High School Science Teacher Vlog #12 | First Day Jitters Tag
The tag was created by SmartieStyle (on YouTube) a few weeks ago. However, I started school on August 21, 2017. I shot my First Day Jitters Tag video the night before while I was trying to do a dozen other things (not recommended and perhaps why I called my shoes, "slacks," in the video).
Feel free to share your first day jitters in the comment section! Thanks for watching!

High School Science Teacher Vlog #10 | Setting Up My Classroom Days 2-5
This vlog highlights a 5-day window when I went up to my school to finish organizing my classroom. This is the final week of summer vacation before teachers have to return to school. Based on my experience as a teacher and administrator, I know that I would not have enough classroom preparation time once we returned. Therefore, I made a trip up to the school to allow myself sufficient time for setting up my classroom.
This video mainly focuses on the final touches to my painting jobs and the addition of tennis balls for my student tables. Although I did some other classroom organizing, I did not highlight that in this vlog. Furthermore, I did not want to give too much away because I want to reveal it all during my Beginning of the Year Classroom Tour video. Stay tuned!
If you have any great ideas for organizing my classroom or general classroom organizing ideas for teachers, then please leave them in the comment section below. I would love to hear from you; as would other teachers! Thanks for watching!

High School Science Teacher Vlog #9 | Classroom Prep and Student Supply ...
Join me as I vlog about my Day 1 classroom prep for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year. I also talk about student group bins!
This vlog highlights a 3-hour time period when I went up to my school to start organizing my classroom. Teachers have 1 week of summer left (after the shooting of this video) before we have to return. Based on my experience as a teacher and administrator, I know that I would not have enough classroom preparation time once we returned. Therefore, I made a trip up to the school to allow myself sufficient time for setting up my classroom.
I also take some time to discuss my student group bins (boxes). I showed these in my End-of-Year tour video last year. However, I forgot to come back around to explain what I actually had inside. I've used group bins for a majority of my career and believe that the bins are one of the many awesome classroom organizing ideas for teachers.
If you have any great ideas for organizing my classroom or general classroom organizing ideas for teachers, then please leave them in the comment section below. I would love to hear from you, as would other teachers! Thanks for watching!
