Time to Say Goodbye | That Teacher Life Ep 70

in case anyone was curious how I am storing all this this summer this is what my office currently looks like it is the last day of school I'm going to miss them a lot so this is my official last classroom vlog at least for this school year good morning it is last Monday of the school year and it is an early dismissal day so my students leave at 1:15 and we have an assembly and we're doing water activities so it should be a pretty easy day I'm going to go grab some coffee regardless because I am tired I had a pretty busy weekend Saturday I had a birthday party and then filming and then yesterday my boyfriend his mom and his sister and I all drove up to Pennsylvania to see his grandmother because it was her birthday and it was a quick trip I mean it's a three-hour drive up and back but we just did a day trip so we got home kind of late I'm just pretty tired overall decided up early yesterday so I'm going to go get my coffee and then I'll catch up with you guys at school good five minutes ago good morning can I get a medium iced coffee with this more flavoring cream and one of the bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel sandwiches before thank you alright it is lunchtime which means it's Oh at the end of the day lunch will be over at 12:40 and then dismissal starts around 110 115 so we have about a half an hour when we get back we're just going to pack up secretaries and sit on the carpet because there's no point in even trying to do anything during that time so far it's been a pretty rough day first thing this morning I had them making thank-you cards for the lady who brings our dog in so that I can give them to her and then after that I let them go on Prodigy and I tried to get a couple of small things done in my room but my students were having so many issues like working with each other that I didn't really get a lot done then we had an assembly and then during the assembly I got pulled out to go have my end-of-the-year evaluation and it was actually really really good I got highly effective overall and then my SLO was full points and then together with my evaluation and my SLO I had like a 95 out of 100 so I'm super happy with that and I have a copy so I can show that in interviews which is fantastic then we went outside for water activities and then now they are at lunch so it's it's been rough behavior-wise like ton of students acting out I wonder had to get taken up to the office one was supposed to be an ISS today and they just decided he didn't need to be an ISS so he's back in my room and of course has been having issues it's okay because the pay is always over tomorrow we have awards and our picnic which means there should be a lot of parents here which helps because they will be with their parents and it just takes a lot off of me so I'm going to go eat my lunch and I'll talk to you guys after so of course I went to get my lunch which I always just pack into my purse because it's big enough to hold it all and I realized my purse was out in my car and it's over 90 degrees today so I don't think I can eat it it's like all melted and I had tuna and yeah so it is now 2:45 I feel like I've barely had any time to vlog today but it's just been a really crazy day so all of my students were gone by 1:45 and then I was talking to a teacher who's actually gonna be taking it over my position I'm so so happy because she's absolutely amazing she's been a sub in our building for a long time anyway so it is now 2:45 I don't give you guys a quick room update I didn't really make a lot of progress today I didn't have time I still have to go through those binders over there on the bookshelf my desk is a hot mess I just have stuff everywhere I went through and cleaned out all their prep containers and I just follow their pencils in a bag if they asked me for their pencil I'll give it back to them if not I'm just going to throw them away and then I'm going throw away their pencil bin because they're absolutely disgusting and they came from the dollar store this is our checklist for our school that we have to complete for the end of the year at the faculty meeting they were announcing stuff that was leaving and so I got these flowers which is super super sweet and a card still have my coffee from this morning did not finish that and then I have some punch after the back of my room stuff is just everywhere good news is after the picnic these juice boxes will be gone but I literally just have containers everywhere imaginable and I can't really do anything about it until I can start taking stuff home I was able to get my rules posters taken down those were over on the wall above my flag they were just hooked up with command hooks and then the PTA brought these bags earlier they're like little goodie bags to send home with students over the summer so I'm going to try to send this home tomorrow I actually have to go meet with my grade-level team now we have to do something called articulation and if you don't know what that is or your school doesn't do that it's basically where we divide up the kids into their classes for next year the office actually gives us an index card for each student and it has a sticker with all their information on it and the index cards are different colors based on that student's gender and race and the reason for that is when we divide up the classes we want to make sure that each class has a pretty even distribution of gender and a pretty even distribution of race their cards also have their instructional level for bass that way we can make sure that classes have a pretty even distribution of below level students and on level students and above level students when we do this we basically will start with one of the genders and races so like will take Caucasian girls and will divide them up and then we'll do the same for all the other genders and races and then after we've done that we take a look at them to make sure they have a fair amount of working towards on level and above level students and it's pretty even between the classes even though we spend the time to do this it usually takes like 45 minutes the classes end up getting changed before the fall starts anyway because parents call up and make changes so it's kind of pointless but it is one of our responsibilities for the end of the school year and they are due today by 4:00 so I'm going to go do that and I'm going to come back in my room try to straighten up just a little bit and then I'll catch back up with you guys [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right I wanted to give you guys a real update I do still need to take clothes these drawers that they don't come open when we are moving them I do still need to go through my binders I just haven't had time for it yet I'm going to be leaving this rug for the teacher taking over my room I've used it for three years and I just don't really need something else to take with me and I'm leaving my file crate out until I know that there's nothing else to file away I did find someone to take this white bookshelf my teen teacher is going to take it and if she doesn't want it I will leave it for the teacher taking over my room my desk is also looking a lot more cleared off this binder has all of my students awards for the assembly tomorrow so the way we do it the office gives us all the awards each student has a page protector with a sticker in the corner that sticker has their name and we check off all of the awards that that student gets we put them all in the page protector that way when we call students up we just say their name we can list off the awards that they are getting and hand them the entire page protector and the reason I put mine in the binder is because my first year I just went up with a stack of page protectors and obviously the plastic is really slick and they all ended up sliding off onto the floor and it was so embarrassing so ever since I have gone up put a binder so I can take them out one by one these are my students pencils oh I'm just kind of holding on to it these are plates for the picnic tomorrow these are class iPads I'm going to go ahead and take them home fortunately I got these through DonorsChoose and because I am still teaching I have permission to take them with me and so incredibly grateful for that this top part is a lot more cleared off I just have some sticky notes and a pencil and then a whole bunch of paper clips because I have a million paper clips and I don't have enough room in my drawers so I'm just leaving them up there and whatever I don't end up using I'm put in a bag and Lee for the teacher taking over my room this is my bag of stuff that I need like ASAP for my desk when I get in my new classroom I'm going to move it to a different box this just happen to be the only one I had on hand that I could use but I talked about this in my end-of-the-year organizational video so I have like packaging tape and I'm going to use this to tape drawers closed I have a small hole puncher I have some magnets I have a binder clip because those are life and I use them for everything I have tape I have a stapler some sticky notes a whole bunch of pens a pair of scissors just kind of those necessary things that you always end up need mean that way I have them all in a box ready to go this is a box of stuff that I'm going to go ahead and take home with me today along with the iPads a lot of people have asked me where I get these containers from I originally got them on clearance at Target however they do have them on Amazon I think they're around $5 apiece but they are linked for you in my Amazon store just go under the organizational category and these are how I store construction paper and just a couple of other things so I'm taking all of those home all of my keyboards just because they happen to fit perfectly in there this is my fold up stool that I have back then my sink and then this has all of my extra coffee pods for my Keurig next in these cabinets those containers are all mine but I'm just leaving them in there until it's time to move I did go ahead and move the ones from this bottom part of the cabinet that way I could start putting stuff in here that's going to be left for the new teacher so I this whole thing of glue that I ordered my first year and I never ended up using so I'm going to leave it because obviously was bought with school money same thing with the paints these are extra dry erase markers that still had some ink left a stapler a oh my goodness a tape dispenser that's horrible I'm so tired right now and some crafts oh that actually was here when I first came in and I never ended up using it so I have containers just kind of everywhere right now I tried to pack as many into this cabinet as possible but they did not all fit hence the ones in the Cubbies but those all belong to me and those are all things that I bought so I'm taking those with me this one is completely clear this one has all the math stuff which I showed you before and this one has some extra map stuff you guys have seen this area for the past like week ever since I packed up this area it hasn't really changed a lot I sacked up more of those containers that I have over here this was a container that I had under my sink and it carried like extra soap and paper towels and things like that but I put like extra extra supplies that don't even fit in my other plastic containers in there so like extra markers yarr and things like that these are all of my erasers I'm going to try to take those home tomorrow this stuff is all mine again it's just kind of trying to put out of the way as much as possible iPads are gone these are juice boxes for the picnic tomorrow this is going to be saying this is a literature organizer from store X and I'm so sad to be leaving it behind because it's one of the favorite things in my classroom that I have however it was bought with school money so I do have to leave it behind that's okay I can just splurge and get a new one um these are my headphone containers so I need to send those students home with their headphones tomorrow then of course I have a bunch more sourced containers stacked up over here I did go into the storage closet and got out my huge tarp and I totally forgot I even had to bring this home so I figured I'd pull it out so that I don't forget this is a sack of stuff that I need to send home with a student who wasn't here today still need to get it back for that extra paper that I'm kind of pulling onto for now this has like crayons that have been used but are still like useable same thing with markers and then this has like my old erasers and just some other random supplies that I felt like cutting in there these are our master annals which I was informed today that we are supposed to collect them and I guess someone's going to come around and collect them all from the school which is so so silly to me like why not send it home with the student I already sent a bunch of them home so too bad says that this is all I have left to me like we didn't use all the pages why not send it home so they can do it over the summer it seems so stupid to collect them all and then just serve them away but regardless I put all these bags from PTA in here just oil was more organized and this is literally a container of just bags because I'm needing bags all the time lately and I just put them all right there these are our bins and I've actually used these for two years and I wiped out the inside I'm going to bring them home with me and run them through the dishwasher this summer because they are still in great shape and I can still use them again I need to pack up this lamp I still have my stools I need to pack that up as well I did make a little more progress over here though so this cabinet I have a bunch of extra things of tissue and hand sanitizers and like paper towels and stuff and I'm just leaving those for now because I don't have anywhere to put them under here that is my bag of bags and I'm leaving that just in case I end up needing them in the next couple days these are all extra Ziploc bags that I have so again just kind of leaving them for now this cabinet is completely cleared off with the exception of some bowls and some napkins and I'm just going to hopefully use them over the next couple days whatever I don't use will be left behind that pencil sharpener was bought with school money so that will be staying this one is a personal one of mine so I will be bringing that with me this drawer is completely empty so is this one and under here is empty as well carpet squares will be stained because they were actually here when I got here so I don't personally own them I'm leaving them behind I still have these containers up here and I've added some boxes this is clear like all that belongs to the school with the exception of these binders these are where I store my rooted and reading and as you can tell I stored away a couple months and then never finish it sorry not sorry I need to bring in some boxes tomorrow so that I can pack the rest of them away so here is just a 360 I do feel like I made some progress but again it's hard because right now I feel like I'm just stacking stuff up to actually take it home and until I get stuff out of here it's still going to feel super cluttered I don't know if you guys can tell but I am so sweaty right now it's not even funny in my room is so hot so I'm going to get out of here I don't even know what time it is I haven't looked at my phone in like over an hour so it's probably I don't know five five thirty something like that I need to go out and run some errands I need to get gifts for my team teachers and I think honestly I'm just going to get them Amazon gift cards because who doesn't love Amazon and who doesn't love gift cards and I feel like sometimes we try to be so creative with like giving people certain gifts but then it's not something they can actually use and to me that just a peace of purpose so I'm going to get them Amazon gift cards because I know that they can use that I need to get those I also need to get gifts for the two assistants that are in my room because I appreciate everything that they have done for me this year they are amazing and I want to make sure that they know that I appreciate that I also need to take some stuff from school I'm just going to pack as much into my car tonight as possible tomorrow after school my boyfriend is going to come we're going to do another load possibly another load on Wednesday and then Thursday which is the very last day there's no students it's just teachers that day my mom and dad are going to come [Music] good morning it is the second to last day of school and today is also our award ceremony and our class picnic so each grade level does a different day and time but all the days and times that we wanted we're already claimed so we have to do it today so it curled my hair just a little bit for this but I'll be honest I was not going to sit there and curl my hair for half an hour when it's going to be 90 degrees and we're going to be outside for our picnic for like an hour in 90-degree heat and I am going to get so sweaty and I'm going to look like a hot mess so it's not even worth it I'm going to go and just get a small coffee this morning because I need to drink it on my way to school because I have a mom who's coming in this morning to volunteer which I'm so super grateful for and she asked if I wanted coffee from one of these like local coffee places that's here in my town and I said no because I always feel bad like I don't want people to feel like they have to bring me things or give me things like I have a hard time just accepting things from people so I said no and then it would look really awkward if I walked in with my coffee so I'm just trying to drink it on the way to school and I'll catch up with you guys there there's more of a super good morning can I get a small vanilla latte with no whipped cream please hacer coca cold oh yeah nope that will be it thank you all right I just got to school I am working on finishing my coffee and I brought in this blue container I have had this for like six years now you guys can see it still has a sticker from when I was moving into like my freshman dorm in college but this is what I'm going to use as my box to pack all the stuff that I need like first thing in my new classroom so everything that's in this little box is going to go into this bigger box and then I'll probably end up putting just some smaller things in there that I don't necessarily need the first day if I'm just going to try to utilize this space as much as possible and then this is what my students are doing a total our award ceremony because that's not until 10 o'clock this is a freebie I found on TBT it's eight pages long and it makes this little like memory book so here's the first page it's just a cover page and I think she had it all the way up to like fifth grade and then you can see like there's the tabs on the side so when they're done they can see all of the tabs once they cut them out it just has like an about me page and it has a few of my favorite things and the reason I picked this is because one of the pages let me see yeah this one is an autograph page and that is our day for the summer countdown it is yellow and exchanged autographs today we kind of cheated for that one but it's okay so this will give them an opportunity to exchange autographs and it will keep them nice and occupied until it is time for our awards I obviously did not think this through because I cleaned out their supply caddies yesterday and they still need crayons and they still need scissors so I'm going to put out a paper bowl of crayons at each table and I'll just throw some scissors on there as well this is as good as it's going to get on the second-to-last day of school and just like that it is the end of the day and all of my chains are gone because these days are super hectic my students worked on their memory books and then we had our awards and then our picnic and then we just tried to survive until dismissal good news is I did have two parents who were my room this morning who wanted things to do so I had them closed all of these drawers with tapes that they don't come open when I'm moving them these are materials that the new second grade teacher dropped off I also had our tape clothes all of these drawers and you will notice my back table is just a little bit neater than yesterday all of those baggies of like date core items that were back here I put into one of these large storage bags from Dollar Tree and I just have them right now in one of those can the parent also tapes clothes all of these drawers are empty but I just don't want them flying open when I'm trying to move them as for my desk like it's kind of a hot mess right now these are their bags of the end-of-the-year gifts that I already showed you guys a couple of logs ago I'm just keeping those on my desk until the end of the day tomorrow this is my container with stuff it's supposed to be like essentials for my room that I need to have with me when I first in my classroom but I also ended up putting all my DVDs in here just because I didn't really have anywhere else to put them and this fit perfectly I also have my pencil sharpener in here in a plastic baggie and then I showed you all of this yesterday as well then I have my lesson planning binder which I need to go through and clean out I do still have these drawers because I have some things in there that I still needed to get out these drawers are not going to go home until after tomorrow is done because I am still using some things from those drawers these are nurse notes and tardy slips from the entire year I have to turn those in when I turn in my keys at the end we have to turn them in every year I still have another one of those storage bags ready these are some letters that have to go home with students tomorrow I have some thank-you cards out which I need to write for some gifts I received today this is the gift and actually I already gave one to one of the assistants in my room but this is the gift for the other assistants so this little canvas baggie came from Target and then on the inside there's just some chocolates a chapstick an Amazon gift card and then a handwritten note I also have handwritten notes and Amazon gift cards for two of the ladies in the front office because I feel like they often go unrecognized these are all of my students clips which I will let them take home tomorrow and then this is a baggie to put my keys and my key fob in on the last day of school [Music] shout-out to my boyfriend for coming and helping me because with his help we were able to get a lot of it cleared out honestly we fit a lot more into our two little cars that I kind of expected so we were able to clear off this entire bookshelf we also got everything from the back counter with the exception of these binders I need to go through those tomorrow we got rid of all of those iris containers that had a lot of my books and things in them so all that's really left are these big black tops which my parents are going to help me get on Thursday I do still have a lot more of like these clearer stare light bins I think my boyfriend I are going to try to take those tomorrow this is just like some small piddly stuff that we'll have to throw into the car I think I'm going to leave behind this paper I have these bins with extra like crayons and markers and some glue sticks just some random supplies I'm going to bring another box tomorrow and try to pack those in there these still need to get picked up these will be handed out to students tomorrow and then this has extra plastic bags and whatever I don't use I will just leave behind this is going to get picked up on my parents on Thursday and my stools hopefully will get picked up by them on Thursday same thing with all of these hopefully my parents also be able to get the scoop rockers and my rainbow drawers and my bookshelf I still need to clear off those binders I'm going to have them take my bean bag my chair my pillow my book buddies and this crate and all of my Rolly cards this obviously I've already told you guys a stain more Rolly carts over here and then my three drawer units over here all right we are officially done for today we have fit as much as possible into both of our cards we both need to go to the gym although I feel like I already got my workout in I'm sweating so bad right now it's another 90 degree day and I probably made close to what like 15 trips to the car so I'm very hot I'm very sweaty I'm very tired but I feel like I made a lot of progress tomorrow is the last day of school so we are going to trade out the tables that are in my room for desks in my pain teachers room because she told me she wanted my tables and that's completely fine with me obviously it doesn't make a difference as I won't be here so I'm going to get her my tables and then she'll put the guest into this classroom we have to get that done tomorrow I need to finish my read aloud book with my students tomorrow I have to read at last eight blues and then we're going to sit and watch a movie and that's going to be it Billy and I will also make another trip tomorrow try to fill up with more cards again and then whatever is left will have to go and either my car or my parents car on Thursday all I know is 3:45 on the nose and I have no need to stay late today because everything's packed up and I literally have nothing here to do so I'm going to go ahead to the gym and I will catch back up with you guys tomorrow just for the record this is what my car looks like not to mention my trunk is completely stuffed as well so one of my many Amazon orders came in today these are adult coloring books that I got for all of my teen teachers to go along with their Amazon gift cards it is a coloring book of how teachers swear so I think yes you can see some of the ones on the back I think they were like six dollars each but they were sort of way too funny to pass up on good morning it's the last day of school and I have a mix of emotions yes I'm excited for summer yes it has been a very rough year and I need some are very badly just for like my mental stability however it has really started to hit me this week and yesterday after the picnic I just say goodbye to one of my parents who had come to love so dearly this year and after she left the room I just lost it and I bawled for the next like 20 minutes and I can only imagine how I'm going to be today saying goodbye to my kids and I've already had parents messaging me that their kids were already crying that scream and it's especially hard this year because like I'm not going to see them again usually I'm going to continue to see them for third grade and fourth grade and fifth grade in my same building and this year I'm not and it's like really hitting me that I'm gonna miss them a lot so I shouldn't have even worn makeup because I know that I'm gonna cry today but I managed to get up at 7:15 and I'm still leaving by 7:30 so I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty proud of myself I'm going to go get myself a huge coffee probably two donuts and I will meet up with you guys at school I just got to school and went and hand-delivered some thank-you notes to some students from last year who brought me gifts yesterday I have my end-of-the-year gifts for my students ready to go I have the last day blues book ready to go to read to my students when we come back from lunch I mentioned that in my last video it is a tradition I always read on the last day of school and now I need to go deliver my team teachers gift my students are at lunch and I'm actually going to go up and eat with them the cafeteria because that is what I'm doing for my students this week for the teacher three but I wanted to give you guys a quick shot of my room before I do that as you can tell my desk is a hot mess I have stuff everywhere I haven't even finished my coffee from this morning because I've been dealing with behavior problems one of my friends is in ISS because he punched a kid and I can deal with a lot on the last day but when you started dating other students at that point you have to go like sorry but but team teacher and I went ahead and switched out the deaths in her room for all the tables in mind with the exception of this one because we ended up getting yelled at by administration apparently students or teachers are not allowed to move any furniture not even desks which none of us were aware of and it doesn't make sense because just this week our janitor had students helping him move tables but regardless we got yelled at but we did get most of it moved with the exception of the one table but obviously you know it doesn't really make a difference to me I did stack up all of my black tops I got all of my containers out of my cabinet and I have lost all of my cabinet so I literally have nothing left to get with the exception of this stuff stuff stacked up on the counters I have a couple of things on the back table my tart my stools those containers and then the stuff in my library I don't want to record this because I look so bad right now my eyes are like puffy and red because I have been crying and it started first thing this morning I was tearing up on the way to work and then I got here when my students started coming in you know they were bringing me like cards and I was reading them and I just like lost it this morning and had I got myself together until dismissal and then I completely lost it again it's like 3:30 now so let me cut it back up the last time I talked to you all my students had gone to lunch I went down and joined them and while I was there with lunch I finished writing thank-you cards for any of my students who brought me gifts came back to the room we read last day blues because I was a tradition of mine my since got everything I was there cubbies and then we had cupcakes that were provided by like PTA or something I don't know but we had cupcakes we ate those and then dismissal started so how it works for us car riders will go first and then walkers and then the bus riders we took them all up to the front and they would just leave as their buses came in I fall I'm not even going to lie I bawled my eyes out for probably an hour and have it started 15 minutes before dismissal and it continued until dismissal had been done for like half an hour and what got me the most was just the fact that I'm not going to see a lot of them again you know in years past I've known that I'm going to see them again in third grade and fourth grade and fifth grade and this year I'm not and yes I'm going to keep in contact with as many of them as I can and I do plan on coming back here to kind of revisit with them but I know that a lot of them I'm probably never going to see again and it just really really got to me especially my twins i form such an attachment with them this year and I love them to death and the girl was hugging me and wouldn't let go and she was crying and her mom was crying and like I just every time I would get myself together I start bawling all over again and her mom was actually going to take her and her brother home so they stayed until after all the buses were gone and even then like everyone else had gone inside we were the only ones outside and she just would let go of me it was just it was one of the hardest things I think I've ever done like it was really rough and I mean it it's happiness like I'm happy that they're going on to third grade and I'm so proud of them for how hard they work but I'm also sad that I have to say goodbye to them and I know that that's the family I'm 100% going to keep in contact with but still it's hard after I finally pulled myself together me and my team teachers all met because we had to stuff report card envelopes which first we have to handwrite at the bottom what grade our students are being promoted to so for all of them it's third grade I did not have any pretensions this year and then we have to sign them and then we have to make copies of the report cards then we have to stuff them and then we had to do with their permanent records so each student has it's like a piece of cardstock we have to fill out the year the school the grade and then whether or not they were promoted to the next grade level and then we have to stick these stickers on and then we had to put them with the copies of the report cards and then we'd to put them in alphabetical order for the entire grade so that's so probably like an hour I don't know but I'm so so fortunate that my boyfriend has been moving stuff while I was busy doing that so he took a load you'll notice there's nothing on my counter anymore ignore the bell I'm sorry I think that means it's 3:45 so he is on his way back to get another load of stuff I need to get all of those containers from my bookshelf and then that's pretty much it my parents are going to come and get the rest tomorrow so I'm going to go get busy moving stuff and I'll catch back up with you guys after [Music] I'm gonna give you guys one final look at my room for today so these are all of my Sterlite drawers my parents are going to get those tomorrow expo spray I'm leaving all of these dry erase markers I am leaving my desk is completely cleared off the technology I can leave our tech person will take care of it these are Expo wipes for the board I am leaving those those are my tardy slips and my nurse forms I have to get turned in at checkout this is a plastic bag for my keys which I will put in there tomorrow I'm leaving my flowers for now but I will take those home with me tomorrow tissues I am leaving this is my box of all of my stuff that I need for like the first day of school and I am leaving that here for now just in case I need anything and I'll take that with me tomorrow bookshelf is staying for the new teacher my team teacher was going to take it but we decided just to leave it for the new teacher this rug is saying I need to get a box tomorrow to put the rest of those binders in and then I'm taking my bookshelf my parents will be taking these this is all stuff that the new teacher has brought in all of my cabinets are locked and ready to go pencil sharpener and some extra tissues these are more things that the new teacher has brought in plus I had extra plastic bags paper towels and wet wipes I'll probably use some of those tomorrow but whatever I don't use I will leave this area is all cleared off my mailboxes are staying those are just extra poster boards that I'm leaving and then this is all stuff that my parents are going to hopefully be able to take for me tomorrow whatever does not fit onto the trailer and in their car will get taken by me in my car in case anyone was curious how I am storing all of this this summer this is what my office currently looks like and this is not even including so stuff is sitting in the bathroom some stuff that is still out in the living room and all of that stuff that I showed you that it's still in my classroom that my parents are coming to get tomorrow so in case anyone doesn't understand how much teachers have to spend on their classrooms this is all stuff that I personally bought with my own money I don't know if I should be proud or scared by this but this is what I'm going to be living with for the next two weeks until we actually move that's my life I have to show you guys my shirt before I talk about anything else so it's as straight out of pencils I got it on Amazon and it's just the perfect representation of the end of the school year I had an amazing night last night so after my boyfriend I took all of the stuff from our cars lift it back up to the apartment which I'm so tired of doing by the way we went out to a really nice dinner we went to a crop house and I got some stuffed shrimp and it was stuffed with Kyle Imperial and a salad and french fries it was amazing and my boyfriend got crab legs and potatoes and shrimp and clams and it was so needed after this school year it was so good just to sit there and enjoy the meal and not have to talk about school speaking of school I need to start heading there and today literally consists of moving those last couple things into my parents car and I'm sitting there and just waiting until they tell us so we can go because there's nothing to do I do have to check out with administration give them my keys and my tardy slips and my nurse slips but after that there's nothing like last year I said Harry watch Netflix so I'm going to go get a coffee because I will actually be able to sit and enjoy it today and then I'll catch up with you at school obviously I just showed you guys my classroom yesterday and nothing has really changed but I did want to talk to you quickly about my rugs so this black rug came from Target it was only 15 dollars and I've used it for a year to happen it still looks pretty much brand new so I'm going to take this one with me but this purple rug it has been used for three years and is absolutely disgusting I don't even want to think about the number of times kids have spilt milk on it during lunch brunch or pick their nose and wipe their boogers on it so it is going to stay I originally got this from boss cops for about $50 and I feel like if I got three good years of use out of it that's good enough for me and then this little rug I'm going to leave as well this came from Big Lots and I want to say it was like 20 or 25 dollars and again I've had this since my first year of teaching I've used it for three years I'm just going to leave it behind cuz I don't really have the room to be taking extra stuff [Music] [Applause] [Music] you have to ignore the ridiculous amount of dirt that is on my floor from underneath of my rug is so disgusting but it's about 9:45 my parents came around nigh we moved all the rest of my stuff everything that is back here belongs to the new teacher that is coming in and now I just sit and wait until we are told that we can leave [Music] so we just got the okay that we can go ahead and leave so I going to give you guys one final shot of my empty classroom before I go so this is my official last classroom vlog at least for this school year it is definitely better sweet I am ready to move on to like new adventures and the next step of my life and my teaching career but at the same time I'm really sad to be leaving here since I'm officially starting my summer schedule I am NOT going to have a video going up on Sunday my new schedule is
