\nHey y’all!! So I’m back today with:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nto share with you some organizational tips<\/b>!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n(I was not able to participate yesterday as I, sadly, do not get my classroom until the end of October this year…but I am still planning on linking up to Classroom Digs then!)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBecause I am still working and organizing from home, I’m just going to share two quick tips with you…two of my favs!<\/div>\n
\nI organize all of my math tub activities using these four 3-door storage units:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nInside each drawer is all the activities I will bring out for each month. I organize those in envalopes like this:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nthat I label with the name of each activity.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n(I should have taken pictures of the inside of the drawers so you can see, sorry. But I’m sure you get the idea!)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nHere’s another look of the three organized-by-month storage units:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter all of my monthly labels, there end up being 2 drawers leftover so I use those for:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n(where I keep all of my extra activities in case I want to change things up, use them as an “I’m done, now what?” activity, etc.)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n(where I keep most of the manipulatives that go with more than one math tub activities; such as large and small dice, a baggy of snap cubes, etc.)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nI also use this organizational system for my literacy centers.<\/div>\n
\nIf you would like to download your own copy of my simple chalkboard labels, you can grab a free copy of those HERE<\/a>.<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe last organizational tool I’m sharing with you today that I can’t live without is my Thirty-One teacher bag<\/a>!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n(notice all of the beautifully-colored pens\u00a0that I use ALL the time <\/strike>\u00a0that are mostly just for decoration)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nIt weighs about a thousand pounds and contains WAY too many things that I really don’t need to bring home with me every.single.night. but I love it and need it by my side!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nThe best part about it is that it fits one of those basic plastic hanging file racks so I can organize all of my materials with files and folders. I’m currently in the process of reorganizing my bag but you can see I still have a couple labels in (marking, notes\/ideas, and resources)<\/i>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nYes, one of the reasons my bag is so heavy is because I carry all of my “teacher manuals” back and forth every day in the hopes that I will be in the mood to plan ahead, which happens just about every single night because I’m super organized.<\/strike><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
