CLASSROOM SETUP DAY 2 | LOTS OF PROGRESS!!

[Music] hello sweet friends welcome to a new Vlog if you are new here my name is Kim I am a second grade teacher in West Michigan and today is day two of classroom setup so if you missed yesterday's video I will have it linked below make sure you go check that out first so you can see all the work that I put in yesterday today mom is here she's over there somewhere uh nope they can't see you hey you can come over if you want though uh there she is there's Mom hey so she's here today she took the day off work today and tomorrow which I super appreciate thanks mom and she's gonna work on putting the wood wall up as one of the very first things that she's going to do which I'm very excited about because it just like ties together the room I feel like in my brain as long as that's done I don't really care about anything else like I could just still have all the boxes as long as my wood wall is up so that's not actually true but it is like the most important thing to me so my mom's gonna put that up today and then I'm gonna work on my classroom Library once that's up I think I'm going to use these two bookshelves over here against that wood wall and yeah just a lot of work that still needs to be done so I'm going to walk you around the classroom really quick show you what it's looking like right now and then it is time to dive in and turn my fans on because it's already so hot and sweaty in here so let me pull you off I'm gonna show you around the room and there we go woohoo okay so I worked on the cabinets a lot yesterday just trying to get some stuff starting to be put away and then my mom brought in a ton of stuff from the storage unit so I had a lot of stuff in a storage unit by her house so I have that all over here all of this stuff all of that stuff just a lot of stuff mom brought in some snacks which was exciting and then I brought in some donuts so we are good to go and some nice nutritional meals there's also a crumble over there so yeah life is good I started filling the stage last night so there's a ton of stuff in there and then over here just lots and lots of boxes okay so I have not counted my desks yet I'm a little worried I won't have enough but we will find out once I get to that point most of my boxes now are mostly books and so I need to kind of wait until the library like area is ready so I can start putting those on shelves though I might use that space over there as well I don't know I have to figure that out still and yeah just stuff everywhere mom just moved all of my stuffed animals and stuff to the couch so those are out of the way and she's just getting some of that paper ready and then I want to show you the back room I'll wait for Mama a second okay so the back room is looking like this so I got a lot of work done in here yesterday as well but still a lot more to do so yes here are all of Mom's little rolls that she's going to use for the back wall all right day two here we go [Music] thank you [Music] foreign foreign [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] feels like [Music] sunny days [Music] [Music] only positively to this party don't want no drama with any back armor got a lot of that elevator look I just wanna let it all go home or I can't sleep why they're so nice only got good vibes [Music] okay so it is many hours later it is almost 8 P.M right now and Mom and I are still going at it getting to the point where we're almost at 12 hours I think we're at like hour 11 right now and we don't have any plans of stopping anytime soon but we did just get some pizza and we had a little pizza party with some of my friends who are here and that was really fun and a lot has gotten done as you can see the back wall is done mom did that this morning and we worked on the library that's over there so I'm gonna walk you all around show you what it's looking like right now and then I'm gonna get back to work so here we go okay so as you can tell it's still a big hot mess but we are making progress so I have my bulletin boards like not done done but like pretty close and then yeah that's how this space is looking right here some of my picture books are now in these cabinets and then also the cabinets down there so that's like most of my hardcover picture books that I would use for like lessons and stuff so I have those I still don't have anything in these cabinets over here I might just like leave them empty if I don't end up needing them we will see so that's this space mom is working on fixing the cute little dollhouse bookshelf because it needs to be reassembled after being in storage actually it needed to be reassembled last year even so yeah she's working on that there's definitely still a lot of boxes and messes but not nearly as many as there were so I'll take it we worked a lot on the library today and I'm really really liking this setup I think this is just going to be more conducive to learning and I'm really excited about that so what I'm doing is giving the kids less picture book options and then what I'm going to do is just switch them out more so it's not like so overwhelming so I'm gonna have a lot of picture books in my back room as well and then I have my chapter books over here I haven't decided what's going on these bins just yet but I will make a decision at some point and then Mom put up the basketball and the fridge I still have all of my plushies and stuffed animals and pillows and stuff on the couch for right now but my mom just brought over the tub that um we put those in So eventually those will go in there and let me think over here I started this bulletin board and got most of it done I got like the Border done the fabric done all that fun stuff again all the dust are just in the middle of the room still but it is slowly very very slowly but surely coming together so yay we're getting closer and now I'm going to set you down so I can get back to work oh also actually I'll show you the back room really quick so lots of additions in the back room as well books bins all the fun things okay now it's time to get back to work thank you foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you okay so it is midnight so we are just about to head out but I wanted to do a quick walkthrough of the room we got so much done today so much done so I'm feeling really good life is good got lots of good things like it's looking almost now I'm not gonna say almost ready it's not like I'm almost ready but it's looking like really close to almost being almost ready if that makes sense um so I'm feeling really good I'm gonna walk you all around show you all the fun things and then we will be back tomorrow for classroom setup day three okay so ignore the big pile of stuff that is stuff that still needs to be gone through and then also some snacks and stuff like that but my desk space is looking pretty good and then above these cabinets I feel like the lighting is like so weird for some reason I don't know why it's like so so bright um let me see if there's a way for me to fix that hold on okay I just turned off one of my classroom lights so hopefully you can see better but I put up these cute little book buddies above my cabinets and they just look so cute so I love these most of these are the Kohl's cares ones some are from Amazon and I just think they're so cute and then I organized a lot of my books in these cabinets over here this is what this space is looking like I decided to put my microwave out here and my little cart going on more stuff to organize tomorrow I need to find a home for all my Elephant and Piggie books so that is going to be tomorrow's problem not today's problem and I started organizing the desks I don't know I'm really not sure what's going on with this to be honest they are not gonna stay like this but I don't really know what to do with them so they're like that for right now here's the space up here I almost finished my bulletin boards I still need border on this one and then like I don't know something up here my mom put up the alphabet got some stuff going on over there my mom put up the vowel Valley bulletin board and that's looking really good this is not going to stay like this I just have four desks pushed together and then I have a tablecloth on it for open house because I already printed all of my open house stuff and I referenced the back table and how forms would be on the back table but then I moved my back table up to the front of the room so I needed a table for open house so I just pushed some dust together and turned that into a table for now and then I have this over here this is my dollhouse book house which before it was in a little corner so you couldn't see the side so I never painted those so I might paint the sides white we'll see what happens my mom put up the wood wall today which looks so good we worked on the library and got a lot done over here the library's like pretty much done really really close the couch is looking good more Library stuff hung up that tapestry which is actually just a shower curtain from Amazon so fun tomorrow I'm gonna have one of my friends come in and she's going to hang up the affirmation station but back here I ended up doing a little reading Nook so this tapestry is from Tiff in the middle I believe pretty sure on Etsy and it's so cute and then I hung up my little canopy and put some pillows and cushions and stuff over here and yeah so that's that little Nook lots of stuff over here and then also there's a bunch of bins and stuff organized on the shelves and some bins above the shelf as well and all this stuff over here so it's looking really really good again still lots to do but I'm kind of amazed that we got all of this done today like it's a pretty good feeling that it's all coming together slowly but surely it's been a ton of work but it's gonna be worth it when it's all said and done okay so the lighting on this next clip is really very strange I tried my best to change it in editing but I don't know if I did more harm than good so I apologize thank you so much for watching today's
