Classroom Setup VLOG ||2021 2022||

hello this is jennifer from the future introducing this video from the past to say that this is my one and only classroom setup vlog i don't really remember everything that i set up you guys had a sneak peek i think last week when i just came in to look at furniture so i could make an ikea shopping list and then i was out in like an hour or so this week i went in on wednesday for six hours thursday for seven hours and friday which is today for four hours so if i add all of that together in about 18 hours i was able to put my classroom together but that's not including projects that i worked on at home and that took multiple hours so let's just say it took anywhere from 30 to 40 hours to fully get my classroom put together i will be doing a classroom tour later on like probably once it gets closer to starting school i've mentioned this a bajillion times but i wanted to just make sure that i got my room all done and taken care of before i go out of town and then when i come back i don't have to rush to get my classroom set up again so i have all of my lesson planning done all of my copies done and my classroom is all set up however when i come back for teacher planning days planning days it's all meetings probably i haven't got the schedule yet but that way i can just worry about putting the back-to-school night thing together like meet the teacher i can work on that which i can do some of that at home and also just refresh my mind on my lesson plans and make any changes if i need to based on if we get an updated schedule which i'm sure we will but anyways i won't ramble too much because i know that you guys are here for the classroom setup vlog but i just want to talk to you guys about that i don't remember how much i filmed and i just know that i didn't set up my camera a lot um just because i was trying to get it all done by this week and thankfully i did if you guys have any questions at all definitely leave them in the comments below i'm thinking of making a q a um after the setup vlogs slash maybe after my classroom tour or if you guys have questions on specific things that you see that you want to see up close in the classroom tour definitely let me know in the comments below and i will probably get back to those comments um in a week or so just because like i said i'm going to be out of town and also i might be saving my replies for the video so if i don't comment right away you'll know why and anyways without further ado here is my classroom setup vlog [Music] hello friends welcome back to my channel my name is jennifer and i'm a third grade teacher in northern arizona i am starting off this vlog at home just so i don't forget to introduce the vlog but we are going into my classroom i'm starting this the day before because tomorrow i'm gonna be so excited to get into my classroom i'll probably forget to say hello to you guys if you guys remember the last video where i was like tired and just burnt out from all the school projects that was yesterday so tomorrow i'm actually going to school i've already packed up my car with the projects that need to go back to school however there are quite a lot of projects left at home for example those projects right there and all of this stuff right here that i haven't gotten to yet but this is my trunk and we are going to unload that tomorrow we're just gonna pretend that the other projects don't exist because i was just fine at teaching without those projects so whatever gets done before school starts is what gets done but tomorrow is going to be my first official kind of because i already set up furniture and stuff but it's gonna be my first official day for setup so welcome to the first setup vlog of my classroom the 2021-2022 school year [Music] so [Music] [Music] hello friends it is thursday july i don't even know anymore 15th and this is actually day two of classroom setup i didn't show a ton yesterday just because i had people in here helping me and just like in and out and talking to people but i'm gonna just show you what i got done yesterday and part of today and then i'll show you what i still have left to work on so last week i did set up all of my tables as you can tell there's like stuff all over them so the layout is done i just have to clear off the tables but these are all little projects that i'm working on in the little projects you guys are like killing me because they're taking forever but this is my objective board and my levels of understanding i want to make a vinyl title for that this is my door i ended up moving these posters over here and then this is gonna have my five seas posters that whenever we get them back from the office i'm gonna put them up there my tapestry is going up here i moved my student work section back here and i like it a whole lot better i feel like it fits more and then this is what i've been working on that's what i did yesterday and then i put the lights up today and i have to go get another bookshelf next week on monday right now i'm working on my brag tag section and this is killing me because just lining things up perfectly and i have to make a title or find my old one i'm almost done with setup which is my goal i would love to finish setting up by the end of today it is only 11 30. i do have my key officially so i can stay as late as i want i can come in tomorrow when the school is closed i can come on over the weekend but i really not want to but i have things that i have to do like i already have my beginning of the year bulletin board ready to go because it's just a letter from my old third graders to my new third graders that i like to just have up that way i have something up for the first week of school but yeah i'm just gonna work on that brag tag board and then start working on clearing off surfaces because like i said i don't have a ton left to do but it's just all little projects it is my 14th year teaching and how come i've never used a wireless hot glue gun in my life i just put up this poster in like no time and it's stuck to cinder block everyone online says that it works and it comes off just fine i just put up clothes pins i'm waiting for them to dry a little bit so i can hang up my tapestry but this is a game changer i have been using like sticky mount and stuff like this for years and just it takes forever and it doesn't even hold that well i got this from joann's i used a coupon i'm using it forever forever for freaking ever and it is wireless and it charges so i don't even have to put batteries in because i've had a wireless one before but i had to use batteries and whenever i wanted to use it for crafting it was always dead but that that's my new favorite thing it worked it stayed it's cute i love it i'm just about to start making glue sponges because i like having them sit for a few days before using them and i'm definitely not using them right away but look what i realized i got i got two separate compartments because i thought that it would just be bigger this it doesn't fit i know i can cut it but this just seems like a waste so i don't know what i'm going to do i really don't want to like go to the store and re-buy these because like what am i going to do with these and i'm ready quite literally to make them right now i don't know i really don't know unless i like cut it and then this is glue sponge and this is no because if this is glue stick it's just gonna become a mess so i think i'm gonna have to go to the store and re-buy these and not make glue sponges today which is very frustrating i've decided we're gonna make this happen it's not what i was envisioning but we're not gonna be wasteful and we're gonna make this work this is what we're gonna do we're going to cut this sponge in half and we're gonna put one in each side not ideal i've never done this before then we're just gonna put i guess i usually do a whole glue bottle but now we'll just do like half and half and honestly if these don't work out i can literally just replace them in january when they start getting kind of dried out especially with me doing all these interactive notebooks so it could work and now two kids can share a glue sponge and just do like they each do one side and then i do a couple pumps of sanitizer just because it makes it not stink and i feel like it makes it last a whole lot longer now you can't use these yet because the glue has not gone into the sponge but then you literally just cover it keep them right side up like don't store them vertically because the glue will start to seep out even when it's in the sponge and there you go that's a glue sponge all right friends it is 3 20 it's about to start storming according to my watch and it is pretty windy and cloudy but i wanted to be gone by four o'clock today i'm going to show you the room it's not done but i mean i feel like a classroom is never done how you want it oh there's a thunder cumi getting ready to leave but um i literally could have kids tomorrow and i would be ready so i'm just going to show you the classroom and what it looks like i have a lot of stuff i have to organize eventually i want to figure out a way to make that look nicer than it actually is but unfortunately without any built-in storage that's what i'm dealing with so student mailboxes are all ready the door i'm just gonna go quickly just because i will be doing a room tour at some point that's my to-do list i still need to go buy that bookshelf but that won't be until next week i did end up putting my brag tags up this right here is everything i need for lesson planning i'm already done lesson planning um all of this stuff for the first two weeks is in there and then these are my projects that i still have left to work on that way when i actually am back for like real i can sit down and work on that but i'm really proud of the progress that was made i'm gonna turn off all the lights and go i'm gonna go home and work on that to-do list and honestly i'm probably gonna come in tomorrow to finish as much as i can because if i can be done in three days so like yesterday today and tomorrow like completely done before i go on vacation that would be great obviously i'm gonna have to come in on monday to build that bookshelf and bring some stuff that i'm buying at ikea but other than that i'm very excited about this room i hope you guys enjoyed that classroom setup vlog i know it was going to be like a series in my mind but i was like you know what nope we're not going to stretch this out we're going to set up the classroom as quickly as possible as you can tell there's a lot of different things in the room which is why it took me so long otherwise i probably could have finished that room in a day if i just put it exactly how it used to be but i changed the layout i made a lot of new things i put a lot of new things up so that definitely took some extra time not only in the classroom but also at home but i want to thank you guys so much for watching this video if you liked it go ahead and give it a thumbs up and if you want to be notified of future videos go ahead and hit subscribe and until next time happy teaching bye friends [Music] you
