It’s finally up! The Official Music Room Tour for Mrs. V’s Music Room is here at last! In this video, I’ll show you some of my favorite features and strategies that I use on a daily basis. I will show you where my Star puzzle lives, some of my organizational options, and new-to-me decor that has completely transformed this space. I even show you inside my office, where I go to plan, prep and regain my sanity in between my teaching time. I’m spoiled, I know! However, my office is actually storage, as you will see in the video. But I promise, it’s organized chaos. I have many, many bins because I tend to be accident prone and spill many liquids. I need my documents to be safe in plastic. You can find most of those bin on Amazon. Check these ones out! I like to use the clear ones so I can see through the container easily. This helps me find what I need and quickly! There are so many more things that you need to see- I’m going to have to make a few more videos to fit it all in. Be sure to check back regularly to see them all! Did I mention that this is a brand new channel? Remember to like and subscribe! Find the official tour for Mrs. V’s Music Room below. Let me know what you think!
