    Hi Kim loved the video. I'm a retired teacher from Philadelphia. Retired after 35 years of service in January. Teaching my one and only job I absolutely loved my job had to retire early because of illness started teaching right out of college. Wishing you a wonderful and safe school year.

    Maybe you could make a library “niche” by turning the shelves into an “L” shape. You could use the back of the shelves as display for your small group area. Just something I do in my classroom. Good luck in your new school!

    Hey, Kim! I'm starting year 24 of teaching elementary and during my time, I have moved classrooms/buildings 9 times! Phew! I understand and can sympathize! Hang in there! Your room is looking great! Remember to practice self-care so you are ready for your kiddos and have a fresh mind when school starts. Also, I have bookshelves in different places around my room. This way the kids aren't all in one place, even with my procedure of 1-3 kids at the "library", I still like having them spaced around the room. I did like how you put the picture book shelves around the small group white boards. Looking forward to the next video!

    @shannonlee808 4 роки тому +1

    Just a thought, if you are able to move your teacher space to the other side of the whiteboard I would do that. Then you could put your library in the corner where your teacher space is now? Then all of the bookcases can be together? Not sure if your space has to be there because of tech set up, but if you can move, I might consider moving it?

    • @Heyu7her3
      @Heyu7her3 4 роки тому +1

      I think what I've seen in other teachers' videos is that they'll have a separate bin called "Used Books" or "Books to Shelve" (similar to those reshelving carts in the library). The students will be taught to put used books in the bin. Then, the teacher will disinfect them after school. Same with pens and pencils.

    Is the block of 3 shelves beside the drawers one big block, or can it be broken up? Because you could move the tallest and one smaller to the other side of the whiteboard, and then put the remaining one and the small picture book display at the top of the room beside the window? (Framing where you currently have the picnic table)

    Hi Kim! Your room is looking really good girl! Question: How do you get such free access to your classroom/school where the custodian is gone and you are still there by yourself so late at 11 pm? Especially during this time of Covid-19 I'm surprised they would. My building service people have a fit if I'm still in my room after 7 pm.even though our handbook says we can be there till 9 pm. Anyway I can't wait to see more!
