CLASSROOM SETUP 2024 | pt. 6 cute banners, laminating, coming together!!

[@EsEdmonds]

I’ve jammed the laminator before during preplanning! My whole team came to the rescue secretly before anyone found out. It was the best beginning of the year team building. Also, that office space on top of closet…. is a dream!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

So glad you all bonded 😂 too funny!! Yes the storage at my school is incredible 🥹🙌🏼

[@patriciagallop2551]

I love that you have so much access to everything in your school. That really tells me a great deal about the climate in your school.

I think it is a rite of passage to jam the laminator. I mean...can you really call yourself a teacher if you haven't jammed the laminator at least once in your career? Asking for a friend.

Are you doing other classrooms videos

[@sashabarker109]

I love when my influencers share their influencers. You picked my first two go-tos. Early Edventures is another I typically go to before I check your channel. I think all five of us are overthinkers who love babies so much. Do you know of an intermediate teacher who does videos similar to Mayleen's? I'd love to follow someone who records parts of their lessons. I love how your room is coming together. I read all the Wayside books as read alouds last year to my 3rd graders. I just put my hand to my ear and pause while they tell me which type of figurative language they just heard. They love the books and are learning and practicing FAST skills without realizing it. (I'm moving to 4th this year in the Hernando District). Have you seen the new matte lamination pockets? I haven't tried them yet but I'm very excited.

[@OnceUponAFirstGradeAdventure]

Did you know they make matte laminating pouches! I just discovered this at the end of last school year.

We cannot get into our classroom until the day we are scheduled to return. They haven't even cleaned our rooms yet! I'm not going stress about it.

At my school, there is only one paraprofessional who is allowed to use the laminator. We have to turn our things into her for it to be laminated. The line gets long at the beginning of the year. It's frustrating, but I understand the rule.

Just a tip for departmentalized! I would think through what you want to call the groups with your team teacher bc it can be easy to refer to them as “Mrs. swift’s class” and “Mrs. Kelce’s class” so I would recommend using a name like colors or animals when referring to them. For example they could be pink group and blue group!

Yes, thank you!! We are going to do a pink block and a blue block! 🩷💙
