosario]

What about a "Kindness" quote for your board? :).BTW thank you for all your inspiration!!!

[@UnicornsRock]

HOGWARTS BADGE!!!!! I need one of those in my life!

[@JenniferJiang2013]

where does one find a Hogwarts Badge?

[@taylorhutchinson7227]

Just adore you!

[@tracyteaches8747]

Blaine has gotten so big. Love your classroom.

[@1993slh]

Love ya Bridget!! I wish you a great school year!! I would love to send you a letter. I am worried that since I live in Missouri and it would take awhile to get a response.

[@PrissyGaming]

You got a lot done though even if you dont feel like it!

[@jessical7985]

Omg!!!!! Thanks so much! 😍😍😍

[@BridgingLiteracy]

😉

[@victoriaLL345]

Get black electrical tape to cover it. It probably will drive you crazy. Room looks great!

[@owleyes71]

...why didn’t you put the box ON the cart? Haha 😂

[@ashleyhartlaub1005]

Good morning Bridget! I know you are a PD junkie and just got rid of a ton of books but have you read why students don't like school by Daniel willingham??? Quick read which talks about learning from a cognitive perspective. check it out on Amazon

[@caytiedid770]

Warm the duck tape for a few seconds before you take it down and it’ll help.

[@christinadelrio9011]

I meeting at military us man story !😗😗

[@UnicornsRock]

Blaine got SO BIG! Oh my gosh!!!!!
