CLASSROOM TOUR 2017 2018 | Teacher Evolution Ep 4

so in this first cabinet huh I can hear the Hallelujah Chorus it is just so beautiful to me I like to do a double border right this cabinet is my favorite this is where all my math manipulatives are look how pretty you guys and I decide to use this as a number talk board so I'm gonna be completing number talks on a daily basis with my students and while I'm here I do have this beautiful new rug that I got from Wayfarer this summer then we come to my other white board and this is kind of like my main board like it has it all going on this black and white striped container came from Target and it's holding all of my beautiful color-coded pens then I have all of my beautiful Sterlite drawers I love these things to death welcome back to my channel I know you guys are super excited for my classroom tour I'm super excited for you guys to see it so I'm gonna keep this talking part pretty short I wanted to start though by saying if you are new to my channel welcome I really hope you will subscribe stick around with me I post a weekly classroom vlog every Saturday morning at 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time basically I just go through my week as a teacher so you guys get a pretty good idea of what I'm going through I'm very honest and open with my feelings and when I'm stressed and overwhelmed I also post a video every Sunday it goes live at 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time just like on Saturday it's typically a sit down video kind of like this and I either give you more information on something like curriculum-based it could be a target home because I tend to go there very often you guys get the point that I have two videos that go up every week and if you do not know who I am hi nice to meet you my name is Michelle 4a I previously taught second grade on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for three years but just over the summer I moved and I'm in a new district I'm in a new school and a new grade level I am now teaching fourth grade math science and social studies I wanted to give you guys one quick warning before I jump into the classroom tour I did film this on Friday afternoon after the first week of school and let me tell you that the school teacher brain is a very real thing and you guys will tell I'm very tired I kind of stumble over my words at points but just bear with me I promise I was doing the best that I could at the time also I was filming it literally at like 9 p.m. and I was terrified that because we're gonna come in and kick me out so that's why I start talking like really really fast because I felt like I was running out of time as I went through the tour I tried to remember to tell you where everything came from and I tried to link as much of this stuff for you in the description box of this video as possible but it for some reason I forgot something just leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can to answer your question without further ado I present to you guys my classroom tour for the 2017-2018 school year I hope you guys enjoy it the first thing I wanted to do was just give you guys like a full scan of the room so I'm standing right by the door when you come in this is exactly how my room looks right next to the door I do have a trash can that says a Rubbermaid I think it's like a 10 gallon trash can but anyway I got this off of Amazon it's pretty cheap it's about $10 I recommend labeling it with both your name and room number because if you send a kid with a trash can to the nurse the trash can does not always come back with the kids so just a good recommendation so you don't end up losing your trashcan now this under here this container came from Target I used it to store paper when I moved classrooms but I kind of had it left over so I'm using it right now to store cards I have 24 cards in there and I also have regular playing cards that I will end up putting in there as well I love having this little ledge like right behind my door and I'm gonna move this because it's bothering me it just comes really in handy so every morning we have to stand by our door from 855 to 915 as students are coming in and I always have coffee so I'd love to be able to put the coffee here on the ledge and I also put this little door sup this is a stoppie doorstop it works really really well my kids know how to use it and I highly recommend it it's just a little bit cuter and kind of like funky looking compared to a regular like what in doorstop then I just have a plain desk right here I do have my students sign in and out when they go to the bathroom or band or chorus or the nurse or the office any place like that just so in the case of an emergency I would know where they are and I could quickly grab this as I go out the door to make sure I have all of my students this sign up she actually wanted my team teachers made I'm gonna work on making my own but right now that is not a priority whatsoever I have a huge thing of hand sanitizer cuz goodness knows kids are germy and then I have a thing of tissues next I'm gonna come up here because I have these beautiful book bins that I got from really good stuff I use them in second grade for my student book bins however I do not have a purpose for them now so honestly this sounds horrible but they are just sitting on top of these cabinets to make it look colorful and to make it look pretty feel free to judge me now I will go across the countertop so this is just a basic file box and I labeled it with this label graded papers this label is the same as my Sterilite drawer labels I'll show you guys those over by my desk but this is just the black one and I use the font future of condensed medium so this is where my graded papers will go these are aqua blue file folders I got off of Amazon I still need to label them with student names or numbers I haven't decided how I'm gonna label them yet it probably would be smarter to do numbers but because I have so many different kids I don't know my students don't really know numbers right now because they go to different home run teacher so I don't know I will figure it out but this is how I'm doing graded papers rather than the big mailboxes that I had from store X in my second grade classroom if you saw my classroom tour last year this is just a little bit different of a system so I'm gonna try it and see how I like it then we come over here to these clipboard organizers I absolutely love these because I feel like clipboards are really hard to store like efficiently but these work really really well they are supposed to hold 12 each but sometimes you can fit some extra ones in there you can get it up to like 14 or 15 now these came from really good stuff and I will warn you they are kind of pricey they're like 40 dollars each so for two of them that's eighty dollars and I am totally aware that that's a lot of money this was a splurge that I did last summer for my classroom they come wood and then the metal pieces are blue i spray-painted mine black just to keep it consistent you'll notice they're empty because I currently do not have clipboards the old clipboards I had belonged to my school and I had to leave them behind and I have yet to get new ones so that is on my list of things to get next we come to these I think they're called like magazine bins or something like that these bins come from Big Lots they usually only have them during like back-to-school time I think they're supposed to be for college but I love these bins I have so many of them you're gonna see them all across my classroom this blue one I got last year and this green one actually I've had for a couple years I haven't seen this color in a while they're about three dollars and like I said they're from Big Lots now these little labels that are on them papers to go home and then Wednesday folders those are not in my TBT store yet but I promise they will be coming I'm gonna put out just like an assorted label so they come in tons of different sizes so can use it for things like this so anytime like I get papers from my mailbox I have to go home I just put them in this bin so at the end of the day I always make sure that I check it so that if there are any papers that I need to go home I make sure they go home I feel like when I put papers on my desk they tend to get lost pretty easily so I like to have them all in one place that I can easily check and then Wednesday folders are how our entire grade level is sending home graded work so our students each have a black folder except for my one friend who has a purple folder so what we will do is on like on a Wednesday afternoon probably during Deer time one of my student jobs is my mailman they will take the graded papers put them into the Wednesday folders my students will take it home and get it signed so that I know that the papers actually made it home bring it back in and turn it back into this bin I always have the basic sink area so we have this built in like paper towel holder I do have an air freshener up there currently I do not have any air freshener in it I am waiting to get approval from all of the parents before I actually use air fresheners because I always had people tell me you know spray or Michelle you know you shouldn't do that students are allergic yes I know I always get approval trust me I do have hand sanitizer out and tissues and so but we actually do have to provide our own soap which is something new to me but my sink is always really clean I love the custodians here they keep everything super spotless we do have a water fountain in our room this is another one of those magazine bins from Big Lots that cost three dollars no idea why this is here it just kind of got put there and I haven't moved it so I don't know what that's gonna be he is four back here I have this little sign today's a great day to learn something new I got this from the target dollar spot a year or two ago I believe it was one dollar same thing with this little black like glass jar I got that from the target dollar spot it was one dollar and inside I just have a thing of flowers from Dollar Tree and while I'm over here I'll go ahead and show you under the sink so I have these really ugly green containers that you can see back there that had math manipulatives and them and I was not about to have those in my classroom because they were hideous to me and I'm super OCD and I have to have all my stuff match so I shirt each eclis just kind of shoved them under the cabinet feel free to judge me this little black container is from Target this is holding like extra bags and extra tissues and things like that and then this is a little fold up stool that I got from Target I had this for a second grade because most my students couldn't reach the water fountain not really a problem in fourth grade but I just keep it here in case I need to reach something in the cabinet so now I'm gonna go across these cabinets and then I will come down to these cabinets I am fully aware that I'm super fortunate to have all of this storage trust me I count my blessings on a daily basis so in this first cabinet haha I can hear the Hallelujah Chorus it is just so beautiful to me so these are Sterilite lock top boxes I get these from Amazon you can also find them not very many places at least in this blue color Target does carry green but if you want this aqua I think it's called aquamarine if you want this blue color you need to get them either from Amazon or from I think Big Lots has them and Family Dollar those are about the only places I can find them so this is the medium size bin this is the small size bin and then I'll show you in the other cabinet what the mini bin looks like these medium size bins usually cost about 350 if you can get them for pretty cheap the small bins usually like 250 and then the mini bins that I'll show you are usually about a dollar now these labels are not in my store you hit I do have labels that are this size but they're black with like different colored washi tape clipart I will light those for you down below if you're interested in those these ones will be out soon I promise I'm working on it I will have them at different colors along with black and white but I just love having all of my stuff labeled so that I can easily find it when I need it and I just love opening this cabinet and seeing them all there and just so you can get a close-up I have small stamps dry erase markers dry erase markers binder clips sticky notes index cards velcro dots liquid glue tape rolls hole punches cap erasers big erasers extra scissors sharpies plain pencils decorative pencils permanent markers regular markers thin markers highlighters cran Boxes cran boxes hot glue glue sticks and glue sticks no idea why I said it like that now I'll come to the second cabinet again hallelujah chorus' because it looks beautiful with all my vans except for there's three that are not labeled don't judge me it's bothering me trust me they will be labeled soon so I mentioned the mini Benz these are the mini Benz you can usually find them for like a dollar maybe a dollar 50 but I typically bought them for a dollar at like Family Dollar now this cabinet has a lot more like craft kind of supply so I'll just go through it again feathers pom pom balls cotton balls buttons craft sticks which are like popsicle sticks clothespin beats yarn rolls yarn rolls brushes paint bottles paint bottles these are currently holding envelopes because I have a ton of envelopes I will make labels for them but I just didn't have time assorted punches extra extra paperclips sharpeners glitter ribbon spools bells gems sequins shells and Wiggly eyes extra book rings batteries some extra magnets extra rubber bands balloons command strips adhesives labels letters and washi tape next cabinet this one actually makes me pretty happy as well so these are larger Sterilite containers but they're the same lock top bin so they have like that blue locking piece on the side so these ones that you see up here these are the large bins you can get these in a six pack on Amazon that's how I buy mine and then these are the deep bins so these are where I carry a lot of extra supplies so I have like paper folders plastic folders file folders hanging file folders spiral notebooks composition books page protectors lamination decorative paper posters like posters that came with my classroom that I don't want to display cuz they're kind of ugly old read-aloud books that I did with my second-grade class and sets of like literature circle books that I also do with my second grade class and then this cabinet above the sink is where I put a lot of extra light cleaning type supplies hand sanitizer tissues up here is my Tetris wall of tissues I literally have it packed in there as tight as possible this has all hand sanitizer and dish soap this black container came from Big Lots they were 350 you can again find them during back-to-school time just like those magazine files that I showed you then I have extra Clorox wipes and then these are all extra like Ziploc baggies and that's that same black container and then this is a feather duster and it's hanging on a command strip next I'll come into the cabinet stone here so this is a lot of books so andr dry erase leaves not that those really belong but these are Irish scrapbooking containers you can find these online on Amazon you can also find them at Michael's I do not buy them from Michaels unless they are on sale for three for ten I do not pay more for them than that I only buy them on sale regularly they're like ten dollars and I would pay that for one thats insane so I use these to hold a lot of like read aloud books oh and are a sleaze I have like holiday real loud books holiday read aloud books beginning of the year type books science books and social studies books these were all books that I used in my second grade class not gonna need it now that I'm teaching math sides and social studies I may use some of the science or social studies books but probably not many of them down here is all interactive read aloud books these go with our County curriculum even though we're departmentalized and I do not teach reading I still have to store our ASA in my classroom so I just have them down here these bins I have no idea where they came from because they were provided by the county along with the labels all right next cabinet this is where a lot of extra student supplies are so my students all had to bring in two packs of line paper all the teachers collected all of them and we have them stored in these bins we will take them out as needed and then whatever's left at the end of the year we can divvy up and get back to them down here these are all extra composition books and I had some extra like pencil cases that I just threw in there and this entire container is filled with pencils I'm so excited so again these are all supplies that the students brought in we do community supplies like our students take what they need and the rest goes to us and we just divvy it out as needed if there are different opinions on community supplies if I want my classroom to be a family I don't have a problem with my student sharing supplies it hasn't really been a problem with parents either these are the extra lids for these three containers since they go up higher than the band I couldn't put the lid on them these containers I got from Target but these are just like Sterilite containers I don't remember the exact size but I will try to link them for you down below last cabinet over here these are more of those iris scrapbooking containers and these are just a lot of extra supplies that I have so I have like some stem supplies just random stuff that I have cardboard pieces extra bags like extra stuff log bags I have a lot of Ziploc bags you guys foil and pipe cleaners cardboard tubes miss phrase Legos and then some Lego flats the Legos I got off of Amazon they are off-brand Legos they are not Lego brand but there were much much cheaper and then the Lego flats same thing not Lego brand but they are much cheaper this container I got from the Container Store and these labels are the same labels that I showed you up here on these bins they are not in my TPT store yet but stay tuned that they will be in there soon I promise and then down here I have two more of those big Sterlite containers containing extra supplies this one has highlighters and dry erase markers and this one is filled with post-it notes which is like a teacher's dream now we will actually share all of the teachers together so like the reading teachers they use most of the post-its so whenever they need post-its we'll just come get them out of here now I am over at these three big closets which is insane to me in my old classroom I only had one of these and it had to store a lot of stuff like from the school so I didn't have a lot of room in it I was in heaven when I saw that I had three of them so I'll start with the posters that are up here these are a quest for quality questioning posters no idea where they come from they were provided by my County and they have to be up but I put them up on here and I was like they're kind of ugly so I just added whiteboard debt around it you can get board that off of Amazon it's pretty cheap it comes in like a really big roll I just hot glued it on to the cabinet I test it first to make sure that the hot glue was gonna be okay it came off perfectly fine so I have to loot them to ensure that he will stay up all year and then for this little like I don't know a title thing if you want to call it that the only reason I have it there is because there were 11 posters and it was driving me nuts that I had this blank space so I just decided to cut out letters with my Cricut so I printed them or actually I didn't print them um these I printed on cardstock laminated and cut out by hand these I got smarter and realized you could do it with your Cricut so I just laminated plain white construction paper cardstock laminated it and then use my Cricut to cut out the rest of the letters and I just attached those with clear transparent tape I will start with this first cabinet this is where a lot of my indoor recess materials are so down here this is a laundry basket that I got from Target it has a bunch of like fake food like felt food it has fake utensils it has a tablecloth my students love to play restaurant my second graders left it my fourth graders loved it and I love seeing them be imaginative so a lot of the fake food I got from home goods like in their toy section and I've just collected stuff over time I store it in this big like then I also have plastic bullying pieces in there because my students saw them in one of my containers and I wasn't using that feels like sure I guess you guys gonna have him for recess now this little cart holds those same scrapbooking containers by iris but it actually comes with a set of six and the cart I highly recommend it it's only like I don't know 31 dollars which for all of those containers and the cart is absolutely amazing I decided to use this to store recess materials because I hate indoor recess materials being like all just on top of each other and a hot mess I like them to be very organized and again these labels are the exact same labels that you've seen on all of those other stir not Sterilite iris scrapbooking containers y'all it's Friday after the first week of school I am very tired so this first one has like trouble games and I have the game boards in here and then the pieces are stored in these little snack containers that I got from Dollar Tree you can get them either two or three for a dollar and then I have the directions in there and the directions are laminated then I have battleship games actually when my team teachers had this she didn't want it so I was like sure I'll take them then I have some guests who games actually these are like ripoff Guess Who games that I got from Target they're called who's left but there were only a couple dollars again laminated directions pieces are stored in these snack containers from Dollar Tree then I have recess Legos these all came from the target dollar spot I think there were like three dollars for a bag several bags in here I got these because they're cheaper and that's why I let my students use them for recess but my boys especially love using Legos then I have Jenga blocks actually I got these from Goodwill for only a couple dollars and sometimes they play Jenga sometimes they just build with them and then I have Lincoln Logs that again I got from Goodwill now this right here is just a game board that was too big to fit in one of these containers so I just slid it between the cart and the wall and most of my games are up here in these two containers now this engineering ants I actually got that again from Goodwill but I have not even opened it so I haven't let my students use it yet this one sorry I just hit a chair this song has assorted games so let me try to pull it out for you guys I have like chutes and ladders I have like sorry in there and again all the pieces are organized into these plastic snack containers that come from Dollar Tree I love these containers I use them from for absolutely everything they can store an entire deck of cards perfectly they also can store an entire 24 pack of crayons perfectly so I highly recommend them if you come across them at Dollar Tree and then this one down here is like oh sorry I'm shaking Connect four and some card games and they're pretty much stored in the same way some of the bigger like card games are in these are sandwich containers where those things from Dollar Tree they're only a dollar and then over here I just have looking fine but so my students are welcome to use and then these are little felt pieces that I got from Target dollars thought they were $3 and it just has like felt tracks and cars and stuff like that then I have these larger Sterilite containers again same exact label these are like the Loctite one so they're technically waterproof and I just use these to hold a whole bunch of extra supplies that I have so this one has like extra containers it's literally a container of containers this one has extra consumables to things like plastic forks plastic knives bags napkins cops all that kind of stuff is in here this one has extra thick core material so extra bourdette that's like the white stuff that I showed you around the posters on these cabinets that's just some extra blue and some extra pink some extra felt stuff like that down here these are what I call like fun materials so I have an inflatable bowling set I have inflatable dice I have like these bingo toppers that I just used for a whole bunch of different things this is just random stuff you guys these are like blank books that I got from Target dollar spot and haven't used like sentence strips I don't know just a bunch of random stuff and then this is mostly science materials I have things like extra cotton balls shaving cream vinegar flour just write up stuff I use for experiments now I kinda don't even want to show you up here you'll see I have extra shelves just kind of hanging there I have shelves but I do not have any more of these plastic pieces so that's why they're hanging out I ideally would love to put another shelf up there but right now I can't so it's just holding like some extra caddies this is my treasure box which honestly I don't think I'm gonna keep I kind of want to get away from a treasure box and like purchased prizes for students I like to give them things that you don't have to spend money on to things like stinky feet and lunch bunch these are some extra of those like Sterilite lock top containers these are the old labels that I had on them those are the black and washy labels which are in my TPT store now if you want them but right now I just don't have a need for those containers and then these are like extra used markers extra used crayons and extra used dry erase erasers alright this cabinet is my favorite this is where all of my math manipulatives are look how pretty you guys okay first of all up there I'm missing one because the second-grade teacher across the hall borrowed so my counter so she has those right now I have number tiles and these are the same black bins that you get from Big Lots they cost three dollars and fifty cents during back-to-school time highly recommend them they are very thick plastic now these let me grab and hold on so these are mathematical dates that were provided like when I came into my classroom these were in here they're literally just tiles that have numbers on them and I'm storing them in these little containers from Dollar Tree you can get these ten for a dollar they have them in both square and circles this one up here is holding dice nothing too fancy about that this one is holding Domino's and you'll see they're literally just thrown in there this one is holding all of my hundred blocks and this is holding base ten blocks so a bunch of like tens and ones basically the extra ones because I have the other ones organized a different way these are all of my geo boards and they're just stacked in there and then the rubber bands these are old crystal light containers I just take off the label and I store rubber bands in there then I have a pattern block some people call them tangrams same thing over here protractors and rulers nothing fancy about that but these are really excited for so we had a ton of fraction towers and actually they have fractions they have decimals they have like I don't know a whole bunch of different like representations on the side and they were all in these hot mess baggies and I hate hate hate storing math manipulatives and plastic baggies because they do not last and the students are rough on them and they rip and they tear and I'm not about that life so here's the solution these are sandwich containers from Dollar Tree they cost one dollar I have been traveling to all of the dollar trees around me and taking all of them you'll see I still need to get more I need to get about seven more the rest of them are in baggies stored away fright now because I don't want to look at them but these fraction towers fit perfectly so if you teach upper elementary and you have fraction towers just like this I highly recommend you try these containers originally I wanted to get all the same color and I was like Michelle you cannot be that picky so I just have assorted colors whatever colors I'm finding I am grabbing then down here a little bit less exciting this is a big like Sterilite container clean all of the ugly math manipulatives that didn't really go with anything else like big gallon containers and like court measurements and pipe measurements and stuff like that and then these are calculators and just a warning this closet is like my hot mess okay I think every teacher is entitled to one this one does lock so over here I want to get into the habit of storing like my jackets in here I'm also gonna keep a pair of boots in here because we have to go out to dismissal and we have to stay outside until our last student is dismissed and even if it's raining we have to be out there so I did invest in rain boots I'm gonna keep those in here this is my little photo prop sign that I had for meet the teacher night I just stored it in here so I can use it again next year these are just containers that I had gotten from Dollar Tree I used to use them as like table trash cans but right now I'm using them to hold like meter sticks and York sticks and I am using some of my hangers to hold a bulletin board borders so here's how I did it I clip them all together with a binder clip and then one of them had like the little hole up here and I just strung it over top of the hanger and it works and then here I have like a tote bag if I have extra stuff to carry home I can just grab this tote bag to carry it home and this was I think like $1 from the target dollar spot these are extra math manipulatives this just happen to fit perfectly right there so that's where I've put it I honestly haven't even looked through the container up here's a lot of like holiday stuff so I have like plastic eggs cauldrons whole bunch of random stuff so I just kind of shoved it back there this also is holiday stuff now these labels are not the same as those other ones I've been showing you these ones are a little bit bigger but this will be included in that like assorted label pack that I'm putting together for TPT I have them organized by months and it's just kind of some decor stuff so I have like October is Halloween stuff November is Thanksgiving stuff December is Christmas stuff February's Valentine's Day stuff March is st. Patrick's Day stuff and April is Easter stuff and then these are some random activities so like the basketball stuff I usually use in March for March Madness for some math activities then I have for kind of embarrassing I have four of these packs of containers these come from Michael's and they're just like assorted little photo boxes I have one set of clear and three sets of colored I plan to use them to store task cards notice I said plan because right now they are not holding test cards the clear ones do have task cards that I use to second grade but these three colored ones are empty don't judge me I got them on sale this is some random stuff this box up here is filled with like memory items so stuff students have given me cards notes stuff like that I love to pull that out if I'm having a bad day and then these items right here are what I use for like a class picnic it's like a math and reading day that I do and I just store those in here for now this shelf has a bunch of like boxes of Tecna Lachie type stuff that I have to keep in the classroom except for this one right here the one that says made in the USA that actually is a like drawer saying that I ordered but I'm not gonna in abusing but I'm kind of too lazy to send it back so I'm just honing it on until I end up using it for something down here this container has a lot of dress-up stuff I used it a lot in second grade because I always took on like character roles for lessons and I'd like to have props but I'm gonna hold on to it because who says you can't do that for fourth grade - now these drawers are a hot mess like I said this is my hot mess cabinet this kind of has a bunch of stuff these little like suitcase type things came from Michaels I think they're like 2 or 3 dollars they're just holding extra like no cards extra adhesive pockets stuff like that this was the core I had up in my second grade room that I'm not using same thing with this these are birthday certificates but there's only like 18 in here oh no 24 and I have way more than that for students this bag has a bunch of old like decor stuff that I used and some old like math games and I'm not using anymore and this is a big CD case this is actually how I store bulletin board letters and then this one down here has a whole bunch of other holiday stuff and extra note cards especially for Halloween I have way more stuff than what can fit in this container so I kind of just ended up throwing it in here that way I can close it and forget about it next we come to my first white board and I decide to use this as a number talk board so I'm gonna be completing number talks on a daily basis with my students and I wanted a space to do that so first of all this fan I got off of Amazon I actually gave this to Billy as a Christmas gift a couple years ago but my room is really hot like I have air-conditioning kind of but it puts out air it doesn't actually put out like coldness so I have this fan going all day every day because it's super super hot in here this is an extra large Expo eraser I got this off of Amazon highly recommend it because it makes the racing so much easier this black and white polka dot border is actually magnetic border you can get this off of Amazon as well now these signs I made they are not in my TPT store yet if you guys want them I can put them in there these are the hand signals that you use for number talks so just a closed fist in front of you means I'm thinking of a solution you put up your thumb when you have one solution and one strategy then you add a finger for every additional strategy you come up with and when you agree with someone you use the I agree which is pinky and a thumb and you kind of rock it back and forth like sign language these letters up here I just printed cut out and put magnets on the back this spot is AG sorry not sorry that comes from Amy Groesbeck and then over here my sentence starters again I made these they're not in my store but I can put them in there if you guys want and again I printed them out and put magnets on them so sentence starters the strategy I used was I agree with blank because I see it a different way because that answer makes sense because can you explain how and so I hear you saying that up here I have growth mindset posters I got these off of TPT I can link them for you I just thought that they were beautiful I printed them out I glued them on to a strobe rights heart shot and laminated them and they are hanging up there with sticky clips which you can get off of Amazon and then I am fortunate enough to have a smart board I know not everyone does trust me I count my blessings every single day these little fairy lights around them came from Amazon I think they're like 13 feet long I just connected them let me see where one is right there with these little hold on these little command hooks they're super super tiny I will link them for you down below but I just put like three on each side so I have like one in the middle one at the bottom one at the top and I just kind of strung the lights around I love these lights because you can actually put them on a timer and there's like eight different settings that you can use and everyone who comes into my room is like oh I love those so I haven't recommend you get these it's like 13 or 14 dollars I think it's totally worth it the batteries last for a hundred and twenty hours and I love that they're battery operated so that I do not have to have them plugged in and while I'm here I do have this beautiful new rug that I got from Way Fair this summer it was probably around $100 I want to say it's a 5 by 7 size but I will link it for you in the description then next to my smart board I have these three little hanging jars these each came from Target they were only a dollar and they are hanging on command hooks so the reason I have three one is for my homeroom one is for my block one and one is for my block two these are equity sticks so basically they're gonna have the kids names on them and I use them to make sure that I'm calling on different students and not always calling on the students that just raise their hand now I did something different this year so I have color-coded my classes so my homeroom class I'm going with like the color orange burn my black one it's pink and then for my - it is blue so I painted half the stick that color so what I will do is you'll notice like right now all the pink ones are standing up after I call in a student I will flip it over and then I knew that that student has been caught on and I need to pick one of the pink sticks then I'll come down here while I'm over here first of all this vase I think I got from Walmart it was only a couple of dollars these hands I got from the target dollar spot they were only a dollar each so of course I got one in every color and then I do have flyswatters because I like to do games where I have students in teams and they have to come up and like the first person just want the right answer wins but they just come in handy especially if you have flies then we come to my other whiteboard and this is kind of like my main board like it has it all going on first of all I have my schedule cards I did make these they're not I might TP to Sharia I promise you guys they are coming I just had a lot on my plate right now so I just printed these out on cardstock laminated them put magnets on the back and this year I decided to have the times just to help keep me on track and my students on track especially because they can actually tell time unlike my second graders and then my cultural art so like music PE art all that good stuff I had just changed those out everyday because the rest of the schedule pretty much stays the same and I store those extra cards in this this is a magnetic pocket I got this off of Amazon and I just stored the extra cards in there and get them out as I need them then I have my I can statement so our school does require us to post ican statements for each subject so I am teaching math science and social studies those labels the ones that say math science and social studies those are actually my Sterilite drawer labels which you guys can see over here those are my TPT store I will link those for you in the description box I just printed them out laminated them put magnets on the back and use them as titles I am gonna have all of my I can't statements in page protectors and I'm gonna have each unit together on these book rings so I can just flip it over each day so these little magnetic hooks came from Amazon I love that they're super strong like I'm pulling on it right now and it's not going anywhere a lot of magnets are really weak and they slide but these ones hold up to like 40 pounds now they're a little bit more expensive but I totally think it is worth it then up here I have the date displayed one thing I absolutely he is writing the date on the board every day I know that sounds stupid but I just hate it so I wanted to come up with a system so I didn't have to do that so I actually typed up all of the months all of the days and then I have the years through like I don't have 20/20 I think and those again are just hanging on little magnetic hooks so at the end of the day I can literally just like take this off and flip it to the next one and it's like super super easy then this Inquirer poster this is provided by our county this is something that we do countywide this little strawberry thing is a timer my team teacher Robin actually got me this from a Japanese store in DC or no they came from like California or something then this little white magnetic holder this came from Target I got it a couple years ago but I did see them there this year this remote is actually the remote for those fairy lights that I showed you on my smart board I just keep it in here this is a wireless presenter if you use power points like even a little bit in your classroom I highly recommend you get one of these it's only like I don't know 15 20 dollars like they're pretty cheap and all you do is you plug in the little USB thing which I'll show you on my computer and you're good to go like you're able to click through your PowerPoint it also has a laser pointer don't know if you can see where is it yeah there you go it has a laser pointer which I just find to come in handy I can like use it to point out stuff really really easily I love this thing like this was an investment for this school year and I'm seriously in love with it like how did I ever survive without this thing and then this is a little magnetic basket I got this a really long time ago I honestly have no idea where I got it from but it just holds my extra magnet then I have this little bookshelf which is provided by my school so up top I have my turnin bins I have my turnin bin for block 1a my turnin bin for block 2 along with this little sign to remind them to highlight their name because they have to highlight it based on their homeroom class so that we can hand out graded papers really easily this is just like a four by six sign and it's a little plastic sign that I got from Dollar Tree I absolutely love it I am also gonna get a little bucket to go there with some extra highlighters for them these little black containers I got from Big Lots they were only a couple of dollars these were empty because I like to have space in my classroom to grow into so like space that I haven't used for anything yet so when something does come up I have a place to put it this one is holding Flickr cards and then this one is holding some management tools so I have I call these smart beads or just like little beads that you can get from the dollar store I these little signs from the dollar store that I'll put on student desk when you're working I have sand timers I have my brain sprinkles this is just a container with glitter and I sprinkle it on the kids head but I have piece of tape on it so only a couple pieces come out of time but I always give that to my students before chess and then these are student gripping pencils these are used to put students into groups without them knowing how you're gonna group them so you can prevent them from trying to get with their friends these came off of Amazon and I've labeled this one but I have not labeled the others because I'm not really sure what I'm gonna use them for yet these again are those Sterilite large containers I'm gonna put graph paper in this one and writing paper in this one then down here these are those same magazine holders from Big Lots they cost three dollars each I got these ones last year they have this pretty blue color I'm gonna use these to store my I can't statements so right here I will have the I can't statements for maths themes one through two math dreams three through four science and then social studies then I have this rainbow cart you can get this tons of places you can get on Amazon or you can get it from Michaels and again these labels will be in my story soon I use this to hold like extra extra copies not like my weekly copies but copies I make like really far in advance so homework copies papers for my homeroom my math exploratory copies that's my block one my math single-subject copies that's my block to science which I teach to both blocks social studies which I teach to both blocks any copies of assessments that I'm gonna use conference forms office referrals and then problem-solving sheets those are actually provided by my school on top I do have five iPads I got these from DonorsChoose and I was fortunate enough to be able to bring them with me this is a charging docking station I got this off of Amazon and these little like cables I got off of Amazon as well they're only like six inches long I hate really long charging cables and the cases came off of Amazon as well they're like kid-friendly cases so even if they drop them iPads are okay I've used these cases for like two years now two and a half years and they've been perfectly fine then I just have a little bit of decoration because who doesn't like decoration first of all let me show you guys so these are my lights are actually motion sensor and what I love about this classroom is not only are there light switches over by the door but there also are light switches here by my desk so when I'm like trying to present something on the smart board and I need to turn off the lights they're right here it's amazing these flowers had for a long time I want to say I got them from Walmart obviously they are fake this little vase I got from the dollar store along with these little pebbles this ceramic Apple I got from the target dollar spot and this is a wax warmer again I do get permission from my students parents but right now I have like a coffee cake one in there I have not turned it on yet only when I'm in here by myself this little paper basket I got from Dollar Tree I just kind of use these for like any loose papers I have rather than like sitting them on my desk I put them in a basket so they actually have a place now I'll show you I have these little lights hanging now I'll be honest they run on batteries and they're not very bright at all so I don't even turn them on I just have them hanging for decoration and they're hanging by those same little command hooks that I hang the fairy of a fairy lights on by my smart board and I got those from target dollar spot a couple years ago I think they were like three dollars now be how did I have this bulletin board it actually was a navy blue color and I was like that does not match so I just put up felt and then I didn't staple because you can't staple into like a bulletin board but or not a bulletin board it was like a pegboard I don't know I don't know what to call it but you couldn't staple into it so I actually just have it held up by little pushpins and for now it's working I don't even know if I'm gonna display anything on here I just kind of sorry my camera's have been focusing issues I just wanted it to look a little bit prettier and more well put together then I have all of my beautiful Sterlite drawers I love these things to death I got these from several different places like Target and Walmart Amazon all kinds of places you can find these most of times are only white the black ones are really hard to come by these labels are editable and in my TPT store there might Sterlite drawer labels now this font if you want the exact same font it actually is a paid font but I have pre-made labels like all the labels you see here are actually pre-made but if you want it to edit your own you either have to use your own font or you would have to buy the spot to have the exact same one but this is where I store weekly copies so I have Monday through Friday and then extra papers papers to grade copy and file and then I have scholastic from when I taught second grade I'm gonna have to change that one out but then I have things to laminate and things for classroom volunteers this little flower vase I got from Walmart I think there's only a couple dollars but it's black and white stripe and anyone who knows me knows that I love things that are black and white striped this little sloth doll if you guys don't know me my favorite animal is a sloth I actually got this from Florida when I was at the TPT conference two years ago I got it with my friend Chelsea so I tell my kids his name is said the soething he just kind of sits here and then this starlight drawer system has like a little organizer on top so I keep extra oh my gosh you guys paper clips and then I have a Stamper that I use to stamps you and agendas and then a couple extra binder clips and I'll go ahead and show you the top so these teach letters I got from the target dollar spot this summer same thing with the pink letters these containers I got from Walmart these actually are my old word work bins I obviously don't need them anymore but I don't feel like taking them home so I just have them sitting up there because they kind of look pretty now I have these two open areas so these little containers came from the dollar store Dollar Tree I actually don't do not have anything in them right now they're empty but they look good then I have my teacher toolbox so this toolbox originally was gray I spray painted it black I got the toolbox from Lowe's but you can also get them on Amazon I will link the one from Amazon down below these labels are my TPT store and they do come in all the different colors along with black and white and again I do have pre-made labels but they're also editable if you want to create your own if you don't have a teacher toolbox in your classroom I highly recommend you make on it was one of the best choices I ever made now I'll show you in my cabinets these are some other iris containers from Amazon they're kind of expensive I only get them when they go on sale but these are holding all of my colored construction paper and then these are holding like DVDs so like books on tape and just random like movies like Charlie Brown stuff that I use around the holiday times these containers came from Ikea and then in this one these are all curriculum books provided by my County so those are just stored in there and then these are a lot of my curriculum binders that I have for myself these two binders were already in the classroom when I got here but I have school information at parent communication substitute binder homeroom student data block one student data block two student data and then just a general math sites and social studies binder I am working on getting editable binder covers and binder spines in my TPT store but again they are coming then I have two more of those paper containers from Dollar Tree not really sure what they're gonna be used for but they look good then I have some of those book bins that I have storing like up there about the cabinet I stole one of each color and put them down here to hold materials so CES that's our school abbreviation those are just like my office folder and my money folder stuff like that goes in there and then I have math books that I use pretty often science books that I use often and social studies books that I use often this container came from the Container Store and this has my candy these are the same black containers that were over here on the bookshelf those again came from Big Lots they're only a couple of dollars this one has mints which I like to give my students when they work on a test and then this one just has like I don't know extra random stuff like these are those little agenda markers these are the mini Sterlite drawers and again these labels are in my TPT store they are editable just like all of these Sterilite drawer labels so this one actually is holding all of my extra pieces for my letter board so this one has words and phrases this one has all of the months and then this one has all of the assorted letters then I have these paper trays which came from Walmart and they are holding all of my Astro brights paper now we are at my actual desk area all of this is built in around my desk which is so nice I cannot even lie you guys these ABC letters came from the target dollar spot they are just hanging on the wall with command hooks in the corner I have my Keurig and this holds a little courage class I have a water bottle from teachers pay teacher's my phone this little bin right here is just holding random stuff these were all pencils that were left on the floor today this is my projector remote and I have like hand sanitizer and this is a little Stamper that we use for our school-wide like incentive program then I have another one of the mini sterilized drawers again these are my editable labels in my TPT store so I have nurse motes cup kudos which is our school-wide I can send a program and then stickers for when I am grading and this little blue lamp was only five dollars at IKEA best purchase ever then I have a hole puncher tape dispenser and stapler this black and white striped container came from Target it was like seven or eight dollars and it's holding all of my beautiful color-coded pens this little clear container I think I got a Dollar Tree and it's just holding like scissors staple remover whiteout hole puncher stuff like that this black container I have no idea where it came from but it is holding like markers and colored pencils things that I would use for like anchor charts this gold container I got from the target dollar spot and it's holding post-it notes then I just have my lesson planning binder sitting here this is in my TPT store I highly recommend you check it out because I've had a lot of people say like no other planners worked for them except mine and it's super super editable and it's just super versatile like you can use it for a lot of different things so if you're looking for lesson planning finder now I still need to clean mine out from last year but this is just kind of what it looks like I do have a video about it on my channel I do have a coaster here actually one of my old team teachers got this for me and I just keep it by my desk this little thing I got from Hobby Lobby and I use it to hold like whatever sticky note I have like at the moment this is a card one of my sweet babies gave me today saying like thanks for having a great week Reese's Cup was given to me by a student today hallelujah I do have a desktop computer this mousepad I want to say I got from the target dollar spot as well this is a small microphone that I can actually use because I have speakers up in my ceiling that's not a speaker I don't know what that is that's a speaker over there and that's a speaker I'm so that's super super nice and then I have my document camera this right here is a clip-on cup holder that I got from Amazon and it's literally the most amazing thing because you know your drinks always like leak and I hate when it's on my desk so it Clips right here and I don't have to worry about it now I'll come back over here this top drawer just has little baskets that I got from Dollar Tree and it's holding like extra extra markers and pens that do not fit in that current caddy and then the second drawer is kind of like my me drawer this has a bunch of like hygiene stuff just like lotion perfume deodorant stuff like that these are extra books that I give to students as incentives extension cord and some tools and then down here this is like a file thing so I'm actually not going to open that cuz it has student names but it's just like a file drawer then I have my refrigerator which I'm super excited about because of my old school you had to pay an energy fee to have one every year and I didn't want to do that so I never had a fridge but here you just had to buy the fridge and then you don't have to pay anything so I got this one from Walmart it was only 50 dollars and I'll show you on the inside it is stocked with like green tea and normally yeah I was going to say there's like some Coke Zero vanilla in there as well this is another one of those magnetic pocket I got them in a three pack from Amazon and this is my easy crater and they're sitting on top I have my paper cutter and my Scotch laminator I kept a laminator both at home and at school and then right there is where I put my school bags then I have this desk drawer this little organizer came from Target so I have like my remote for my document camera some notepads really large they're clips some little stamps my mom is a demonstrator for stamping up so she actually gave these to me a long time ago and she knew I was gonna be a teacher and they have some gum hand sanitizer and chapstick actually a student gave this to me this week so that was really nice little thing of sticky notes and some more envelopes and then this is actually a bigger microphone that again connects to those speakers up in my ceiling then I have another trash can by my desk again it's one of the Rubbermaid ten gallon trash cans and I put binder clips on the side to help hold the trash bag on there because whenever you're throwing away a lot of stuff it tends to fall inside and the binder clips help prevent that this is another one of those paper bins from Dollar Tree that I got and I just labeled it homeroom turn in bin um this little label is not in my store I just kind of made it it's like my stare like drawer labels but a little bit thinner so this is where my homeroom puts any notes that they need to turn in to me in the morning this little guy came from the target dollar spot it was a dollar this is a mail box I have for any students I want to write me notes this letter board came from Target and the I showed you over here a little Sterilite mini thing that's holding all the letters and stuff so right now I just have to do be awesome and then I have some tissues and then these bins also came from Dollar Tree and these little labels again will be in my store so this one is Box Tops this one is cubby of the week which is like a school-wide thing we do and then councillor forms and I just hole punch them and I have them hanging on with book rings then down here I have big starlight tubs these are holding a lot of my second grade materials that I really don't need so I just kind of put them over here kind of under my desk to help hide them and actually this little drawer system right now there's nothing in it and I'm trying to keep it that way if I end up using it for something I will if not I'll end up taking it home I have some more of this magnetic border just around like my air-conditioned unit here this sign came from Target but the dollar spot this little caddy came from Oh The Container Store so I'm gonna use this for like any materials that I use at small-group and that label is the same label that I had over here I have another thing of the Sterlite mini drawers this one has nurse notes band-aids and just small supplies so I don't like to have to get up from my small group table and go over to my desk to get those materials so I like to keep them over here for easy access along with another stapler another tape dispenser scissors and like some markers and things and I'll go ahead and show you the decorations that are on this window ledge that sign over there came from Target and then I have these vases of flowers vases are from Dollar Tree the little pebbles are from Dollar Tree and the flowers are from Dollar Tree so I just have them spaced periodically that's a book that we read for growth mindset the most magnificent thing check it out if you have it it's magnificent these little candles came from Dollar Tree as well and I just have them kind of spaced along this little like fishbowl came from Target or not Target sorry Dollar Tree as well along with the pebbles I just put that there is that extra decoration sorry guys I'm trying to hurry up it's like 9:30 at night and I need to get out of here and so I just have these scattered along the windowsill and then I have these three containers I got them at IKEA but I have no idea what I'm going to use them for so I just kind of have them there for decoration you will notice that is a reoccurring theme in my classroom this container I got from Walmart this is where my students put library books that they get from the media center when they are done with them they will put them here and will take them the next time we go to media so when I got into my classroom I actually had two tables back here they were kind of in an L shape but I had to get rid of them because I did not have enough room with my desk so I only have one table now I do keep a little trash can over here this came from Big Lots and then I use the stools from Ikea they're only five dollars each and five of them sect on top of each other fits perfectly under the table so I can store them out of the way these magnetic pockets come from store X they are kind of pricey but they work really really well like you can put an entire like pack of paper in here and it will hold them right now don't really know what I'm gonna use them for umm you'll notice they were labeled for my second grade classroom and I need to take the labels off and redo it this pillow I've had for a really long time no idea where I got it this black rug in my library I actually got from Target during back-to-school time and it was like $15 and this is after using it for like a year and it still looks perfectly new beanbag I got from big lot clique three years ago it's super super flat I don't think my kids even like it but whatever I keep it here this little chair I got for Half Price from Target so it's originally $80 I got it for $40 now we come to my library which I'm fortunate enough to have built in little library shelves which is awesome so these black bins are those same magazine bins from Big Lots there were $3 each I use these to hold mostly my picture books and then these color bins I got from Dollar Tree and I use these to hold a lot of my chapter books so up here these are my library labels they are my TPT store I have tons of different options for them take a look at it they are not editable yet but I do plan on making them editable but if you email me I can always feel like special requests until I actually make them editable so the labels up here are just taped on with clear package it not clear packaging tape just like transparent tape these ones are hole punched and attacked attacked attached with book rings I'm so sorry you guys I'm really tired right now stick with me I promise I'm getting there I Mama's done these are book buddies these are like stuffed animals my students can read too most of these came from poles they have like the little five dollar stuffed animals and it goes to charity and it's they're just sitting in a bin that I got from the Dollar Tree you guys my brain is dying right now then I have my read letters they do light up but I really don't turn them on very often because the batteries hide very very fast but these came from Target they're metal so they're pretty heavy first of all no that is not a camera that is my motion sensor for my lights I actually made my own bulletin board up here because I needed a place to display student work so I didn't put anything on in the background I just put bourdette up and we're not allowed to staple into the wall so I attached it with pushpins I just laminated a strobe rights paper I put them up with sticky tack you can kind of see it through the yellow one it's like poster putty kind of stuff I get it off of Amazon super super cheap can also get it from Walmart and then I will hang up the student work with these sticky clips which I get off with Amazon and for the letters again I just cut those out with my Cricut and they're just like laminated card stock these colored drawers come from Michael's they are very expensive I did get them on a very good sale when I taught second grade I use these to store my rooted in reading right now honestly I have no idea what I'm gonna use them for possibly or wholly finisher activities these containers come from Dollar Tree they are perfect for storing base ten blocks you'll see the hundreds fit in the middle tens on the side and ones on the side so I love these and this is another one of those little five dollar lamps from Ikea then I have my first actual bulletin board so first of all in the background I use black belt I buy it by the yard at Walmart it's super super cheap and I've used this belt for a couple years now and it's still in perfect condition I highly highly recommend using like just solid colored felt for your background border it lasts forever these letters again cut them with my Cricut they are laminated cards I like to do a double border so this black and white striped border I got off of Amazon and then that is pink bourdette so they both came off of Amazon I recommend hot gluing them together first and then stapling them up just to make sure that it stays consistent and then these are just dry erase pockets I'm gonna use this as a focus board so whatever we are working on in science and social studies I will put up there and then I still have room at the bottom I could put more up there as well and I do have one computer here and then two more computers over here for my students to use I have another one of those Sterilite tubs using stuff from second grade that I do not use anymore this big black bin came from Big Lots it was $10 I use it to hold my scoop rockers which my scoop rockers came from Walmart there were only like $3 apiece I have five of them three pink ones two blue ones so this container perfectly holds all five then I have some more of those magnetic pockets from store X again I need to real able them this little thing came from Target and actually I got it like two years ago and I didn't know what I was gonna use it for but now I'm gonna use it as absent work so Monday will be pink Tuesday orange Wednesday green Thursday blue and Friday purple so my students from my different blocks will have to come check the folders and these are just hanging up there with those same magnetic hooks that I used up front then I have my anchor chart display these are bulletin board letters that I got off of Amazon and I laminated them and just put magnets on the back and then this silver thing is a magnetic curtain rod you can get it from Walmart for only a couple of dollars and I hang up my anchor charts with book rings that way it's really easy I can flip move sorry I'm paying a desk again I can flip to the one I need this is like a little growth mindset anchor chart that we made this week this little poster was in like a calendar set that I got a while ago you'll notice that it matches those letters then I have some more of those magnetic pockets from store X these are gonna hold my extra focus while posters which I'll show you that in a minute and then this one holds scratch paper so like if I accidentally make the wrong copies of something I put those in here and my students can use them during indoor recess and then this is another little built-in bookshelf so down here I have extra textbooks my students do have textbooks in their desks but I have like way more than I even need so the extras are down here these containers came from Walmart I did a bad thing I think they were all like supposed to be this blue color and I kind of stole the different colors off of different size containers I don't recommend doing that but yeah that's how I got the different colors I used to use these for sorting my reading groups like my leveled readers for my guided reading groups and now I don't really have a need for them so they're just kind of sitting here because they're colorful then I have my pencil sharpeners this one is an exacto pencil sharpener it is highly recommended it's super cheap it's less than $30 and it lasts forever it has a 10-year warranty I also have my handheld sharpener so if I don't want any noise in the room this is from classroom friendly supplies actually my first youtube video was all about this pencil sharpener now one thing this pencil sharpener my little feet came off and it does make a mess like it will leave streaks on here so I actually have ordered like a little mat to go underneath then I have my lunch counter area which this is new to me because I never used to have to do a lunch counter so over here I have a basket and that's that same label I've been showing you they will be my TPT store so I have just like the little lunch count papers that stay right there with a pencil the lunch sticks when they are done being used go in this bucket and that bucket came from target dollar spot these are the same white white same white buckets that I showed you up on my smart board that came from Target they were only a dollar so my students choose between pact grab and go on tray one and on tray 2 and then here are their lunch sticks I just taped on their name and they put it in whichever bucket they choose and then one of my student jobs is that they count them and they take the lunch count to the cafeteria then over here is my math focus board so this is just like the science and social studies one that I showed you so I don't need to go into like too much detail again it's like the bourdette with the black and white stripe both from Amazon letters cut from my Cricut black belt background those are dry erase leaves and then at the bottom here I'm gonna put math practice really camera there we go math practice posters which I'm gonna try to make that over the weekend you guys get the point this desk right here is actually for our TA because we have such large class sizes up to like 33 34 kids in a class we do have a TA that the four of us team teachers for fourth grade share so this is just a space for her to like put any of her stuff or do any work or pull a kit if she needs to this cart I got from Michael's like a really long time ago but I think you guys can get it from Amazon as well this is going to sort like graded work so first of all this basket on top this is from Dollar Tree this is where I put anything for bud or ta anything - do I just put in this basket so she can just peek in her head see if there's anything there and go ahead and grab it so these are those same labels just put on with clear tape so when I grade papers I'm gonna put them in this bottom bin then one of my student jobs is that they're gonna sort them by homeroom so my homeroom papers one of my team teachers all of theirs go in these drawers and then I will have class rosters in case a student didn't write their homeroom on their paper my mailman person will be able to look it up oh and I did want to mention so when we go to sent home graded work so on like Wednesday's my mail person would take like missus lot times papers run them across the hall miss Lee's papers run them down the hall and so on and they each have a place for them to put it any students from other classes who have papers for me they will put it in the Miss for a homeroom papers it is so nice to have a working clock again because all of last year my clock never worked and the custodians never changed the battery so I haven't had a clock in a while but now I finally do these little number cards around them for the second I got those off at EPT but I honestly don't remember where there's ton of them on there though then I have this Cub Cheers poster this is a school-wide like incentive thing basically it's a compliment for your class doing a good job either in the hallway cafeteria or assembly so far we have earned three cup cheers I just quickly made up this sheet laminated it and again it's hanging with a sticky clip and then I have my news board so it's like a little mini board right here by the door I set it up the same as like my focus boards this pencil I actually got from the target dollar spot and I had no idea what I was gonna use it for and it fit perfectly here it's actually just hanging on full push pins rather than like actually attaching it the little like teeth thing are just kind of hanging on there and that's where I display like their lunch calendar band schedule course schedule stuff like that and then this drawstring bag is for emergency so it has like a flashlight batteries and like a green and red card to display when we go out to fire drills so whenever we have a fire drill I just quickly quickly grab that before leaving now for student desks arrangements you'll see they are mostly in groups of five I do have a couple groups of six because I have 32 dusts in here and I may end up having to put more in here unfortunately next to each group I have one of these at Sterilite three drawer stands and on top I have a caddy now I haven't filled these caddies yeah I'm actually waiting for new ones to come in off of Amazon because you'll see I'm missing one there and missing one there so once those come in I will fill them for now I just have the highlighters for the homeroom classes like I explained before but I'll just have extra colored pencils extra glue sticks extra scissors stuff like that and then each one of my different like classes has a drawer so my homeroom class they put their morning work journals in here and then my black one in block two they put their science and social studies journals and folders in here and those are the same Sterilite drawer labels that I showed you up on my desk okay so I think that is it I'm gonna just kind of walk around and give you like one more shot of my room it's really really late and I need to get out of here like the lights went off in the hallway I'm like that it's not a good time the janitors are probably like why is she still here yeah this is my classroom this year honestly I'm in love with it like I walk in I'm like this is my happy place like I just feel so good here I got a lot of compliments from parents and make the teacher like all your classrooms so pretty and hopefully people can just tell how much I care about teaching by the effort that I put into my
