Third Grade Classroom Setup Day 2 | Bulletin Boards | 2018-2019

you want to see how bad this does [Music] the world just likes to torrential downpour good morning I'm going to start this one off right today my name is Brianna and this is my third year teaching so we are currently setting up my third grade classroom and I'm at the same school I've been at however I've just moved down from fourth grade so completely new classroom although I did student teach in this building and I'm really excited to share my journey with you guys so thanks for joining us it's pouring right now and that seems to be happening to me a lot lately yesterday after I left school my boyfriend and I went to Olive Garden and it was pouring and we both took separate cars so like I didn't have an umbrella I didn't have a jacket I didn't have anything to put over my head I literally walked into Olive Garden shopping wet like dripping like people were like oh my gosh my waitress brought me napkins to wipe off of the water so I brought an umbrella this morning there's now an umbrella in my car I also did not put on makeup because I'm sitting here thinking why did I even do that yesterday so I'm leaving about at the same time but I woke up a lot later if you missed my first classroom setup vlog you should definitely go check that out I'll link it in the cards right now it's probably on this side you know but I'll link it in the cards go watch that one first that way you watch them in order so they all make sense and let's go [Music] oh my goodness so I made it there was a ton of rain a ton of floods the emergency sound went off on my radio twice but I'm here and miraculously it's not raining so I got my things inside without an umbrella and without getting a drop of water on them so I stopped at the McDonald's by my school today because I figured I went a little bit out of the way yesterday so I'm glad I went to this one and some of you are gonna think I'm crazy but this is just a large black iced coffee no sugar no cream no nothing it's actually really good like if you train yourself to drink black coffee you will learn to enjoy it and this is zero points and it's large and I think it was one dollar so anyway let's talk about what the plan is for today I want to get up my bulletin boards and like I said yesterday I want to go through that mess over there a lot of it is just well new bins for my library I have all my student supply area stuff from last year I don't know if I'm gonna have a space for that actually I could here's the thing I'm gonna need some new furniture my back wall I can put like lower bookshelves and stuff over there and I want that shelf coming out here I just don't have a place for it right now so I'll have to find somewhere to put it like out of the way I don't think I'm going to tackle my library just yet that's gonna be a whole-day project and I want to get my room clean first so I think those are my main goals for today something I want to show you guys that I made last night I told you that I'm gonna give labels for my cubbies well I couldn't find tiny stickers that you can print on like some of them say write only and some say inkjet laser jet so I went to Office Depot and found these multi-purpose labels it's a tiny pack and see specifically they say you can use them in the printer all the directions are on the back basically all you do is go to the website download the template for your product number and it pulls it up in a Microsoft Word document and it's ready for you to type so I picked a font I made it the size I wanted and printed out my numbers now these are on circles but that's okay so the first thing I'm gonna do is put these over there but this was so simple so I printed out four of the one through 24 because that's my class and then I also printed out 25 to 32 because I will have a Chromebook cart in here and I don't know if it's labeled and I would want to use these to label it so we go I'm trying to think how many Chromebooks there might be more than 30 I'll have to figure it out but yeah so I'm gonna go put those labels on and I was editing my video last night and I was like oh my gosh I'm never doing this time-lapse thing again but that's only because when I edit it but I think there's so much stuff on my computer that I can't watch the clip as it's really going to show on YouTube it like skips and I can't really see what's happening but then I was watching it on YouTube this morning and it looks amazing and I'm so proud of that vlog so I guess we'll stick with it thank you guys for the suggestion I hope you enjoyed yesterday's vlog and I hope this one's gonna be great too so let's go the circles actually fit perfect on the top I thought I was gonna have to fold them over but I only have to do that on the bottom and I might have to put a piece of tape on top of this one people are probably cringing because I didn't pull off the labels that were on there before I'm going to try that on the other side of the thing and see if I like that better also I put number two here first but I want it to go 1 2 3 4 so good thing I made multiples because I have to fix that I mean of course that looks so much better I just don't know if I want to scrape them all off let's go on the other side oh gosh they're labeled that's all that matters right no one even looks at these I think I'm just gonna scrape off that side and then I'll decide later here is what the finished product looks like the only thing is since this bottom shelf is smaller than this top piece the bottom ones have to bend so I think I'm going to have to put a piece of tape over them but I'm just gonna let it sit and see how it does I just don't want the kids to be able to pick at it and now I bought 6 more cases last night for the rest of my fraction towers so I'm gonna put those away [Music] have these containers from Big Lots and I'm pretty sure pocketful of primary Michelle uses these too but I set them in this way and I fit eleven and my boyfriend set them in this way and he fit 11 too so either way you do it you'll still fit the same amount another one can't fit right there but then the rest can just go on top and I don't mind for sitting on top like that that's not crazy now I just put them on top of that cabinet I'm going to take down this pause chart because I have my own that's cut out do you hear the rain guys guess I can't go outside next I want to start this board because having it all laid out will make my heart happy the only thing is my filing cabinets are in the way so I guess I'll try to figure out how to move it so that I could do that over my years of bulletin boarding I've learned pushpin thumbtack first that was brutal at the end my scissors would not just trim it so now I'm gonna go back through and kind of like press and pin and press and pin but I don't want to film all day so I'm gonna see what I can get done and set the camera down let's be real I don't know how teachers have perfect bulletin board edges that's why they made borders right so we are looking pretty good and blue it's so funny because two years ago I hated this blue I picked it up for my circus classroom but I needed the teeler bulletin board paper so I eventually took it down and changed it but this matches the Candyland much better so now I'm gonna get out my border so tell me why would you make a Candyland board that doesn't work when you line it up that looks so weird like what am I supposed to do I can't even like layer it anywhere uh-huh I'm not even showing you but like that would be my best bet but then the colors don't go in order but yellow is not after I mean they don't really go in an order anyway oh geez side note I think I just solved one of my problems so I have four table groups three with six one with five that one had five because it was the last one I put together well why don't I make the one closest to my table the one with the 5 and I can even push that kid over there and that leaves the perfect spot yes in other news connecting it at that random point isn't as bad as I thought and it's coming together guys the good thing about board game border is I don't have to double it up oh my good news it's a little bit wrinkly down here but that's ok when there's stuff on it you won't be able to tell that looks so awesome I am obsessed in my digital design I think I made the border a lot thicker than it actually was and I have so much space on this board this is awesome with that I'm going to clip my border and take the paper roll and place it inside my closet I'm currently reading your comments on my vlog from yesterday and I just wanted to mention a few things so I cannot get rid of that desk because that's where the projector has to sit our projectors cannot hang from our ceiling and I actually really like that desk because I can spread out when I'm teaching I student taught at an exact desk like that actually in the room across the hall and it was really comfortable and I like having two separate areas because I don't like having anything on my small group table over here also some of you suggested I make another group of desks in the back which is a great idea however I'm really really stuck on only having four groups of desk I spent the last two years with over 27 students and more than five desk groups and I just want to embrace the small class I think this is gonna work like I said I'm not going to make any decisions about moving any more furniture as in like this table I'm happy for now but thank you guys for your feedback this is why I do this I love hearing your suggestions and sharing ideas with each other we're collaborating that's the point that's why I do this to share with you guys to tell you what I think to hear what you think so yeah thank you Eureka I just wanted to let you know that you did not do a very good job with these letters some of them are not cut all the way through especially these DS and so I'm having to rip the letter out even though it's supposed to be a punch out really reusable letter I don't mean to complain on here but it should not be this difficult to punch out letters and ruin them like what I specifically push my fingers on top and pull and I guess I should pop it the other way apparently this is how I spell reading land I got so caught up in messing up the letters that I forgot to pop out my G and another end and I just put all the letters back into the container oh boy luckily this board is laid out with this line this line and this line so since it ends right before and it starts before that one the middle is going to be right before this middle one so I laid out my letters and I'm going to pick the middle one and just put a pushpin in for now and where I want to put it [Music] [Music] that's it now I'm going to staple those letters down I love it stunning now it's time to start the dreaded whiteboard bulletin board so I measured out this board with a yardstick and now I'm going to cut the line that I made that you cannot see it's there I swear I don't know why this isn't focusing behold the wall of tape if you hang a bulletin board on a whiteboard you need reinforcements you want to see how bad this goes [Applause] this is not a job that can be done alone I'll be back later so currently I have absolutely no idea where my new job cards are I thought I put them in this container with all of my random stuff like my alphabet since I can't find them and since I can't put that board up alone I think I'm gonna try to hang my outfit teamwork makes the dream work guys that was actually a lot easier than I thought so now it's time for the money guys I don't know why my a looks so huge but it's coming together and you can't see the little shadow much on camera but you can so see it in person and it looks so awesome so this whole bulletin board since dawn a whiteboard that's not magnetic it was put up with masking tape and then here's my other board I love it all right so I'm about to start my alphabet and M is in the middle so I'm gonna start from the middle and move out to both sides I think I'm gonna use just thumbtacks right now because I can put them in my wall and then I'm a staple it I guess cuz that would be easiest [Music] I am obsessed and I'm so glad I did it perfectly the first time oh my gosh time to staple alright guys I'm so happy that my room is coming together it looks so good oh my gosh I can't believe this is real and I can't believe I created that so I brought my pink bins in but now it's time to finish my bulletin board in the hallway since I mostly have everything done here except my twister board which I have to make the circles for I don't think I'm gonna get to that one today so I put up these letters at the end of last year because it was like one of the only things I could actually do in my new classroom and I don't really know what happened to all of them I guess they fell when the custodians were moving in and out furniture so we're gonna fix that Wow you can tell that I've been working and sweating I lost both of my job cards I have no idea what I did with them now so that was the next thing I wanted to do but I wasn't able to get to it let's go talk about my outside board so first of all I'm really excited about this because in my old hallway we didn't have bulletin boards on the outside of our classroom so this is my first year with an outside bulletin board and - Scrabble themed of course I got this idea off Pinterest and I'm going to put my students names in this bottom area I don't know how yet I may do like Scrabble letters if you have any ideas leave them down below but I feel good about today all my stuff is still sitting there but that's okay I think I am going to come in tomorrow and definitely tackle some of that my math board is up and ready to go I just have to fix that top corner but I love the way that turned out so much I'm not going to end up using this bulletin board border I bought this just because it was on the website and it was like three dollars so just in case but I'm not going to use that for my math board and then my reading board is up oh my goodness I love it and obviously that filing cabinet is not going to stay there I think I'm going to shift all this down and I think I am going to keep my table here and I might actually stack those bookshelves on top of each other so changes are still coming my alphabet looks terrible from this height but down here there is no glare and this is at the seat when kids are sitting I mean not like they need to really reference the alphabet anyway it's just there cuz it's a classroom and it goes with my theme so I love that and it literally fits perfectly above the map I just threw all my magnetic stuff onto that board but obviously the staying there my library still looks like this the chairs are piled up over here and all this is just here but I think that is all I'm gonna call it a day I haven't really eaten ate and eaten ate I haven't really ate today which is not good so I'm gonna go home and get some dinner I hope you guys enjoyed today it was an exciting day because all of my bulletin boards got put up I have a few ideas for that white board over there either to turn it into a cork board or put magnetic tiles on top of it I don't know I'm gonna look into a few ideas and see what I come up with but I definitely want to make good use of it and like I have things like my place value magnets and fraction strips and stuff that are magnetic and I don't want to use that white that white board to teach because that's gonna be like my homework I'm really bad at pointing that's gonna be my homework and my schedule and possibly lunch choice depends where I put my filing cabinets cuz I can do lunch choice on my filing cabinets too I'm going to head out because I am tired and hungry and ready to be home today was very successful and my hair proves it if you are enjoying coming along as I set up my classroom make sure to give this video a thumbs up make sure to subscribe so you know when I post my next setup video and if you haven't seen my classroom
