PREPLANNING & CLASSROOM SETUP #4 • 2023-2024

[@shannonearhart]

Watching your videos makes me so excited for the year to start! Your classroom is always so cute! I’m going to attempt your flowers this year 😅

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you!!! Oh my gosh have so much fun with the flowers! I want to make more too. They are addicting. 🤣

[@wendyhoward2699]

Great video! Your classroom is so bright and vibrant. It makes me want to be in your classroom . Blessings.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you for being here Wendy!!! 🤗🤍

[@katyr7513]

Yesss! I love the liquid bottle of dry erase board cleaner, too!!🥰

[@abubblyclassroom]

Why is it just superior to everything else?! 👏🏻

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

I was so sad when I walked into my daughters fourth grade classroom and it was not as cute and colorful as yours. 😅 Her teacher had to change rooms at the last minute. I’m sure it will brighten up as the year goes on, especially with colorful projects being displayed around the room. You’ve set the bar high in terms of a beautifully decorated and appealing room!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Oh no! That has to be SO incredibly hard having to move right before school starts!!!! I can't even imagine! 🥺

[@annetteweber1684]

Your room is so inviting and colorful. Are you doing the "unlocks" this year? If so, could you talk a bit about that? Thanks!

[@wendyhoward2699]

Looks so good. Blessings.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you! Blessings to you! 🤍

Keep up the 5 am workouts! I’ve been doing that the last two years and love it! Have a wonderful year. Thanks for the videos. They’re fantastic.

[@SuzanneChristian-v3m]

I look forward to your classroom set up every year Brianna! Thanks for always filming.....I'm missing you bringing things through the window though? lol. Have a great school year!

Can you explain the den thing? I’m a 2nd grade teacher in Michigan

[@abubblyclassroom]

We are just starting it this year! It is based on the "houses" kind of like Ron Clark Academy, but since we are bobcats... we did dens! Each class is in one of the three dens. When students earn a ticket for going above and beyond our school-wide behavior expectations, they put it in their den's box and they are tallied up at the end of every day. The points accumulate throughout the quarter, and the winning den will have a den celebration (30 minute outdoor fun activity) with every class k-5 in that den!

[@wendymadden8535]

I love your calendar. Did you make it or buy it?

[@abubblyclassroom]

I made it! It is such a mess - I made it before I knew about large scale printing and poster makes. LOL! There are a bunch of good ones on TPT though! 🤣

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

You need to use gorilla rug tape on your rug. It’s amazing. I get mine from Amazon, but they also have it at home Improvement stores I think. Put some of that along the edges of the rug and it will be perfectly flat. Have some on my rug at home and they’ve been sitting pretty for three years.

[@laciqueen4253]

That stuff broke the tile on my classroom floor when they tried to pull it up to clean the floors. I was SOOO glad I didn't put it on the rug, and I wasn't the one who pulled it up and broke the tile. 😮

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

@@laciqueen4253 whoa. Okay. Maybe a different type of tape then? 😅

[@abubblyclassroom]

Oh my gosh thank you for the tips yall! Once the rug flattened out, it has actually been great! Moves a little bit, but nothing that has made me feel like I need to stick it down. So that has been great!

[@heatherbarton1440]

Where are your pom pom earrings from? Love them!

[@abubblyclassroom]

[@rebeccadula8626]

If you don't want to return the rug, could you use rug tape or a rug mat underneath it?

[@andreabrown797]

Did you hang up the other flowers?

[@jansmith8021]

I think I would send the rug back and try again! That backing does not really work so may become a safety hazard !

[@lauraradt8638]

I bought a rug like that and you have to flip it over and iron it. It will puff up but it’s not the best quality. Mine literally lasted a year 😕

[@lauriewilliams8336]

Do you have an Ollie's near you? They have carpet remnants that are huge and cheap. Just be careful about that "rug" sliding on the floor.

[@laurietilmont6566]

How do your name tags hold up when you Velcro them to the kids’ desks? I usually tape mine down, but my kids pull off the tape and it gets gross.

[@abubblyclassroom]

They hold up pretty well! I usually only replace them after winter break! The key is to get the velcro close to the edge on each side so they don't roll up on the sides. It also makes it easy to remove them when kids move desks. :)

[@dmbalsam]

If going to the gym and grooming at school is going to be a regular thing. Have duplicates kept at school. You won’t have to worry about leaks.

[@abubblyclassroom]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I actually bought little travel sized versions of my face wash and lotion and it has been SO much better! 🥳👏🏻

[@sandycrovato715]

Change the rug, it's horrible. Choose one more colourful, as the rest of your classroom. You're also so colourful.
