One way that I put books in my classroom my first year was to go to the campus library and check books out. I displayed them standing open so that the shelves looked cute. I also took books out of the grade level book closet and borrowed books from other teachers. Over time, I found more books at yard sales, teacher retirement sales, free book sites, and discarded Library books.
You are right when it comes to glue sticks. Kids go through them quickly, and you don't want to use the large ones because there have been too many times when the kids leave the caps off or don't close them properly. You also have kids who press down too hard on the felt tipped markers. Thank you for your video presentation. Take care.
love this video, as a school psych on summer break - I feel you!!!! quick question! what settings do you use on your camera? I have the same camera and have terrible quality in my car 🥲
I have to stuff textbooks in my cabinets over summer too. But i always put them on the shelf closest to the floor because it is most supported! I hope you were able to get it fixed!!
When we have old curriculum, our librarian takes it and either stores it or sends back to the district. Maybe you can check and see if that's an option for you. Storage space is prime real estate in a room and you should be able to utilize it all. Love the set-up videos!
Suggestion for the end of this next year is that all the textbooks should be stacked on your counter because the cabinets are made of osb/particle board (not solid wood) and not designed to hold that much weight.
