CLASSROOM SET UP PART 3 || FIRST YEAR TEACHER CLASSROOM SET UP VLOG || KINDERGARTEN TEACHER

hey there friends it's kate and welcome back to my channel golden state educate so today's video i am bringing you part three of classroom setup to be honest i'm pretty sure i started filming this last week and got like absolutely nothing done so if i have any footage from last week i will insert it into this video um but yeah today is part three i'm doing my classroom setup kind of like sporadically throughout the year um just because we are doing distance learning we already started the year we are halfway done with the second week of school so yeah the kids aren't actually here but i do my teaching from school every day so it's really important for me to like feel comfortable in my classroom have it set up but also having it be like completely 100 classroom as if it were the first day of school ready was just not a priority figuring out how i was going to teach online and figuring out kindergarten which is a great that i didn't have any experience with ended up being obviously the priority because it's not about the building it's about the learning um and the relationships that you make with kids so anyways long story short i'm doing a sporadic classroom setup over you know however many days or weeks or months that it takes but i am excited because it will be ready whenever they show up so which won't be anytime soon which is sad but you know we're dealing with it anyways so i started filming some stuff last week i think i just got a few things done but in the grand scheme of things i didn't get that much done um today is wednesday it's our asynchronous learning day it is 11 o'clock so i've been cruising through stuff all morning and i've gotten a lot of my to-do list done so that will be included in the weekly vlog for the second week of school which will be great but yeah i have some projects i have some things that i can do today and that i am willing to work on so i don't know how long this will take i don't know how much i'll end up be i'll end up doing but i will make sure to record it for you guys so welcome to day three no i'm sorry oh my god welcome to part three of classroom setup and here we go anyways it's thursday i have a bunch of stuff i've printed i've laminated i've cut um and i have quite a bit of things to set up today i am not going to set up my library like i've said in other videos i think part 4 is just going to be just my library doing only that um but yeah we'll see and then yeah i fixed you guys will be happy to see because oy i got so many comments i fixed the o and i fixed the r i cut the center out i had no idea how many people were going to be so upset about that oh my gosh um but yeah i pretty much didn't want to cut it out because i had already laminated it and it was really hard to cut out the centers but you were right it looks good i'm happy that i took the time to cut them out and it looks great um so i also got a pink border so i'm going to finally put the pink border and double border that that guy right there um and we will see what else i have to do i might hang up my birthday wall i might hang up my i will hang up my tools for stl i might hang up another little board right there i might finally get around to doing the birthday board um i'm not really sure what exactly i'm going to do with this so if you have any ideas someone said use it as a calm down corner and i thought so too initially but like with the bathroom right there and the front door right there if at any point i have like a runner neither of those things are a great idea but it is a whole like bulletin board spot so i might put something up there i printed um the letters for up here for our brightest work i didn't laminate hour or work but i did laminate brightest so we'll see what it looks like if i have to laminate them i will but i actually don't have my laminator here also another thing everyone said get two laminators one for home and one for school and i didn't think i needed to do that but wow oh my i need to do that it's so annoying bringing that thing everywhere and lugging it around the last few days i've brought it with me and i didn't even use it so today i didn't bring it with me and now i need it so that's just how it goes but yeah so i will probably hang that and see how it looks i am just going to do some organizational things over here like realistically i know everyone does that on like their first day of classroom setup but i just didn't want to deal with that oh you guys the first time i've gotten to see the playground every time i've been here like when i came over summer when i first got hired and this whole time that i've been here they've had like stuff around it because it's not safe for kids to play because of cobid but it's gone and we have such a cute playground oh my gosh i i love playgrounds like that sounds dumb but if i drive past the school and the playground looks happy and it looks like a place where i want to play i'm just like that's a great that's a great school i realize i'm like totally judging a book by the cover but i love looking at playgrounds i feel like it'd be super fun to be a playground designer anyways i digress um and then i'm going to fix that because i realize it's gotten really crooked gonna fix that maybe hang up some objectives but yeah i have a lot of things that i want to do on my front board but i'm not sure if i'm super ready for all of them yet anywho this was a super rambly intro to this video but hi i'm kate welcome back to my channel i am a first year kindergarten teacher here in northern california and welcome to classroom setup if you don't already please subscribe subscribe to my channel down below um i also know that there are several of you several new friends so hi welcome i'm so excited to have you here but a lot of you are not subscribed so make sure that you subscribe like this video leave me a comment down below so we can chat there and keep on watching [Applause] [Music] all right so the first thing that i'm hoping to get done today is hang my alphabet i printed cut and laminated uh my whole alphabet so i'm just trying to figure out where it's gonna go i feel like it should go along my front board um but it's just a really large board and i hope it fits and i might have to like respace it several times but i think that's the plan right now there's also a gigantic smart board i have this gigantic board in the middle or i'm sorry i have this gigantic tv in the middle of my whiteboard which is great it is big it is quite large so i'm probably going to have to work around that and see what i can come up with [Applause] [Music] okay so the problem is once i they look really cute right there i really like that but then like once i start doing them on the other side i don't know i don't know if it looks as good you guys and also like the tv just comes out so far i feel like parts of it will be blocked but maybe it doesn't matter i don't know and like maybe i don't need all of that over there maybe i should just start it farther down i don't know [Music] [Music] okay so it looks really cute but it's not going to fit so i still have like seven letters left and it's just not going to fit over there so i think i'm just going to move all of them over and figure out i guess do my objectives wall below it or something because i definitely want them all to go one straight line across the whiteboard so let's just fix it okay so that was a task but i did it i think it looks pretty good i'm a little bit torn on that side because there's just a teeny tiny bit left next to the z and then this side it's just like i would have loved it for it to line up with that with that line in the white board but it's not going to and then i also kind of feel like the j is like kind of hiding behind the tv but i'm not sure if there's like a way i can rearrange it but overall it looks pretty good i think if anything i might like outline the whole strip in like black electrical tape or something once i have it like 100 perfect oh i don't know that was a lot harder than i thought it was going to be but it looks pretty good also you guys oh my god i like print cut laminated a bunch of letters and then i put them in a plastic bag um but now i can't figure out what the letters are like i know what they're supposed to spell but i can't figure out like the order and i should have i should have planned this i know for sure i should have u r three times but i can only find it twice and then you can do but i can only find that you can and then i thought i had printed out our brightest work and i did i have the brightest thank goodness that's in a color but i can't find our work so there's random letters and then there's some letters where i'm just like what does that even go to like this might be our and i might have work so i found our brightest work and i figured this out i think so it's like you are you are you can do but this one i'm missing a u and then legitimately i have no idea what those letters are for like none i looked through my powerpoint of where i made these and i have no idea what those are they debatably might have been our work originally in black and then i decided to change it but it doesn't even spell our work it spells like almost our work so i'm thinking maybe i lost them i don't know anyways i'm gonna hang our brightest work finally okay so i'm super excited it looks really really good um i think i might just need to bring down the r just a little tiny bit um but i'm gonna staple it i use the good old um little silver tack trick that i showed you guys a couple videos back so that's been super helpful but i think it looks really really cute and then i it says such a bummer because i need four four of five different colors in order to post like the the student work or whatever and i have three of four different colors so there's just a few colors short or shoot a few numbers short so i'm gonna need to go get that before i can totally finish this wall but i'm super excited this is like the wall that i look at the most because i sit right there so i wanted it to be really cute and i like it it looks great here she is looks really really good like i said i'm just gonna bring that down just the tiniest bit so it's in line with the work um but yeah i think it looks really good i'm confused i feel like this paper has gotten more wrinkled since i put it up but maybe i'm just crazy but hopefully once i like staple the pieces of paper on top of it it'll look a little bit better or a little bit more straight but yeah here we go i'm going to eat my lunch while i laminate and cut some stuff i'm going to hang the banners that go up there because i got them and then i have my calendar pieces that i cut and laminated so i'm going to put my calendar together and then i think that's it for right now okay so i started laminating my letters and this happened so i had this happen before it got like all jammed up in here and i had to rip it out um so yeah um i like just got this laminator so i swear if it's already broken like that's just really annoying okay good news i tested out i sacrificed i sacrificed the math letters but it came out great so i think it might have just been an accident so still upset that i have to go get them reprinted but not totally upset because my laminator is not actually broken so price is averted i laminated and cut out these cute little banners that i'm going to put on my anchor tarts up there um and those are from uh brie from teaching the tiniest cutest ever really like them my you saw the laminator ate my r and my a or my r and my e so i'm gonna have to reprint those so that i can do the read and then i don't know what happened to my e right here so i think i might have accidentally thrown it away and it's gone but anyways i have another e but it's like the same color and i need it to be a different color anyways long story short can't get that up right now but i do have all the math ones so i'm gonna hang the math ones up there and then i think i have to do the meeting after that so we'll see how long this one takes yay i'm so excited it looks so cute i might need to move it over just slightly now that i'm looking at it on the screen but it looks so good i'm so excited to have the rest of them so here's math and then that one is going to be read math right kind of a bummer because they actually say reading math and writing but these birds are definitely not big enough for the ing which is totally fine but they look really cute i'm excited this area is like definitely coming together and i realized i have so many anchor shirts from this week i should start hanging them up so i think i'm going to hey there friends so it has been uh i think like a week not a week maybe like five days um since i last uh saw you for classroom setup like i said i'm doing this video in parts just kind of setting up as i can um but again it's not always my biggest priority um because we have already started the school year we are doing distance learning but i am back in action today i started editing this video um and i've gotten quite a bit done so i think i'm just going to finish up this part right now with the last few tasks um so let me just show you so the last time i saw you i did my math wall um or i did my math anchor chart and i have the pieces to do the read and the right so i'm going to do that i have all the pieces of paper that are going to go on our brightest work so i'm going to do that i have all the pieces for my birthday wall and i still kind of need to figure out if i'm just going to put the birthdays on the door or if i'm going to put them over here and then i did make my calendar so i'll flip those around and show you at some point lost this saturday so i'll have to make another saturday but i did make this myself and i'm super proud of it it looks really cute and it matches my costume so i'll flip some of those around and just show you what that is looking like so right now i'm going to hang the reed and hang the right hang the pieces of paper for that brightest work which is going to look so cute i'm so excited for it and then i'll work on that birthday wall okay i think they look really cute i'm really excited about them okay so here we go i also just hung them up with those push pins um that the teacher who had who was here before me had and honestly i might just keep them like that and not staple them yet um because you can't really see the pins and they look really good and now there's less holes and i'm really excited i'm definitely going to get that that glare spray um just so that they don't glare but honestly i'm so excited about them i really really like them i sent my kind of wish i had right in the middle because it's longer um there's another letter but i don't care i think it looks still really good i also wanted it to be like ela math ela so i'm happy about it i think they look really really cute and i'm so happy that the right ended up fitting the plan is i'm going to have one two three four five so i have 20 all together and then it's perfect because i have just enough left over to add a bottom of 24 so for next year at this point i only have 20 kids in my class so there's no need to worry about that so 20 is perfect and the next year i think we cap out at 24 so regardless i'll have enough but for right now it's perfect so i have our brightest work and then i have the same colors that i used for brightest so i'm gonna do five across and then four down um so yeah we'll see what that looks like i wish there was a way for me to like test it out i feel like if i put tape on the wall um it's gonna rip off the paper and that's going to be way bigger of a problem than just a small hole in the paper so i'm going to hang it up using the pins because i was totally making fun of the pins but honestly they're the greatest thing so let's see how this goes so it looks good it for sure fits it's definitely going to fit but i feel like it's just like an awkward amount of space over on this side like there's just going to be that whole entire chunk because of the restroom sign so i don't i don't know i feel like i really can't move it over anymore than it already is so i just kind of feel like that doesn't even matter and i'm starting to wonder if this is the same pink like on the camera it does look the same but this is just like very bright but i guess that is very bright too so we will see we'll see what it looks like um and then i guess maybe i don't know if this isn't a weird amount of amount of room i could do something with it i might put a border around restroom just so it looks a little bit less like so blatantly cut out but yeah it looks good i'm happy i'm happy with the color scheme and i think it's going to look really good i just do feel like that is like an awkward amount of space so we'll see okay so it looks so good everything is stapled and ready i honestly think i'm just gonna keep the pins on here too because you really can't see them um but it looks so good you guys and also i feel like i'm just gonna leave it blank i don't really care i don't want to clutter it if i don't have to um and honestly it is so much space that like even i can add a whole other row right there at some point and if i had to squish other ones over it's all good so i'm not going to staple them in i'm just going to keep it like that and i'm really excited this is like my favorite wall just wanted to show you my calendar i didn't take the time to flip all of them over because the way that we do calendar is like we flip over a card each day but i wanted to show you what it looked like again i'm missing my saturday don't know where it went so i'll have to get another saturday but yeah i'm really excited about it i think it looks super super cute it ties in all the colors really well um and yeah it took me forever to make this was a labor of love but i'm really happy with how it turned out okay i don't want to shoot my own horn but yes it looks so good i'm so excited i've been dying to do both of those things for so long and like i sit here every day and just stare at it and every day i'm like i can't wait for that to be done so i'm so excited for it to be done these look so good and they're gonna look 10 times better when i put that no glare on it and they're super easy to read but i love them i love them so yeah so i have i finished my growth mindset i did my calendar i hung up all of my letters i have that wall that i showed you this is still kind of a work in progress i have all of these uh the next part part four is going to be the library so like i said part four is going to be its own video which is going to be the library i think everything that i want to do for that uh it's just gonna take a while so i'm gonna have to do that in its own part i'm still working on this on this word wall this is like rest in b's first part first part of my classroom setup we started doing this and i still haven't finished it i haven't seen my friend who has the alphabet border for me she's teaching second grade at a school like literally right down the street but we've both just been so busy and it's not a priority so so i think right now i'm going to do my birthday wall do my birthdays be done okay the night janitor came and it was super awkward so i had to throw my camera and stop filming for a second so i am doing my birthday wall and then i'm going to be done that's i think that's what i was saying i'm going to do my birthday wall i'm going to be done part four is gonna be the library and then i'll probably do a part five is like the finishing touches so i'll do like my whole whiteboard um my objectives wall all that kind of stuff like the stuff that's not super exciting part five is going to be the front wall front board objectives and then finally doing um this back one which is going to be my word wall i'm pretty sure or i'll still i'm still kind of trying to figure out what it's gonna be but it'll be perfect because i did that one that was the first thing that i did and then it will also be the last thing that i did so a nice little tie up hung that in like 10 seconds flat i'm definitely getting better and it looks great and now bring you to the border debacle as always i don't know what border to do um so i like these ones i have a ton of these ones and the only place i put them was on um my affirmation thing over there these guys i also really like these and the only place i have them is my math board and then the big one i really like and the only place i have it is my growth mindset so i feel like i have to use one of them right here but i don't know which one and then all my little birthday things are these i got them for free i'll link them down below they're just like a free download from i think it's called prekinders.com super easy they go with the theme so i don't know so i could do that i think that is fun like this border and the background and then i guess i could do birthdays in black writing but i don't know i feel like the polka dots kind of clash it's a little busy problem with this is like it's big this border is a lot bigger um so it's going to take up more room it does look good with the black and white so i'm just keeping the black and white theme ooh huh i could also do birthdays in a color i could do birthdays in a color like i did with brightest anyone but this is kind of boring this is like my least favorite border i think i don't know this actually might be the biggest struggle yet i thought it was going to be easier to pick i also have black and white polka dot border i don't know if i have enough so yeah i also have that border which might be i like this because it's like inverted of that that could be cute hey friends so it is the next day now i hung up the birthday bulletin and the border but i didn't hang up the words because i still had to laminate them so i cut them i laminated them and i have all of the little pages um or little i don't know little parts where you put the birthday so i'm gonna finish this border really fast hang it up and that will be the end of this setup so let's go do that [Music] it looks so good i'm so excited about it it turned out way cute um so i'm excited everything is up i just use the pins for the birthday but i'll go ahead and staple those but for now it looks good and i'm excited to write all my kids birthdays on them all right my friends so that is going to be it for classroom setup part three thank you so much for watching if you didn't watch part two and if you
