i just got moved to fifth grade and we use wonders too. i organized all the readers yesterday and it took soooo long!! luckily i had a bookshelf that fit them perfectly.
Great job! I just found out that we are hiring another preschool teacher in my department, so I’m basically setting up a 2nd classroom so that teacher is ready to go when we hire someone 😬😬😬 2 weeks until our school starts.
Bless you for being so positive! It was so unfortunate that the previous teacher was unable to organize the materials before they left. My principal always says to presume positive intent when it appears that someone has done something thoughtless, so I am visualizing something happy: the teacher was out on leave and the sub thought she would have a few days to organize after school let out, but at 3:00 on the last day she was informed that she was hired for summer school and she would have to start the next day and ran out of time. I just subscribed to your channel because you have great ideas and are always so positive. Thank you! 😊🌻🌞
Thinking the best is SUCH a great practice!! Totally agree! I remember how hard it was to pack up my classroom quickly and know that some things were not as organized there as they could’ve been! Plus everyone likes to organize and store things differently! Just thankful I had time at the beginning to get it set up so I know what resources I have and am able to access them in a way that works for me 😊
If there are books you do not want the kids to use then just do not put them out on the shelf! That way that shelf can be used for something else and no curtain needed to cover!
Could you move the tech table to the other side under the bulletin board? You have such a positive attitude about all of these changes and new surprises in cabinets. I would be a bit overwhelmed by that conglomeration of math materials socializing together in the closet! 😉😄 Where in Alabama did you used to teach? I saw you are also an Auburn fan from your shirt last video! I am in southeast Al down in Houston County. I taught first grade in Georgia.
I wish I could but the keyboard and document camera will have to plug in on that side! And thanks!! It was a little overwhelming but everyone organized and stores things differently so I was grateful that I had time to make it work better for me 😊 I taught in the Auburn area!
I ordered them online from the dollar tree last year! I have seen them in some dollar tree stores this year too! Then I made the numbers on my cricut! www.dollartree.com/jot-plastic-9-compartment-organizer-case/237368
It's actually from a retiring teachers garage sale years ago! Closest I have heard to one is someone said it's like a newspaper wire rack? I've never been able to find it to link.
Is there any reason you can’t display both alphabets? You have TONS of cabinet doors that you can put stuff up on. I know you’re planning a word wall for some, but maybe you’ll have room to run your alphabet across the top of the cabinets?
