CLASSROOM SET UP DAY 1! || KINDERGARTEN TEACHER VLOG 2020 - 2021

[Music] hi guys my name is may from maine teaches k and today starts classroom setup day one so if you don't already know i teach kindergarten in new jersey um this is gonna be my second year i'm gonna be at the same school in the same room just with no kids so we're gonna be starting fully remote today is september today september 1st and we also have the option to teach from our classrooms um so you know me i'm going into my classroom because why not so obviously nobody else is going to be in the classroom with us so that's why i made the decision to go in also it's such a struggle to teach from home if you know you know just making sure that the dogs are quiet just making sure that nobody comes into the room it's just like i'd rather not i have a bit of a commute i think it's going to take me like 45 minutes now since it's 7 35 and i was supposed to leave at 7. um but yeah i'm really excited i don't know how much i'll get done today since i do have to work at my other job tonight but let's see i'll see you guys when we get there bye i'm here let me take my mask off i'm gonna show you guys the mess that is my room right now okay so that is where you come in and my calendar foundation stuff my library is over here and then last but not least all of the stuff that i brought in a couple of days ago i forgot to show you my guinea pig age so i have two guinea pigs as my class pets they took out the sink that i had over here and look how cute they made me like a little table and a little ledge back there and now they have their own place in the classroom okay i don't know where to start so i know i have to i gotta do that this is this needs to be done but i also have to take down these bulletin boards wait yeah these building boards so maybe i'm gonna start with taking down the bulletin boards then i think i'm gonna work on my closet and then we'll see where life takes me all right ready okay border is off and now for the grand finale [Music] [Music] yeah so this my friends is actually a chalkboard and to be quite honest i don't remember how i got that to stick so we will see it's taped [Music] that was easier than i thought we're making progress people look at kindergarten may [Music] so this is what they're looking like now crazy maybe what i'll do is i'll start cleaning this here we go [Music] okay guys so for the most part this is all cleared out um i just have some books at the bottom that i might put into bins but it's empty so i'm happy okay so i think i'm gonna build i bought on amazon like this paper tray thing so i think i'm gonna get started on building this so that i have a place for you know all this paper oh my gosh ah they can't be real life so here's the paper organizer i wanted to use this for like my astro white paper my line paper plain paper it's really nice but it was so hard to put together and i'm still not done this is the name of the paper organizer that i bought on amazon i got most of it put together but i just can't figure out how to put these backs on and then i also have to put this on the back that was a lot but for now this is good i'm taking a much weird break after trying to build that paper organizer time to eat cheers hello it's been a while so i got a lot done let me show you all right so i emptied out this closet i still have to organize it over here same thing i emptied it all out i still have to finish organizing it but so far so good guys next after i finish doing that i think i'm going to go over here and put some contact paper on this desk so i saw miss mills in middle i think her instagram name is use this contact paper to cover her desk so i think that's what i'm gonna do [Music] now [Applause] [Applause] you guys i finished my desk here it is i really love how it turned out my desk is a mess ignore that it looks so good and i still have contact paper left so i was wondering this when i was watching other people's videos i was wondering like if i would need one or two of these to cover my desk and i actually have a lot left i don't know if you can see that but i covered the front the sides so you can kind of see how much i used this was for the front and then the two pieces were for the sides this is a table skirt that i got on amazon last year to hide kind of like the guinea pig supplies that i'm going to put underneath it it's all tangled up right now so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna try to put this around the edges now this table is a different size than what i had last year so let's see if this fits [Music] so okay i don't know if i like it i don't know it just looks weird to me it's giving me like magician vibes okay now i'm gonna tackle these cabinets oh my goodness [Applause] okay i'm done organizing my cabinets for now i don't really know exactly what i'm going to put in each one so that's why they're a little bit empty but let me show you what i did so over here i think i'm going to do paint at the top and then i have all my cleaning supplies in this i need to get something that fits better in this so that it closes all the way but for now that's good then over here i don't really know what to do that's gonna stay there for now and this cabinet i'm not doing today because that's a lot i think i'm gonna work on building some of the stuff that i brought in and by some of the stuff i think i just i'm going to build like that three-tier cart [Applause] [Music] moment of truth y'all i did it by myself my best friend would be so proud of me is what i like to say so i think that is it for today because i have to go it's 1 24 and i still have to pick up some food before i go um drive home since i have a little bit of a drive i'm gonna order some food from down the block because it's so good then i'm gonna go home and then go to work until nine yeah so that's the game plan i'm actually really surprised at how much i got done today i really didn't think i was going to be able to get much done and looking around it doesn't really look like i got a lot done but i did because those closets those closets they were hard work guys let me just quickly show you around before i go oh oh my god well let me just quickly show you around before i go okay so today i took down all these bulletin boards my hand is wet because i just i just washed my hands oh my god so today i took down all these bulletin boards this is probably my favorite thing that i did today putting contact paper on my desk like why did i never think about that i like the contact paper because it won't fall off my desk like the paper did and it won't rip then i took down the wow work like papers um i just have to clean that up and then take down the letters and over here i cannot believe that my closets look like this now and over here same thing i just cleaned out these closets not closets these cabinets same thing rare i just still have to figure out what i'm gonna put in there what else did i do today oh i built my three-tier car all by myself look at her she's beautiful love her and i think that's it it doesn't sound like i did a lot but honestly i feel very accomplished so we'll see what happens when i come back hello so it is much later now i'm dressed and ready to go to work um so that is it for classroom setup day one if you like today's video make sure you like comment and subscribe i think that's what you're supposed
