Tour of my VIPKid and GoGoKid Classroom!

So for Valentine's Day my present to myself was to buckle down and get my office/classroom/spare bedroom organized. My awesome friend came over to help me do it!

First, we moved the desk away from the wall so that I would have a place to put my decorations or my green screen.

Then we decorated the wall behind me with these adorable color monsters. I figured they will be great to extend with on occasion as well. I have my name sign up and my white board for easy access.

On my desk I have my flash cards in my handy dandy case! I also keep my name post it and my post it that I cover my camera with before classes in arm's reach.

Directly under my keyboard I keep my squishy fruits. I found these at the Dollar Tree and it always surprises me how much I use them!

On my second tier, I keep my felt books from the Target dollar spot along with my Kindle Fire for showing Google Slides.

On my left second tier I have my shark puppet!

On top of my desk I have my popsicle stick props that I have stuck into styrofoam from Michaels. (I need to make some more props for sure. What is on y'alls must have list?)

I also have my wine rack that I turned into an office supply holder to keep the things I use ALL the time close to me, like my microphone!

I just got these sticker books in yesterday and I am SUPER excited to start using them tomorrow for rewards!

My friend had a flash of brilliance and convinced me to hang shoe organizers on the side of my set of bunk beds to hold my other props/supplies!

There you have it! My newly organized and revamped classroom!

Staples Engineering Prints

Last summer I decided that I wanted to re-do my bedroom. I painted the room purple, which i've always wanted to do, but the big thing I wanted was prints for my walls. I did a lot of research and man were prints expensive in the sizes that I wanted! Finally, I learned about Staples Engineering Prints They are super cheap, and actually print really nicely (even though the website claims they are not intended for photos). Take a look at how mine turned out (Don't mind the mess, this was still in the putting back together phase). How I did it: After my prints came in the mail, I went to Lowes and found This . All I did was trace the print on the insulation board, cut it with a regular box cutter, and paint the edges of it with a Paint Sample that accented my walls. The last step was gluing the print to the insulation board. I liked this spray the best because I could reposition the print in case I didn't line it up just so. After I got ...

Music for the Middle School Classroom

One of my most popular posts ever was my Pandora Stations for the Middle School Classroom I thought I would let you guys know about another gem that I found that my students LOVED! Rhett Price on Youtube does violin covers of current popular songs. When my classes were doing independent work I would put his channel on a playlist in the background (just listening, not watching). It was awesome to see the students bopping along and singing to themselves as they worked. ***Tip: Because my kids were so into these songs there was never a peep from anyone. If anyone dared to try to speak the rest of the class would shush them so they could keep listening. Here are a few of my students favorites: Rhett Price Youtube Channel Save Save
