The room is coming together - a little at a time. I remember these days. I like your idea of beginning the year without the bulletin board- less visual clutter. Allow the bulletin board to fill as the year progresses. The fish tank is in perfect view of the students. It will be a great reinforcement for an unknowing student. Great job!
Great video. I completely agree about the fridge and microwave looking better behind the desk. Unless the kids use them, behind your desk seems like the perfect location and makes them much less conspicuous. I hate clutter, but I don't think that area looked cluttered with them at all. This room is great. I'd do anything to have all that storage in my classroom! 🙂
The changing of the fish tank had me LOLing but it’s a tough call…the cord is an eye sore but keeping it in the corner is tricky for the kids to watch the fish as it’s behind the teachers desk and there may be confidential things around it.
Some suggestions: keep charging stations together for consistency and it looks neater, move fish tank to other end where you had it originally so kids can see it and purchase the plastic cord covers (they hide cords and are self adhesive - can even use up the walls, on floors, etc.), move fridge and microwave back to the original spot behind your desk. Purchase some plywood and cut it to the width of behind your desk and the height of the book boxes - 1) book boxes will have backing, 2) hides all of those computer cords. Cover the plywood with fabric or paint. DON'T let go of the standing desk - they are expensive and I know you can find a place for it - maybe pull your desk away from the wall a bit and lower the standing desk to make a side desk - put the fridge under it and the microwave on top - it gives you a little more space as well. BTW have watched since day 1 - always enjoy your setup videos!!
@_ThirdGradeSwag ...I hope you have a great year. I'm a first year Kindergarten teacher. I changed careers.😎 I'm excited and nervous. I have my room pretty much in order. I just really need to focus on the planning and admin side.
I like the fridge behind your desk. Maybe try the microwave on the counter closest to the outlet and the fish tank on the opposite end. The microwave will help conceal part of the cord. And your students will be able to see the fish. If the tank is closest to the outlet the students will have a hard time seeing the fish. Hope that makes sense. And if you put a couple of plants or thin baskets between the tank and the microwave it will help to hide the fish tank cord.
Love the video! I would put both of the Chrome Book charging stations on the standing desk. I would move the book boxes that are by your desk. They are too close to your desk. Have a great year!
I’m not sure where else to put the book boxes, though! Or where to put the standing desk with the charging stations 😅 I’ll have to mess around with it next time I’m in!
Love the set-up video! I have my fish tank by our sink. It’s easier to do maintenance and kids like to watch the fish while they wait to wash hands. Just a thought!
Could you put the microwave and refrigerator on the counter by the fish tank? I don't know, it may look too cluttered and you lose counter top space doing that. Yes, the piles seem endless at times! I love watching your classroom setups!
I get motion sickness from moving around with you. It's very disconcerting. Had to fast forward to only the parts it was stationary from a lower height. If I woke up tall one day, I'd probably get dizzy and pass out it seems. Yes, it's moronic lol.
@@_ThirdGradeSwag lol don't be silly. It's kinda hilarious. I'll just live my life at 5'3 happily knowing I couldn't cut it at whatever your height is. It has to be the height because it doesn't bother me any other time. It's freaking hilarious to me.
I cannot find the video where you were promoting the Creative Fabrica subscription, but I fell for your endorsement and subscribed. I was shocked to see that the site promotes far-right ideologies, including overt support of Donald Trump, and the promotion of a religious agenda. These positions are contrary to my personal values, and I can no longer support or be associated with an organization that endorses such views.They make it impossible to cancel, though. I am now required to call customer service tomorrow. Please be careful what you promote.
Our custodians are the best! And they don't get the kudos they deserve.
From a appreciative Para
We love our custodians and our paras!! Couldn’t do it without you ❤️

Thank you so much 😄
I was thinking the same..about the bulletin board. 💖
Me too
I like the tank and fridge/micro behind your desk. Looks much cleaner. Fun video!
Thank you!

You can place some of your gifts on the window ledge.

You made awesome progress! I really like those cube seats at the front of the room. I especially like that you did a color pattern LOL
I do, too! Nice and easy for kids to move around !

Mine doesn’t fit under the cabinets there or I totally would!
I agree, those rainbow drawers are not the best. Your room is coming along. Looking forward to the final tour!
Right?! The drawers constantly come off the tracks!
First year third grade here, after 10 years in junior high. Not even started with room yet. And yes, I hate cords too.
Have a great year!

My fridge is too tall 🙃
Great video! Your classroom is looking great so far.
Thank you!
Have a great school year! Love the fishtank idea ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Looks great!
Where did you get your desk? Love this video. Have a great school year.
Amazon! Actually bought it for my nephew and loved the layout so got one for myself!
I wish I taught by you! I would looove some stools. Those are so nice.
@@lilmarsh1 thank you!
If you move your desk down alittlw out your fridge and microwave next to the desk and wall.
I’m gonna give this a shot next time I’m there!
have a great 2024 and 2025 school year
Thank you!!!
Where did you get the alternative seating that’s in the front of the room?
I had a partnership with a fortunate company a few years ago so got it from them!
Hello! Where did you buy your desk?
Amazon! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CB1DTMPM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
You are so stinkin’ handsome and your room looks amazing and finally someone who likes fish tanks just as much as I do!
Why don’t you use the rainbow drawers for your books?
Like my library books? I have way too many books for that!
I passed 10k Nelson!
Atta boy!!
Also I finnaly got a microphone blue snowball
