Classroom Organization Part 2 | Teacher Vlog

lots of work to do today I'm a little bit intimidated [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] good morning hey so today is Monday basically four weeks until d-day basically we have four weeks until school starts and so I'm heading into the classroom today to do some work and I'm going to just bring your long I'm going to do a lot of reorganization and stuff in the classroom okay what's up with my collar and I'm going to do some reorganization and stuff in the classroom so I thought it would be fun to bring you guys along to see kind of what my process is um we are moving in like I forgot something in my all set to turn we're moving in three weeks and so I'm really trying to get stuff done before we move because I just see potential for that just being chaotic hot mess everything school starting within the same basically week and as trying to move and we try to get my classroom done I'm trying to front-load a lot of the work alright so I'm going to go grab a coffee drop my munchkins off at childcare at the babysitter and then head to the classroom so hopefully I get a lot done today I've got a friend coming in to help me and I'm really hoping that I just tackle a lot of my monthly bins I did classroom organization part one that you can go check out I'll link it down below but that was all of the other bins that I use for like 14 activities some centers and everything just basically all the hands-on activities now I'm going to be focusing more on my monthly file bins that have all of the curriculum that I'm going to use throughout the year so basically I just need to go through and organize they're just a hot mess right now I need let's go and organize them all pull out what I can keep you know toss what I can't and then and I need to laminate and do just you a bunch of stuff today so I'm going to hopefully tackle all of them in all right my goal today is to hopefully tackle all of the classrooms in the monthly file hanging Ben so that then I can start putting the curriculum and making copies and all of that kind of stuff so that's the goal today I've got a friend coming in today to help me kind of organize everything do a couple other projects successful I'm working on the monthly bins and then I'm hoping that I can get through all of the business today tops Michael go what you like seen from above estimating for you hey I'm going to get a few things I'm going to get some food and a couple drinks for a friend nope that's it all right I will see you on the windows thanks that was a lot of food okay so I'm just pulling into school I'm going to get some stuff unloaded from the car I have a lot of stuff in the car right now and I can head into the classroom so here we go oh my goodness gracious all this stuff alright you know okay so I'm just kind of opening all the windows making it bright and sunny and pretty in here my friends going to be here in about 10 minutes and so we're going to get to work Oh lots to do today I've got lots on the list these next three days are going to be kind of crazy so here we go it's my goal today is to get through all of these bins are monthly bins with curriculum in them but I'm transferring them to these bins so I've got one of them kind of done the October bin right here so in each bin I put math la science social studies and then Bible because we are a private Christian school and then I put all the letters that we're going to work on these this month I have not done September because the bin that I needed was actually in my garage it said I had to turn around and get this morning so I'm going to be working on that my goal today is to get through all of these bins and organize them like this and then start prepping this week September October November and December if I can get September October November and December bins not only organized but all of the curriculum printed cut prepped inside of them I will be feeling like I have accomplished so much I'm going to start on that this morning so I'm going to have my friend work on laminating stuff today while I am getting all of the bins ready so where did I stick this stuff out here so I have a phonics bundle that I've created with Deanna jump and it comes oh my goodness gracious enough clearly I am got a lot on the list today but the phonics bundle comes with I'm going to try to get through these guys okay it comes with a bunch of stuff but one of the things that I'm going to be putting up or having my friend cut and laminate today are these guys they are just basically the ABC cards I'm going to put on display in the classroom and then I'm going to work on the ABC our ABC word wall and the word wall card is that I'll just give you a little sneak here peek so um I hook these so each letter comes with eight words and then I got these things I'm target and so I'll just hook on there like that and then you can just take them off and the kids can look and there's words in here along with pictures and Apple all words that start with that letter so I'm going to be having her finish that today and so I got three of these guys and I just like that you can actually take in movies down whatever you need it's really customizable so the other thing with this word wall is that the packet is in so the word wall is in the ultimate phonics bundle and that's found in Deana jumps store I'll link it below but these word walls are editable so you can like add students names and things to these cards so if you had you know a student named Aurora her name starts with an A you can add her name to these and then that's a great way to introduce the students names build that classroom community so that's one of the things I'm and have my friend work on today we love our mermaid pillow my little guy wanted me to show you guys this how are we gonna use this in the classroom what can we do could you write the letter A for me very good so that's one way we could use it the phonics bundle also matches these little labels that I made for the ABC bins I still have to get this free bTW but I will link it down in the description after I get it all ready and posted on my blog my absolute favorite laminator is one that I got from Amazon it's Amazon basics laminator it was $20 worth every single penny I cannot even emphasize it enough they also have the Amazon basics laminating sheets they come 102 a pack they are amazing I preferred my sister-in-law and so I'm borrowing one of hers today and then I have mine this is a rack I got from Ikea but this is actually like a drying rack I'm just using it and because I've got two plugs in the wall there but I'm going to set this station at a laminating station for my friend and she's just giving laminating and cutting and cutting and laminating some more okay so I'm going to go ahead and get started on all these bins and hopefully accomplish all 10 months today I get through all 10 months today that would be amazing [Music] all right I've got September October and November damn getting there I only have 22 months ago all right so it is about 12:30 we're going to take a break for lunch and I'm like almost through February so I have March April May and June left but the Mesa March April May and the May June spin are combined so those shouldn't take quite as long I'm getting there hopefully I could finish today by like 2:30 okay I've got some bad news and I am having second thoughts about these bins they are not my favorite and I'm going to show you why so I initially got these the monthly bins thinking that I could put file folders in them but like they don't like I can put one side that works but then the other side doesn't fit so then they end up just being all wonky the good news is I can just use the other bins that I was using before so I'll just put these here and that's like totally perfect they fit these bins fit in the other you know in the cabinet that I need I'm just going to kind of transfer honest over suddenly not something that I wanted to do today but I'm just as I'm looking at these it's just not going to work sorry they're just not going to work in these black bins but the good news is I needed bin for the rest of my seat cover things that I made so I don't have to go buy more bins so I have like eight more of these and I have all of these covers that I made that I don't have been for so I guess that's good and bad news [Music] [Music] I'm just going to switch all these bins out way better I love the song Hey so I love it okay mix way more Sun and I like usin because they have legs so I'm going to do this [Music] [Music] [Applause] it's going together beautiful we're going to start putting our displays off got cards over here the ABC cards and we're going to start putting them along this portion of the ceiling whoo you I got through them I got through all the bins what time is it like can't even see over there so one thirty one thirty seven which we have about an hour left until I need to hit the road and I'm really excited because I got all the business done it looks so good so have a lot more did you like far as like losing prepping petting and everything but the bulk of that project is done can't even believe it so those extra bins that I had I just used for my crate piece oh so I got a lot of crate seats in and I have two extra Stoppers which I'll probably just keep these in case one or two of these guys wear out it will be nice to have an extra set on hand alright so I'm just cutting out the pictures and stuff for the word wall and we don't have a lot of wall space in here to display like my dream word wall but we do have a little area that we can put like a what is it call like a convertible word wall or tie or a space-saving word while I think so I'm just kind of these cards my friend cut a huge stack already I'm just wrapping this portion up and then I'm going to get the word wall hopefully put together today too hey guys okay so it's like 240 and we've been here basically since about 10:45 so writing about four hours got a lot done today tomorrow I need to go through all the curriculum get all the books prepped and everything but we got the ABCs up laminated cut and up we got the word Walden I'm really excited about this so these just hang on the wall and then the kids just take the letter off that we're working on and we go through that I do need to secure this white thing down but that's our little space-saving word wall I'm going to try to get calendar stuff up I got all of the seats done all around the room those are a couple extras so it's kind of coming along we're getting there I'm pretty excited about it it's looking pretty good I'm hoping to get a lot more done tomorrow in the next day so tomorrow's a big so tomorrow's big push is really going to be getting the rest of the books in the curriculum sorted and organized and and then I have a little puppet stage area that I want to get put together tomorrow I have a couple things from Amazon coming so there's quite a few things but this is a good wrap up to day ones I will see you tomorrow good morning so today is day two of classroom organization I'm just trying to get the classrooms together and everything I've got a lot on the list today we're going to be doing lots of stuff got a couple errands to run this morning I need to go get a printer I've been wanting to get a printer for the classroom forever and with HP instant ink program I'm going finally get that set up in the classroom so that'll

yeah you did it we Came we saw we fought thank you alrighty so we've got the printer Mott the diapers and hey and we it is 935 I forgot my battery to my camera my extra battery so I'm going to swing back on a house roll a mile away so it's pretty much on the way to the babysitter and then to the classroom so so far it's a pretty good morning so far I feel pretty confident that this is going to be a good day so I decided to stop at Party City and grab a couple things are bulletins like our big display bulletin board and then we have like a poll in the classroom that I'm going to make a tree so I just grabbed a brown tablecloth like a plastic tablecloth that I'm gonna wrap around the tree and I'm right now I'm looking for like things for the bulletin board so and little man sounds and glasses okay this is what I'm looking for you sure I just saw these glitter fans and they are exactly the colors that I need they're $5.99 I think this is perfect all those are you Taylor right I found some really cute things that are going to match the colors they have some paper lanterns pennant banner there's only a couple bucks each paper lantern more people teachers and then they have these glitter fans and these tissue paper fans so a lot of them come in that light the same color scheme that we have in the classroom so we're going to use useful bulletin boards and to decorate the classroom alright so we just got done with our ECT we're going to head to the school now and get to work today - in the classroom the focused focused on Nelson okay um we are going to go ahead and hop in with everything we're just starting the goal today is to get through all of the books organizing the books we're going to put a puppet stage up here um my master teacher sounds it's like 140 dollar puppet stage for $10 a garage sale and we have this little closet here so we're going to convert that into a puppet stage and pretty excited about that and then I went to earlier Party City and we're going to try to put some banners up and stuff so those are the big goals today we'll see how o it in the last thing is to we want to M paint in the Cubbies here there's like some places that are chipped paint that's chipped and stuff and so we're going to hopefully get that done today - so there we go alright I'll keep in touch so we got the puppet stage set up it's got like a little retractable thing it's super cute but then it came with all these fun little puppets look at the little finger puppets is it sorry we put on the seat the bins in there they were a little bit tight but then inside the bins are all the other puppets and then the puppet stage has these pockets and stuff so 10 bucks can't beat it because we're going to have a blast of that you it's 12:40 and things are coming along really well and my friend is painting just touching up the Cubbies I just installed this Wireless doorbell that's going to be used for transition time and I love this because I can put this on a lanyard around my neck and I can literally be all the way over here and the doorbell is like over there behind that printer ok lysing on there we go you have to point it at it but then um but then it'll go off and I can be in reading group and the kids hear that and they know to transition so that's something new that we added this year so we're going to just keep trucking along we got the bulletin board this one papered and bordered we're going to try to get that big one papered and bordered today finish up the cubbies and just kind of straighten up everything's kind of messy right now it's my fault but everything's coming along really well and I've already gone through the curriculum which was my big goal today and so everything's coming along really well and I think by tomorrow I'm going to be feeling a lot better the only the other thing that I am like a little bit kind of dreading is having to this is like my to-do stack in here is all stuff that I kind of need to like redo an update so that's going to take me some time but I oh I got the printer to I need to set that up as well so I'm gonna try to get this set up the bulletin board done and the and then my friend is going to finish hopefully painting the cubbies today and I will feel like we've accomplished a lot if all that gets done you making noise oh think it'll work yeah it's working all righty so it is about 3:45 I took a little break I had to go pick up my munchkin and he was just going to sit in here and play the classroom is put enough the classroom is put together enough for him to actually enjoy himself so um he's playing over there with a little marble maze renting so I'm just going to try to wrap up a couple of the projects we got really far today we got all the teasing hate that so quiet we got all the painting done which is a big job so basically we went and just kind of touched up these cubbies these were built custom last year for the classroom and so um we got all of those touched up and painted and then we had another little cubby over this area yeah it was good I got the printer set up over here and then we got the puppet stage set up here I also got sorry if I'm making you dizzy so camera focused I can't tell so we also got this up so I'm going to try to finish this dilution board the hardest part was okay the hardest part is like getting the black but your paper up but that's done so I'm just going to like trim it out and make it I put it all together and everything so um and then I need to sit down and basically write out the rest of the stuff that's on my to-do list I got this um teacher toolbox it's a little bit disheveled right now just because I've been in and out of it so much but I need to print off a couple more I got this from who did I get this from I can see her face I'm going to link it down below but she makes all of these adorable like they she makes all of his labels and stuff for this so she's got lots of different options so I actually ordered another one of these on Amazon so I'm going to have to but I need to go through this is my job tomorrow for sure I'm like tackling this because I need to get this all organized and stuff but and then at the end of today I need to just basically sit down and make like my to-do list of everything that I need to do to wrap up the actual setup of the classroom now that I have a printer in the classroom I can tackle this pile this is all steps it just basically needs to kind of be remade I need to print off a couple of the kids pictures and start thinking in that along those lines so anyways that's kind of where an at I will do like a recap here in a little bit before I leave but um it's been it's been a pretty productive day if I could rate this day like one to ten I probably rate it like nine and a half and I had another field trip confirmed today like I try to schedule field trips over the summer but in kindergarten we go on like a field trip a month it's basically eight to nine field trips and so this year we're going on eight field trips scheduling all of that over the summer time is seriously a lifesaver my master teacher who is helping me this year gave me that tip and so I'm so glad she said that because I cannot even if it's hard enough doing this stuff over the summer I can't even imagine doing it over the school year so anyways I have one more field trip to confirm and then all of my field trips for the entire year are confirmed so that was like a little bonus today okay so this it is kind of trimming this out this is terrible like this is probably the worst bulletin board that I've ever done it is not even ziti I mean I put like clear tape on it the reason is because it's an old whiteboard and so I can't like poke holes in it have to use tape so now I'm like well how am I going to put the borders on and so I think what I'm going to do because um I think what I'm going to do is use velcro I got all these little velcro things yeah that's so fun I got a bunch of velcro at the dollar store so I think I'm going to use this to put the borders on we'll see how it works sure yeah catch it okay [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I think it works I think it's going to stay yes all right so I finished it it's not like a hundred percent the best one that I've ever done but I do have to say the fact that it's a whiteboard and I could not staple nail or anything into it and really used only tape in velcro I feel like it turned out really good I'm going to like this is my least favorite part I'm going to try to cover that theme up with I have some road themed tape that I'm going to try to use so anyways that's what the bordered bulletin board looks like and I didn't do one on the bottom just because it wouldn't show if I did and I feel like that that looks fine so alright so the next thing I'm going to start working on is putting some just like decor up I wanted to put these fans if I want to expand these fans first of all I got these from Party City earlier from the shopping trip and um I'm just going to see what they look like on that bulletin board so just going to open them up and kind of lay them on the table for right now and I forgot my tripod so I'm going to just put you down on the table [Music] [Applause] yeah [Music] love that that's really cute [Music] [Applause] [Music] you got it up and decorated turned out pretty good I think I also put some lanterns up in the corner here I got this at the party city too so I'm really just kind of wrapping up today we're going to go home and get some dinner and then a big day got a lot done today feel like tomorrow I'm just going to wrap up a couple things I'm going to put the calendar up and things and it's going to start feeling real I think because I'm going to start and customizing all the nametags and residual I can't believe it hopefully all this hard work pays off I hope the kids love the environment you know they say like a classroom should be like home away from home and I think you know having a cute classroom is it's fun but really having a functional classroom is the most important thing and I really hope that this is a functional space for the upcoming school year I may end up tweaking a couple of things I'm not sure but I'm feeling really good about it right now so the last thing that I need to do before I leave is I want to sit down and basically write out what I want to do tomorrow I cannot believe this like it's starting to feel like a classroom blog and then after I write down everything that I want to do tomorrow then I'm going to go home get some dinners and some time with a family so it's coming too low oh my husband offered to take the kids for a couple hours so that I could just stay a couple hours extra and get a couple more things done so I'm putting up the calendar I'm going to link this calendar down in the description and this is a new one for us but basically what I did was I got the calendar at Lakeshore Learning I laminated it and then the calendar pieces are from I think it's learning in Wonderland I'll link her below but I love these because she also recommended these sticky Clips so basically they just slide in and they are yes they are reusable so they have like uh no fight videos you can see is it going to focus so they have like a whack backing and then the students just slide the pieces in so I'm in the process of kind of putting them all on the dais and then the students will just take the number and slide it in like that is that super easy no velcro and you can reuse these so I really liked it she recommended that I'll link these sticky Clips down below so that you know where to find them I'll link the Amazon links down below but I'm just going to try to get this up tonight and I have about another hour and a half in here so I'll just kind of keep blogging I guess I thought the vlog was over but for today but that's that's life and if I can get more done and that means I don't have to do it later got most of it up I ran out of sticky clip so I need to buy more of those down here I'm going to put the weather and then like because that's what's been missing from the calendar and then I'm going to put birthdays up here so that we can keep track of birthdays and stuff but that's basically it and the piggy bank is the one from the ad bullseye playground the dollar spot I do target haul video on that I'll link that below but that's where I got that from and then the rest of this calendar stuff is from learning in Wonderland I'll link her below too so um I will let you know once as you make costume tour this will totally be complete but that's just a sneak peek and then I just wrapped this poll with um this is a tablecloth plastic tablecloth that I got from the Party City earlier this hole is carpeted you can kind of take a sneak peek there but it really makes it look a lot nicer and the reason I wrapped it is because we make this a big tree so I put like brown tissue paper and put your paper and a bunch of so this is just kind of the base of everything but I got that done - all righty it's like almost seven o'clock and I've been here all day I'm pretty tired I'm going to go um go grab some dinner from the grocery store and then go home and see my family my little guys and my husband I got a lot done today no seriously I got way more done than I thought but um I only have my friends coming one more day to help out so really getting as much as I can down for here is like awesome considers the goal so I'm excited I think it's going to be really fun I don't know how much like I want to show you guys because I want to do like an official class room tour video so I'll probably vlog a little bit tomorrow and then wait to show you like the full class room after I have set everything up like officially for the classroom tour so anyways I'm tired I want to go home spend a long long productive day but um today was a good day so it's really starting to feel like real you know so anyways alright here's to a good day Thanks here okay all righty day three this morning is that it's like early I can't even formulate the symptoms right now it's 6:40 in the morning and just grab my coffee I'm heading to school I do have to work for the summer program for a couple hours until nine o'clock so I'll be doing that this morning um and then after that I'll be heading into the classroom I am NOT anticipating that today is going to be as long as yesterday honestly yesterday I for I didn't eat yesterday I literally worked the entire time the entire day and didn't eat I know you've been there I know you don't judge me don't judge me I know you've been that and so I promised myself that I would not do that today and and I'm not going to so I'm probably only going to be there to like 2:30 ish and then and then I'm going to leave so because I got home yesterday and I was a hot mess I'm so tired hungry I was angry and I don't like to be like that when I get home with the family so I got some food at the grocery store and stuff but I literally was like a zombie walking around the car shoe store I was so tired it's like so hungry and I just you know how when you're really hungry and you go into the grocery store and you just want to buy everything you see that was me yesterday so they say not to go into the grocery store when you're hungry and I broke the rule so I'm not going to do it again I'm sure a few of you are wondering why I'm getting the classroom ready a month before school starts and the answers really simple we are actually moving on at the end of this month we are moving the week of our orientation like our teacher orientation yeah I know crazy huh we didn't have like say-so over the date that we're allowed to get into the house and so it's just the the dates just kind of fell like that so my thought is I need to get into the classroom the beginning of the month so that when it is crazy at the end of the month and I can't find any of my stuff because we're moving I won't have hopefully as many issues so you know good news is we don't have a lot of stuff we don't have a huge house we're pretty simple people so hopefully I mean I know it's going to be crazy if you know moving is moving I consider myself a free organized person and so a lot of the steps to house is organized and so we're probably I'm hoping that we have an easier time moving ok this is hilarious I look like tape safe have you guys ever seen Kate face on American I think America's Got Talent I'm so like old anyway so that's why I'm getting into the classroom - beginning of the month versus like what I would normally want to get into the classroom if I can get the full you know the heavy lifting done now and also good about going into the rest of the month so I do still need to get you know like I really want to get a lot of the like prepping and cutting and stuff like that Valley when we do crop we do so many hands-on activities the craftsman stuff and so I would love to get a lot of that time you know towards the beginning of this month this week next week so that when I start the year off I have a good chunk of stuff ready to go so that you know it's going to be just a crazy time the first couple weeks of school you just get home and you're just like a zombie you know it's like you're training the little ones it's all good some good stuff but um you just use a lot of your words during the day so if you're wondering that's why that's why I am working so hard right now and to get this classroom in order an entire month before school starts so when I left the classroom yesterday I was so tired I totally forgot my computer in the classroom which is a good thing because when I got home I didn't work um if I had it and like literally I put the kids to bed and thought I need to get on my computer do couples like and my laptop wasn't there so I actually just went to bed and it was was a good thing so I'm going to go grab my laptop really quick from the classroom and then head up to the summer program the summer program is like wrapping up there's only like a week or two left of it so we need to like kind of do some reorganizing and kind of pack up some of the stuff from this summer so that's going to kind of be on my list this morning and then after that I will be heading to the classroom to get some more looks in literally half of my bulletin board fell down overnight I had huge fans in the corner day three has begun so I just got done in the summer program I'm going to hang out in here for a little bit and then I got to drop my little guy off at childcare that's a babysitter and then I'm going to come back and meet my friend here she's going to be her on 10:30 so it's just after 9:00 right now keeps my shoes off so I'm going to work a little bit probably kind of get a list going of like what we need to get done today job my little guy off at the babysitter and then and then come back and get to work I've been here for about thirty minutes I'm I've made a long list you do that long list of things today today I hope we can get them all done I'm going to go drop my munchkin office a babysitter and then we're going to I need to go to the couple store this is my to-do list and when I'm I want to get a couple things for just I just need to grab a couple things like I need to go to Walmart I need to go to my goals so I'm going to go run those errands and then come back and get to work I have an order that I was wondering if you guys would be willing to do I would like to put the word kindergarten on my door but in very large letters so like 18 inches by 6 feet tall I was wondering if you guys would do something like that like I have the file already made as a PNG and so I would just need the letters cut out in black and then backed with the transfer paper I forgot to mention that I'm going to try to put vinyl on my door I have a Cricut it's a final cutting machine you may also heard of the silhouette but um the letters that I want to put up are huge and while my cricket could cut it I would prefer just to go buy a vinyl sign so I haven't placed that I actually go get free vinyl scraps from and it could have a cricket and you've never heard of this tip I I'm excited that I'm the one sharing it but basically what I did a couple years ago when I got my cricket was I called a bunch of stores in the area like vinyl stores and I basically said I'm a teacher in you know in the area and I'm wondering if you have any scrap vinyl that you would be willing to donate because I create a lot of projects and stuff for my classroom I have a machine and even the kids paint as a mine now you did stickers interesting and I've had several places say that they have extra vinyl and sometimes vinyl will expire and they're no longer able to sell the mile and just because then it's not under warranty or remember and so they have given me full humongous bolts of vinyl like I'm not kidding like hundreds of dollars worth of vinyl and a lot of the vinyl that I have actually at my house and stuff is from these types of places and so that's a great way to get free vinyl for your machines now as I picked up vinyl I kind of established relationships with one store in particular and Cindy is the lady's name now haven't been there in a few months but every time I caution is exactly who I am I have a huge walled mirrored wall in my house and I had her cut out a huge scripture verse from the Bible and put it and so basically what they do is they cut out the vinyl and then they mat they put it the backing on it is like this clear transportation and I only spent about 18 dollars on the final that's on my mirror and so I just called her and to see how much it would cost for me to get the vinyl cut and back for my kindergarten classroom door and she said only about 12 bucks and so for me it saves me so much time I don't have to get my Cricut out and set up and figure out all the letters and stuff like for 12 dollars I it is 100% worth the money to go get this huge classroom vinyl sign for my door and so I'm going to go probably I just emailed her the image and so I'm going to just wait to hear back from her and hopefully I can pick that up today and then get that on the door as well oh no are they out these busy yes okay oh man that's all they have hidden behind a bountiful other box da or yay you so they have the D in the a and these are in an e I'm going to see if there's other letters somewhere here's some greater because they have these I need an R now what is going on is upstairs to Christmas stuff I need an or or okay I think these might work cute okay I'm out and see love it perfect okay so going already so I'm back in the classroom and we're just kind of wrapping up some things I'm doing some last-minute painting and organizing our craft cabinet I think after the end of today I'm going to feel really good like the classroom is ready to go so I don't want to give away too much because I am going to do a classroom tour but I want to make sure that you kind of get a sneak peek into today so I'm going to show you what we're doing with the crafts so I was storing all of the craft materials in bins like this but we are moving them over to these binder pouches that I got for 49 cents at Walmart and so we just put all of the same types of over as well like all of the B's going one like we took all of the beads and one all of the balloons and one and that kind of thing and then I have two drawers down here that fit these and then it's really easy just to grab the bag that you need and really easy to see through to they're clear cheap really cheap options for organizing your craft materials alright so I just got the email from the lady that and has the vinyl shop and she said that the vinyl letters are ready so I'm going to go pick that it only like $19 um and it's a little bit extra I thought it was going to be 12 but it's a little bit extra because of the backing that she's going to put on to sing transfer tape on which I'll show you when I put it on the door it makes it so easy but still 20 bucks for a huge door sign that is already backed and cut it saves me so much time and I'm really excited about it so I'm going to go grab that drink my coffee on the way and then head back to the costume and put the vinyl on the door alrighty so I just pulled it into this sign shop we're going to see how it's how it plays out you want to open it I'm sure that's so fun yeah oh my goodness how fun is this clinkers is going to be so cool we're going to put this on the door oh my goodness so this is what we're going for and they backed it and everything oh my goodness this is going to be so cute I'm so excited to get it on the door yay thank you so much yay we're going to have so much fun thanks again and we'll see you bye alrighty guys so I'm back in the classroom and I've got the kindergarten word just taped on the door but I'm going to actually apply it now so I'm going to do a time lapse video here and just kind of talk you through walk you through how I did it again this is only 19 bucks total time-saver lifesaver it's going to make that door look pop in and I'm really excited about it so here we go you yeah okay awesome so it's a shiny vinyl which will be really nice because it will be easy to wipe down and it might have finger vibrating like that though alright so I'm literally just wrapping up we are just going to vacuum and not everything is 100% done but if I show you what we've done it's going to blow the classroom reveal video so I just don't
