Cricut Tip: You can type your entire word, sentence, phrase in a single textbox. Size it the way you want it, then press "Advanced" and "Ungroup to Letters" and it'll seperare all the letters for you! Instead of you creating a new text box for each letter. Hope this helps you save a little time while creating!
This is my 14th year of teaching and I am STILL looking for new ideas to set up my classroom. Thank you so much for these videos! you have given me a lot of new things to implement in my classroom! enjoy your maternity leave!!! Your class already looks amazing! Can’t wait to see this video.
I think it is time to get a Cricuit! I´m in year 24! I bought one for my daughter her first year of teaching with the agreement that she would make what I needed. She is way too busy with her own classroom set up to also have to do mine!
One thing I do on my cricut to help me measure is to place a shape of the space I’m going to use on my cricut design space grid. For example, if I wanted to make a header for a 5ft bulletin board I would put a square that measured 60 in then place the letters to fit that square. Delete the square and ungroup the letters to cut.
Omg when you said “ what font size do you use” in that voice. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was so funny cause I can tell that’s the question you get the most. Thanks for the awesome tips.
It took me 4 ours to setup my classroom. 24 tables, 2 closets, 1 chalkboard. All kids new pencils and crayons and we are ready to go. Of course we made a chalk drawing about the storytelling for this year. Lol. It is so nice to see how others doing it.
The clutter pile! I do the same. My mom gave me a book called "How to Clean Your Room!" when I was 8 and that's what it had me do. I still do it to this day in my classroom.
Wow, your classroom looks amazing! Your sub is so lucky that its ready to go!! Looking forward to the tour and all the best with the arrival of the next baby Coates🥰 x
You are wonderful! Do you remember in what video you talked about your Mrs. Coates vs. Class system? Was it one of your recent classroom setup videos or from years ago?
Just to share a laugh... UA-cam tried to PLAY me! I was watching and was ready to watching day 5 (I was a few days behind as I had only watched day 1) and clicked the recommended as those have been correct the entire time thus far and I noticed your classroom looked COMPLETELY different... then I realized... that was day 5 of classroom set up for you... 3 years ago 😂
Loving your classroom, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing the information on the Cricut, however don't have one or a laminating machine.. I'm afraid I'm doing it the same old way, clear tape and cutting with scissors. However I definitely see how much time u save have those machines. Can you share more on your "Mrs.Coates vs the 2nd graders" how does it work?
Cricut tip: you can use the square and make it the size of the paper and fit your letters in there That way you don’t have to do any extra work and you’ll know what it looks like on the paper or that size!
Your added colors to go with the teal and green really make your room pop! It is so pretty. Will you still talk about how you went about planning for a sub to do 4 to 5 months? I hope your sub is a veteran as taking over at the beginning of the year with the uncertainty of covid rules seems so daunting! How old is Cade now? Also, you are amazing. Nearly ready to deliver and still working on getting a classroom decorated! 😍🤓
I mentioned on my instagram that I can't because the sub needed her binder. I made an entire highlight on my instagram going through the entire binder! @earlyedventures
I’m wondering about the Mrs. Coats vs. 2nd Graders. I’m a first year teacher and would love more information. Do you know what video you talked about it in or a time frame?
Love your videos! Can you explain your team points more? For ex. How will you manage giving each team their coins throughout the day? (Will each table have a bucket, etc). And what will the winning team win for the week?
Your room is amazing! This is my 8th year and I’ll be teaching 3rd for my first time this year. I love your voice level board, where did you get your lights?
Ok you just used hot glue on the wall for the letters and they stayed. Looking for ideas for my sons college wall decor and how to keep them on the concrete wall. thx
Loved all the Cricut info. Your room looks great! Where did you purchase your black table caddies and colorful trays underneath? Can't wait for the final tour...BUT...you are going to need some rest before the Big Day.
I absolutely LOVVVEEE your classroom! It's exactly the classroom I would've wanted as a 2nd grader! Also, do you need to add a "." to Mrs in the Mrs. Coates vs 2nd graders? :P That may not be something 2nd graders learn yet, but my OCD is twitching! haha. I've REALLY been wanting a Cricut to label things around my house (like the spices) & help organize all the closets!
So I am curious…with you laminating and then cutting out doesn’t that break that lamination seal and cause it to come apart? The very first time I learned how to laminate I was show to cut and then laminate the letters and then cut them out so they are sealed but this would save so much time!
I'm not sure if you have already mentioned it but what is the length of the magnetic rod you use for your dates on the white board? I love that idea and have a couple in my amazon cart but I want it to be long enough to fit day of the week, month, date, year on it.
I’m a college student studying to be a teacher. I moved back home because of COVID and switching colleges. I do the same pile system and it drives my mom crazy!😂
@@EarlyEDventures not sure how to describe the felt/material containers that are clothlike and fit in the white shelves around your room that fold out to be cubes.
if you ever want to hot glue to the wall put down masking or painters tape onto the wall and put the hot glue onto the tape and then when you’re done with them you can just peel the tape off and there’s no hot glue or paper stuck in those little spaces
What setting did you put on your Cricut for cutting through laminated card stock? I’ve tried the card stock setting and it didn’t cut all the way through
Do you always use the medium cardstock and default pressure when cutting laminated cardstock? I tried to do it using those settings and I found that the laminate peeled away from the cardstock when it was finished
I have played with different pressures! When it's laminated cardstock I usually do the most pressure. This was just laminated regular paper, so I didn't need to!
I did it for the sake of the video!! Also, when they are individual you can space them out better! But you can type the whole word and just ungroup them. Same thing!
@@EarlyEDventures That makes sense. I'll try again tomorrow. It's 1 AM here, I probably should have been done working hours and hours ago. Thanks again for the tip.

I’m so sad this is the last classroom setup! Yours are always the best every year❤️ Your room turned out really good this year!!

This Classroom Setup Series was amazing! I enjoyed watching it and it helped me setup my classroom! Thanks Shelly! 😊
Shelley: “If you are an OG here…”
Me: “Oh geez she is about to make a pile” 😂
Thank you for showing how you use your Cricut. I just got one and will be setting up my classroom this week!
Hi Shelly. I just got a new Cricut. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for showing how easy it is. I am excited to use it in my classroom.

I’m so excited to se the cricut tutorial……my husband just bought me one.
Your room turned out beautiful. I recently started using the Cricut for my headers and you're right it's been a time saver!
Always love it when "the pile" makes an appearance. I do this too so don't think you're crazy! It's a way of seeing everything at once :D
Wow! It looks awesome! Best wishes with your upcoming maternity leave!
The clutter pile! I do the same. My mom gave me a book called "How to Clean Your Room!" when I was 8 and that's what it had me do. I still do it to this day in my classroom.
As soon as you said "If you are an OG" I knew what you were going to do LOL. Your set up videos are so fun to watch!
Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve been on the fence about a cricut but just know how it actually work. I’m definitely going to invest in one soon :)
I love your classroom, it gave me so much inspiration for my future teaching career!
Wow, your classroom looks amazing! Your sub is so lucky that its ready to go!! Looking forward to the tour and all the best with the arrival of the next baby Coates🥰 x
I love watching your classroom setup videos! Your room is so crisp and clean :)
Love your classroom my classroom is my channel photo and I’m still in the same room , I’m super excited to do a Dr.Sues themed room .
I just got a cricut and I am so excited to use that hack!!
Love your videos! I would love if you would go over how you use those "Sound levels" lights in your teaching. Thanks for everything!
I'm about to start my 3rd year of teaching and I am soooo going to steal my mom's cricut for my classroom this year!
What do you do on the kids birthdays?? 😊
❤❤❤ Makes sense! Saves a lot of time!
Like watching classroom set up video
I’ve heard that you can spray paint your laminated letters with two coats of clear matte paint to reduce shine.
Yep!!
I can't wait for this I like watching her videos of class room set up videos
Same on cleaning the clutter. Dump it all in one spot and then find homes for all the things.
U are. The best you inspire me to be a teacher
You are wonderful! Do you remember in what video you talked about your Mrs. Coates vs. Class system? Was it one of your recent classroom setup videos or from years ago?
Oh gosh I don’t. I have talked about it a ton in a bunch of videos. I will be going over it again in a classroom management video!
Looks amazing! I can't remember if you've shared before-- would you mind telling me which planner you use? Thanks!!
I have used a different planner each year! This year I am using the Erin Condren planner I showed in my last giveaway video

Have you used the cricket for anything at home? Organizing, kids stuff, etc?
I have for other labels!!!

Walmart!
Ever since I saw you add the black tape to your black and white scalloped borders, no one else’s look right! And a LOT of people are using that one!
Make a more tags for your classroom supplies
Do you ever use removable vinyl on the whiteboard
Yep! I have done it in past vlogs
@@EarlyEDventures Oh ya I remember now
Ok you just used hot glue on the wall for the letters and they stayed. Looking for ideas for my sons college wall decor and how to keep them on the concrete wall. thx
Can you please tell me which Cricut mode you use? Want to make sure I get the one like yours!
The maker!
Any info. on your little stage? I love that! Did you have to build it? Do you have measurements or anything that might help make something similar?
It’s from @classystages on instagram
I know you’ve used removable vinyl before on the whiteboards. Do you prefer this new method (cardstock plus double sided tape) better?
Yes!
So you use the poster board setting and it cuts through the laminated paper?
Depends! Sometimes I try a few. Poster board was what I had set last time I used it and it work so I just kept it 😂
Just out of curiosity why don’t you use vinyl or removable vinyl for your whiteboard cut outs
Great videos and great ideas! Thank you. Quick question, how do you get the bullentin boards to stay put on the whiteboard? Thank you!
Double sided tape
Thank you!
Make a Sub bins
Loved all the Cricut info. Your room looks great! Where did you purchase your black table caddies and colorful trays underneath? Can't wait for the final tour...BUT...you are going to need some rest before the Big Day.
Michaels!
Thank you for doing this. I would love a Cricut but being recently windowed(totally unexpectedly) I cannot afford one currently. Alicia from CT
So sorry for your loss 💔

Nope!
Where do you get your black tape for your whiteboards or what is it called? Does it peel off pretty clean?
Linked in despcription
The 0 with the black on the inside is bothering my ocd 😂 I’m going to miss your setup videos!!
I added the black lol
Your room is beautiful but where do u teach? I don't see a smart board or a lot of whiteboard space.
Northern CA. The TV is our "smart board"
I bought my Cricut for teaching purposes, but I used it to make my mommy/daddy paddles for a game at my niece's baby shower.
Where did you get your number line I LOVE it
www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:rainbow%20numberline
Hey my mom has a circuit I love it
What’s the difference between a circuit maker and a circuit air?
I’ve had a cricut since Christmas and I haven’t touched it. It does look pretty simple to use, but sizing the letters is what scares me 😂
I'm not sure if you have already mentioned it but what is the length of the magnetic rod you use for your dates on the white board? I love that idea and have a couple in my amazon cart but I want it to be long enough to fit day of the week, month, date, year on it.
I honestly have no idea how long they are! But if you just search "magnetic rod" on amazon all of those are perfect and adjustable!
Not sure if I missed it but what material do you set if it’s laminated card stock?
I used laminated paper, so I set it to cardstock. I would try setting it to Posterboard if it was laminated cardstock!
I’m a college student studying to be a teacher. I moved back home because of COVID and switching colleges. I do the same pile system and it drives my mom crazy!😂
Are you willing to share your Cricut files for the dry erase and bulletin board ?
I don't have any Cricut "files". I just do exactly what I showed in the video!
@@EarlyEDventures what do you use to cut letters like where are your letter flies then ?
@@keedorsey24 I’m confused. I use the Cricut just how I showed you in the video! Do you mean the fonts??? You have to purchase some fonts
Hi Keekee. It seems as if Shelly makes the letters needed and does not save a file because it is so quick. (Shelly I hope it is ok that I chimed in.)
How do you get the words to stick to the material type boxes?
What do you mean the "material boxes"?? Either I use either double sided sticky tape or hot glue!
@@EarlyEDventures not sure how to describe the felt/material containers that are clothlike and fit in the white shelves around your room that fold out to be cubes.
@@carolmichael8585 ahhhh hot glue!
@@EarlyEDventures thanks!
if you ever want to hot glue to the wall put down masking or painters tape onto the wall and put the hot glue onto the tape and then when you’re done with them you can just peel the tape off and there’s no hot glue or paper stuck in those little spaces
THIS IS GENIUS!
What setting/pressure do you use for cutting laminate on the cirut?
Depends on the Cricut you have to try a couple sometimes. Sometimes I use cardstock and sometimes I use poster board
You are almost to 100k
What are you using to stick your letters on your board with?
Double sided tape!
Excellent Video
What setting worked best for the laminated cardstock cutting?
It was laminated regular paper so I used the cardstock setting
@@EarlyEDventures thanks so much! I love the idea. Will be much more efficient!

Depends on the Cricut you have to try a couple sometimes. Sometimes I use cardstock and sometimes I use poster board
I think that type of cleaning/organizing is called bulldozing. I do it too..it's the only way my mind can clean lol.
Do you always use the medium cardstock and default pressure when cutting laminated cardstock? I tried to do it using those settings and I found that the laminate peeled away from the cardstock when it was finished
I have played with different pressures! When it's laminated cardstock I usually do the most pressure. This was just laminated regular paper, so I didn't need to!
How can I get the font? Is it available in Cricut Design space? Thanks
No you have to download it. Google it and it should pop up!
99.99k still staring at the number
Hey girl, why do you type each letter individually? Just type the words, and set the size at the top in setting.
I did it for the sake of the video!! Also, when they are individual you can space them out better! But you can type the whole word and just ungroup them. Same thing!
@@EarlyEDventures oh good! I was thinking, "man, I hope she knows!" 😉
Sike!! Lol...You do so much in your last pregnancy month. Take care!
I tried to laminate my cardstock then cut with my Cricut and it didn't cut all the way through. So disappointed.
You have to change the material because it’s now thicker than just cardstock. Put it on poster board and try that!
@@EarlyEDventures That makes sense. I'll try again tomorrow. It's 1 AM here, I probably should have been done working hours and hours ago. Thanks again for the tip.
