Day 1 Classroom Set Up Video! 2019 - 2020

[Music] hello my name is Vicki Pomeroy and I am a fifth grade teacher in Arizona and this will be my third year of teaching I'm so happy that you found this video I have been debating for a while if I wanted to make these videos because I love watching teacher videos I love watching classroom setup videos and people talking about lesson plans and people talking about different classroom management strategies and I wanted to be a part of that so welcome all right so this is my classroom I just got my shipment order from from Office Max office depot so I need to figure out what I'm doing with oh that don't even remember what that is this is self-stick wall pad this is from my anchor chart I know that yeah let's anchor chart stuff um but right here I have a closet that I actually do not get access to not gonna step that I'm going to open up this is gonna be the nurse's station next year so the closet in that room is for the nurse so don't get access to that but that's okay um I got my paper so I need to put that away this I need to take home or figure out something to do with because I can't stay here um but this corner is gonna be my library so this metal one I'm thinking I want to put like math manipulatives and maybe I like switch it with that one because that one has more shelves but I want math manipulatives in this one this will be my library I have a very small library so that's okay I'm getting my cow so I'm gonna put the couch here and this one's gonna be student work then I have these two whiteboards that I think this one's gonna be like my objective board and my homework board and stuff like that and that other boards gonna be like I know maybe my morning meeting or where students can come to the board and do work or maybe I'll have that be like a station corner I have another bookshelf up there it's not gonna house that stuff I only have that stuff that's there because I needed a picture but I have that book bin or that shelf is gonna have the student book bins I have this bulletin board yes I know I already put it up and yes I know it's ready crinkly but it was the first time I have a bulletin board so I was just excited to put it up but I'm gonna take it all down because I bought the bulletin board paper the fadeless kind and so I'm going to take it down so I can put it back up I have this board which will be for student learning this board will be for like I do the house system I'm going to start the house system from like Harry Potter so that's where that's going to be sorry back to this one I have the cafe from daily 5 I'm gonna try it this year but I think I'm not gonna be as strict with it I think I'm just gonna use it a little bit more loosely I'm gonna adjust it to how I see fit and then this one I'm gonna have like the calendar and I'm gonna have like student announcements and stuff like that on that board and coming around I have another bookshelf that is going to have these bins these bins are 95 cents from Big Lots so I got a whole class set so one bookshelf doesn't fit all of these I had initially side so I initially thought of using these for the students this is from the Dollar Tree but I had heard that you know they're flimsy and they fall over a lot and they break so I hid behind a few of those I have a few more in my car but I ultimately decided not to go with that I had this from last year oh this is this top one is from the target dollar spot but I couldn't I couldn't justify spending 90 bucks for about three of these I can't justify spending 90 bucks on bends and then I have this this one was from Walmart where it was a stack of five for ten bucks okay so that's still 60 bucks I couldn't justify it so I went with this cost me 28 bucks just tape the label on the inside I'm gonna I have these little labels that I'm gonna put the student's name in them once you figure out who's who but because originally I was planning on this I could have fit 30 on here but because I went with the bigger bins I can only fit about 16 on here and leads us back to this one this black bin can fit 16 on them so I'm gonna it kind of works out I'll have half the class here half the class here and then that way when I say out go grab your bin I'm not going to have 30 kids coming here and then it goes to my cabinets I have this cabinet it's kind of alone it's just by itself and I think I'm going to store Student Council stuff in here or long-term storage like my Christmas tree or my minute to win it games the stuff I used during last week of school that's is what I'll store here I have this corner which is interesting because it has he is metal I mean these wooden triangles and there is another one down there and so I had to put a leg of the table through there but I couldn't put a normal student desk like I usually do for my mailbox so my mall box will be more in the corner and then I'm thinking I'm gonna kind of have a chair right here and it can kind of be a cool down corner so have the mailbox and then the cool down corner here and now the best part of the classroom is all of these cabinets they're really dirty looking um and I'm trying to find I've been coming here in a couple times to try and get the paint off and it does come off it just burns your hand so I need protective wear but I might slowly but surely try and take the paint off of this stuff it might take me all school year and maybe I just come in during like fall break and do a couple at a time I don't know but I do like the yellow up against the white versus the cream up against the white so this is one cabinet right and the next one over um I have it's half a cabinet and then it has ten drawers so what I'm going to do is I'm going to have the top half be stem and then the bottom half be the student so what I'm thinking is labeling this one two and three your student numbers one two and three they'll just put their data binders in here and that way it's yeah it's three students instead of one student per binder but it's only three and there's this this kind of slides out so I think it would be awesome to have as a station if this closed and I hang something up here luckily these are all magnetic so like I was saying I kind of hang metal or magnet on here so this is like grid paper but it's magnet so I could have things for math stations where okay here are different areas what are here different shapes what's the area and then the kids can use this okay they can use this to kind of stand as they answer the questions so I'm really excited about that so I will remind you that the kids help me organize these at the end of the year and things just cut shoved in there like the next bin over it's a little bit more organized so I have all my textbooks in here I have my chrome box I have a couple caddies back there have polls and samples I don't know what's inside this box this is oh these are things that I needed to file and I never did so it's just again sitting in their math negatives copy paper okay the next cabinet over I have some math manipulatives up there all right this one has all of our supplies so there's a wine paper back there and then kind of random whoo-ha construction paper and ziplock bags I have more line paper I have glues and erasers and paint and then it kind of goes into a random hoo-hah mess again yeah alright now this cabinet I'm excited about but I'm still a loss of how to organize so all this stuff was left from a previous teacher so there are trees and crayons that's actually mine there's pencils random just bins and then random Vince ain't um student council stuff my filing cabinet I have my drawer system with the scrapbook so it's great for stations I still have stations in there I have my desk which I was thinking I might just want to flip and have facing the wall so it kind of is more just me more space my refrigerator a little caddy sis a cabinet system this I used last year by my desk and I have these and then the Monday through Friday things and then I had my emergency sub plans and I might keep it I might not I don't know I kind of wish I had one more shelf so that I can use this space because right now it's just empty space yeah and then I have my student computers here this is how I'm gonna set them up last year I had that wooden table that's back there I had my wooden table housing my student computers but in the move I guess when the legs got kind of broken so it's being supported by that weird triangle thing so we didn't want to put computers on there so this is what I have I don't know if I like it because I don't feel like so you'd have enough space to have a keyboard and the mouse and it's kind of weird but it's okay for now maybe I can find another table on campus in place and then come in full around I have the spin this is where I'm gonna put my safety patrol stuff so I have my vest and my clipboards that are specific for safety patrol and then I can here's where I have students put their lunchboxes and then on top is where I have students sign in and out for for bathroom so I can take this middle one out I can have to row for lunchboxes my c2 patrol vest and all that and then I come around so this is a 360 view of my classroom another reason why maybe I should move my teacher desk facing the wall is I can pull this back a little bit more creating more classroom space [Music] right so they're just gonna sit in the corner until I have time to take him home now all this is basically just Halloween and Christmas decoration here all right so what I think I'm gonna do is this box is stuff that I ordered at the end of last year I don't know if all schools through this but my school they let us order like a hundred dollars worth of stuff each semester so we order it in December we get it in January we order it and may we get it in August so order this don't even remember what exactly I got but I'm gonna pull all this stuff out and then I'm gonna put my decorations in here so I can pack it back up and put it up there [Music] Expo markers green flare pens now I do something called green raiders and I absolutely love this little bin just got it from the taller target dollar spot last year but I just play green graders on their big own there and then kids know to pull out a green grader when they're editing or when they're helping someone else with so that's what that is and it's just paper for me in return I'm planning I'm using that a lot more than that what I did last year this I told me remember quartering this is like Christmas I see that it's 3 M and E that says self okay okay there you go say threw all that up there this is more cleaned out now kind of move there's an outlet right here which I don't like because know what blocks boom oh this might be problematic okay so right here I'm putting my couch that's where I've always planned on putting it but there's an outlet right there and it prevents me from pushing this up against the wall there's an outlet right there so I don't really need it's not that I need this outlet it's that I can't put anything up against it so maybe if I switch the black and the white wine I won't have that proper name [Music] like like like a huge spider I don't want to scare it and then it like see this is the problem with my room is uh yes see the crocks under the door and get all sorts of critters coming in why isn't it moving the spider is that maybe I can scoot it outside yeah yeah that'll work yeah he's mad now Oh make me kill you hmm okay okay he's gone he's gone I hope he never comes back he's on writing okay okay I think my next order of business is to just go across this way so I'm going to start here I'm going to pull everything out and then just put student-council stuff in there [Music] so it's emptied it's all sitting counsel stuff now I do the marketing council stuff they do it's just not currently in my classroom this is all the stuff I ended with this is all the stuff that was in my classroom at the end of the year so that's what I'm storing in here see we do have a student council closet but it is attached to another teacher's classroom so in order for us to get our stuff we have to go in there and pull like we had to wait till she's there before we can go in and get our own stuff out so as much as I don't want a house the student council stuff I have the space for it so I might as well I'm just I need to suck it up I guess all right time for this one I'm going to pull everything out except for the posters and then I'm gonna put the cushions and any containers and any of my poster stuff back in here [Music] so this is the next cabinet we need to deal with but I'm done I I don't want to lift anything I'm tired it's like these are heavy and I don't want to mess with them and I don't know what to put in them and then I get down oh I think I might take care so if you want to this is kind of weird for me um if you want to see what else they did with my classroom and see how I organized it and once I get my flexible seating stuff what it will look like um go ahead subscribe comment down below ya know see you later bye
