I would do two “book quarantine” tiers on the cart! The kids might go through the books quickly if they’re shorter books or if they end up not finishing it.

I wish my teachers had cute classrooms like this when I was younger

@charity_Danielle_ 4 года назад

In your reading area where you have that small white bookshelf you should switch out some on the books every week so it gives the kids something different to read and every week

@rhiannonslfaitken 4 года назад

I'm in the UK so not sure how old your kids will be. But i was thinking they might not fully understand quarantine? You could do a play for "book bath time" "book vacation" "book hospital"? So they know the books have to go away to be cleaned but its not a negative thing that they might not fully understand?x

I have a bin for “book jail” in my kindergarten classroom in which i put books that kids faught over or books that were miss-treated or were not placed were they are supposed to go. I usually leave the books in there for a week, and then put them back in their regular bin.

The third bin could be a “book hotel” for lost or misplaced books.

@SherilBrasher 4 года назад

Tip I’ve seen about putting up the paper alone: use a yard stick to smooth out as you staple. Also, using thumb tacks to temp attach in the corners First helps it to stay in place so you can use the yardstick method to staple in place.

Yes, I am so excited to teach! I talk about it more in my recent videos! But I will get more information once my training starts!

@emilliem2992 4 года назад

One way you could fix broken books is you colorful duct tape. And because you have a big range of reading levels you could put one color of duct tape for lower levels and a different color for higher levels Or in dif colored baskets what you think😬👍❤

I’m not a teacher yet, and I’m not even studying elementary ed yet, but I’m a senior in HS and I definitely know I want to be a teacher. With all that said, I’m so glad I came across your channel!! Your classroom is beautiful, and I never even though about using matte finish over laminated paper!

@ChristianpatriotUSA 4 года назад

For your book quarantine and hospital maybe use the third one for the supplies to help take care of them? Great channel!

@elishay810 4 года назад

For the Wayside School book or other books missing covers, you could try to find a high quality picture of the cover online then print it the same size as the book and laminate it then use clear tape to attach it to the book. Wayside School is 1000000% worth the extra work!

@a.d.9271 4 года назад

The third tier could be book recommendations/ book faves. Students could want to recommend these books to their peers and you could put them on display!

@proudestmonkee07 4 года назад

If you have any ELL/ESL kids or transfer kids from schools that may not be at the same level, it's good to keep some of those much lower level books. Maybe you could even gift them if you have too many to those kids to encourage them to read more at home? I used to be a refugee kids case worker and we never had enough of those lower level books. It can be discouraging for kids if they only have options that are grade-level if they're not quite there yet. :)

Do you use Eureka for math? I was a first year teacher last year and had no clue what to do with those whiteboard things you found, but found out they came with the Eureka curriculum for math! A bunch of lessons require students to use personal whiteboards, and they hold up the red side if they don’t understand.

Book quarantine was a great idea. Yes they are 3rd graders,but we are teachers and we are suppose to challenge their vocabulary to the next level. Vocabulary in the United States for our students are very low, because we don’t challenge/introduce our students with new words! Please never put a limit on your students learning. Not trying to be rude to any subscriber, but all subscribers are not Teachers.

The top shelf on the cart could be book marks and book buddies? The other 2 could be the quarantine books/book buddies and book hospital

@SandySanders81 4 года назад

Or the 3rd shelf could be for return to library after they have been quarantined or repaired

@shaiwilburn8691 4 года назад

For the 3rd tier you could do a teacher favorites so that the students can read the books that you like. I would put that at the top so that they can see the books easily.

@AtsircEcarg 4 года назад

Your room is adorable but don't get too attached. As a fellow teacher I I would advise you to focus more on getting your curriculum ready and working on virtual plans as a back up (in case an outbreak causes another closure at your school). We are in the middle of a Pandemic. Your district may ask you to follow the CDC guidelines for your room - your current tables are not safe. You may be told to do front facing desks only and to get rid of your small group tables and extra furniture. The desk spacing alone will require much of your extra furniture to need to go and things like cloth fabric - anything that can't be cleaned may need to go. In a normal year everything you are doing is amazing but this year is different and will require a different kind of creativity from us. keeping our kids and school staff safe is number one!

@brookehawken5195 4 года назад

@@lenamitzel If I remember correctly, Michael's put out their own brand of Recollections scrapbook cases and they tend to be a bit flimsier than the Iris brand ones that they initially carried. You can still get the Iris ones on the Micheal's website. I use one to hold all of my papers that I need to shred at the end of the school year. Happy teaching!

@cardavgomezboys8724 4 года назад

You could do a book rotation once a month. Like fill the bookshelf and then every month switch them out with the other books in storage. That way the kids have something new to red every month.

Hi Lena, you have such wonderful taste! I’ve never seen a classroom so pretty! Can you tell me where you got your alphabet pillow and paper sorter? The table is soo cute. I saw in your notes you did a DIY on it. Most classrooms have that area open with seats for the kids to sit in and put away. I love that your mom and sister contributed to your efforts. So sweet your mom found that globe. I was just as excited when my husband and I bought a globe for our children. I wish you the best of luck with the school year. Keep up your positivity and enthusiasm!

@allywatling4105 4 года назад

You could have the third tier be book donations. Like if the parents want to send books they don’t want or need anymore with their child to class so you could grow your library. Or you could use it for teachers favorites or books that the kids have been fighting over (like a “Book Jail”).

@chloemahan1385 4 года назад

for the 3rd one you could do a piece of paper and it could say : I recomend the book ____ because _______. So then kids could go look at the sheet when they want something to read but don’t know what to read. If u did this u could also let them put the book in there or have another bin they can book the book in that they recommended on the price if paper! It is a good idea to put lost books like the comment you liked though! Maybe you could do both! But this one is kinda confusing so you might now want to do this one haha! Luc ya and your class room is amazing and looks so good!

Scotch makes a book tape. Then I use clear contact paper to basically laminate the book. Also if the spine is broken- I try to use Elmers glue all in the spine and rubber band it until dry.

@Skye-zr6ri 4 года назад

For the books that are ripped up or messed up on the rind, you could put cute washi tape over it and then put clear packing tape over that to seal it (because sometimes washing tape peels off and it adds another layer especially for younger kids)
