Classroom Set Up Day 4 | Adding the Finishing Touches to My 4th Grade Classroom | Little Helpers 💕✨

[music] >> Good morning everyone. Welcome back to another Apples and TR's vlog. Today is day four of classroom set up and we are ready. I have two little helpers in here today. I don't know if I'm allowed to show you guys on YouTube, so >> Okay. >> Come over here. Don't So for number one and come on. Go. And helper number two. There's my babies. My babies. This is my little sis. >> Yeah. >> We decided we were sisters on day What? Day one? Day two of school? >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Um they are big old icky fifth graders now. Um but they're here to help. So we're very excited. They have They have their little jobs they're going to start working on. Katie is washing cabinets and then she's going to touch up the paint on the cabinets cuz they're all chipped. Katie's going to wash cabinets and then touch up the paint cuz they are chipped. >> I'm not good at painting. >> I'll teach you. I'll teach you how to do it. >> I'm ready. >> And Max, why don't you start doing the clipboards? >> Um what do you >> Yeah? Okay. >> Wait, but >> Put them in the seat sacks. >> Wait, but I have to be like careful. >> Yeah. >> I have to be careful cuz >> Yeah. I think I have a sponge. I might even have an apron you can wear. >> Yeah. >> I'll find the apron. Okay. So today's day four. We made a lot of progress yesterday. When I say we, I mean me. Around. Okay. So this is what we're working with. We don't have a ton to do. It's mostly just fine-tuning stuff and organizing and then I have to start printing everything. Um so this is what the room is looking like. We're going to do the birthday wall today. We're going to organize the colored pencils today. Well, we are not. Katie has decided she is going to champ that job. Uh I am also going to hang the lights cuz I have fishing wire and a a stool. A ladder. I have a ladder. We're going to reorganize the library books cuz those need help. We're going to put these new books away. We're going to Ooh, there's some walls that need washing, too. So, Katie, maybe before you finish with the sponge, just kind of cruise around and look at all the walls. There's like pencil marks that like icky, gooey stuff. Just give it a little scrub. No. I don't I don't wash the roof. This is my current favorite purchase. These are rechargeable battery-operated light bulbs in the correct size and they actually work in the light bulbs. So, you literally just turn it on and so you don't need a light um lamp attached to power and then they come with rechargeable like cords. And then so I put them in these lamps over here and I cut the cords out of the lamps so that they could sit on the counter top and the remote turns them on. You just point >> to the lamp and it turns them on. Isn't that cool? That's my new favorite toy. All right. Something else we got in the mail today. Well, we got it last night. Niimbot has reached out to me and has asked me to check out their smart label printers. So, I have two different ones here that I'm going to try. Um one of them is called This one's the Niimbot N1 label printer, battery-operated. And then we also have the smart label printer. Um and this is called the B31 Pro. Look how cute it's like vintage. And so these are label printers. We're going to try them out. They also came with the ribbon and carbon tape set. So I'm assuming this is supplies you need to print your labels. And then they also came with two thermal label uh packs. So we're going to check those out and potentially use them for some labeling projects. I will have both of these labels uh these label makers and their supplies linked at the top of the description box below so you guys can check them out. I will also have a coupon code uh written down there so you guys can get some money off if you need a little label maker in your life. So we're going to check those out in a little bit. >> [music] [music] >> Okay, friends. It is 10:30. We haven't been filming much because I have all these rugrats in here and they're talking a lot. But that's okay. So, what we've accomplished is the ceiling lights, which are not finished. I need to order more hooks cuz I don't like the pattern that they're making at all. But it's fine. Um so, it'll be okay. We hung the disco ball. It's up there by a magnet. Please pray that it doesn't fall on anyone's head. The magnet's pretty strong though. I think it'll be okay. Uh we finished the birthday wall, so all the birthdays are written on there now. And I went ahead and hung the birthday list inside of the cabinet, too, just so that I know when the birthdays are. What else have we accomplished? >> I don't know. >> They have started sorting the color pencils, but nobody wants to do >> And then >> that job. Katie's finished the waiting room. >> I >> We finished numbering all the ducks. >> I have painted the wall. >> All the ducks >> I decided to use these for student numbers. Um and then the extra animals are in here. We don't know what we're going to use them for yet, but we have an idea. >> Two little animals like a crab. >> What else? Oh, yes. We have labeled all of the remotes that I have that I have. And oh, you lost the back of one. We've labeled all the remotes that I have for all of my gadgets and let me show you what I used to label them. All right. So, I used the Niimbot B21 Pro labeler as well as the Nimbot N1 labeler. These, can I just tell you, are so cool. So, you connect them via Bluetooth using the Nimbot app. And then, there's tons of different templates and styles that you can choose from, but they just print the cutest little labels. I went very basic for my first try cuz I was just kind of playing with it. Um but you can pretty much add like any design, any font. They have little like pictures or clip art that you can add to the different um labels. But you just print them using these little label makers, and they're so nifty. This one So, these two labels came from the Nimbot 91 Sorry, N1. And then, these three came from the B21 Pro. I'm I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty positive you can purchase different color label tapes. Um and probably different colored ink. I'm going to have to check on that before I Okay, so this is pink ribbon. Oh, they sent me pink. >> [gasps] >> Cute. Okay, so you can print on ribbon, on stickers. And then, they also sent me the thermal labels. So, I believe that's what goes in this guy. And they sent me yellow. Oh, this is called baked. Okay, so this is in the shade baked. Oh, that's so cute. It's like a yellowy-brown color. And then, they also sent multicolor. Oh, this is awesome. I love this. Okay, so multicolor comes with like, obviously, multicolor tape uh and pink They clearly know my my style. And then more of the baked color. So, this is really cool. If you check out there I'm I believe that they have an Amazon shop um as well as their own website. But from what I can tell here, you can purchase different colored ribbon and labels. This is ribbon. This is like a creamy ribbon. And then you just print your labels on either ribbon or the thermal label label stickers. And then again, you can change the font and the design for each of your labels. You connect them both via Bluetooth. And then you just put it in the app what you want, and then you hit print. And it's good to go. This is so cool. Look how cute this one is. It's like vintage looking. We played around with this a little bit this morning. I'm very eager to play with it a little bit more and see what cool things I can label. So, I started with just my remotes. But I had the cutest idea. Well, actually Nimble had the cutest idea. They thought it would be super cute to print a personalized label for all of the birthday cups that I'm going to be making all year. But I'm probably going to end up using this to label like folders and supplies. And it's just going to be such a great tool. I don't have a label maker. Um I was just doing kind of like old school printing on sticker paper and then cutting it out, but this is such a game changer. So, anyway, if you guys are interested in either of these Nimble label makers, I'm going to have them linked right in the description box below as well as a a coupon code for just you guys, for just my viewers. And I'm pretty sure like I'm going to have to go on the website or on the Amazon store and check it out, but it looks like you're going to be able to purchase a lot of different colored ribbons or carbon tapes and also a lot of different colored thermal labels, so the stickers that you actually print. So, we're going to play around with this a little bit more in the next week or two and I'll continue to check in with you guys and show you what I'm using to label. Um using it to label. But, this is so cool. So, Niimbot, thank you so much for sending this over. This is a complete game-changer. Um yeah. >> [laughter] >> My [gasps] dreams just came true. Mercedes just came in and was like, "Hey." I said, "You're going to hate me, but can we switch desks because it doesn't fit my vibe, my dark academia vibe." >> [laughter] >> These desks are going to fit her classroom theme so much better. She's doing dark academia with sprinkles of Harry Potter and Hogwarts and the the wooden desks just fit her room so much better and the gray and black ones that match that table are going to fit my vibe so much better. So, we just I just I win-win. So, since we have all these little tiny humans, we're we're doing the great furniture swap. Good job, guys. You're crushing it. >> Again. >> Crushing it. >> For the third time. >> You guys, I'm obsessed with my classroom. I think this is my favorite classroom I've ever had. Like my heart feels so happy. All right, let's talk. So, the girls have finished the colored pencil job. They emptied all the colored pencils from this bin into the respective drawers. We still have a little trash pile and stuff to clean up, but that task is done. We swapped desks with Mercedes and so now everything is a little bit lighter. We did have to make a little bit of a change because, and this is probably not a bad thing, I have too many books for the bookshelves that I have. So, I decided to bring this library cart over here cuz that's kind of what this is intended for anyway. I did put it together weird, but I already threw out the extra little basket thing that goes on top. So, what I might have to do is put some book bins up here or a basket. And then this is just another bookshelf, um an extension of this. So, I got to figure out where I'm going to put it. Um it'll be fine. No one ever complained having too many books. Or maybe I need to go through my books and like chuck the ones that nobody reads. That is an idea, too. So, what we ended up doing was we had more of these gray desks. So, I ended up just putting one over here like I used to do. Um and it's just going to be you know, used for what I needed it to be used for anyway. Um and it was fine because I wasn't finding anything to put on the two lower shelves because they lean um because it is made for books. So, this works out better. Um and [clears throat] we had an extra desk. So, uh yeah. And then I also swapped out the short desks for the taller ones back here in my teacher space. Which is perfect because now my legs will fit under it. I found my pink um gaming mat that I used to have when I was a gamer. Um and so I put it on top, so now it's way cuter. And then this little checkered one is going to live over here. I'm thinking about moving my document camera to this end. That way I can like stand here and see what it's projecting because if I stand right here, I cannot see what it's projecting on the TV. Like I literally can't see it. So, I think I'm going to just swap sides um of this, that way this end is kind of where I can be so I can see everything. And then, what else? Um There's a lot to do left, but I don't know where to start. So, I feel like I'm just in that stage where I'm like doing circles again, which is fine. Um but I need to like tie up some loose end projects here. I have this extra cart. I might take it home cuz I don't have a use for it anymore. And I could probably use that in like a bathroom. All right, it is 2:15 in the afternoon, and I'm pretty much done for the day. We're just going to putz around and maybe print some stuff and work at the desk and do some admin stuff, but let me quickly just show you around the room. And I think we're pretty much finished here with the classroom. I think everything else is just paper stuff. Okay. So, [snorts] we got Mia's cage put up and put together. We got the board all wiped and cleaned. Supplies is all sorted. Teacher desk is done. Little worker bees. The library is is probably as good as it's going to get. I need to figure out what to do with this cart, though. I'm not a fan of it just sitting there in the middle of the room. Not a huge fan of that. Um This is all stuff I don't really need. Uh it depends on how many kids bring folders. These are folders from last school year that we collected um instead of sending home. And so, if any kids this year don't bring a folder, I can pull from here and make them one. Um But, yeah, the place is pretty much done. I have to put These are um math games that I need to organize and put away. Um I'm thinking I might create a filing cabinet that has all of them in it so that I can just pull them when I need them. Um but, yeah, I think I think we're done. So, that is going to end today's classroom setup video. So, if you stuck it out to the end, drop a dinosaur emoji in the comments. And don't forget to follow me on all my socials, and I'll see you in the next one. Bye, guys. >> [music] [music]
