I am horrible at organization.... although I keep my house spotless and clean at all times... I'm horrible at organizing at school and often lose important papers and have to reprint, redo things at school ALL the time! I'm really hoping I can get better organized in time! The only thing that I have really organized good is our reading series materials for HM. I have each theme in a notebook and then have it divided by weeks and all the materials for that theme/week is in that binder. And I have found that my STAR books that the kids take back and fourth from home to school helps keep all their items organized.<br /><br />Elisabeth<br />www.missdelk.blogspot.comElisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780189067315583620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428009951957370203.post-80943077622640306952011-03-25T11:28:35.011-05:002011-03-25T11:28:35.011-05:00I love that organizer!

I need to be better @ putting papers in it and not just piling them up on my back counter. So my intentions are good, but the actions don't always match.

I'm so in need of some order in my room - it's tiny and stuff is just everywhere!!! <br />My tip is that I have 3 wall mounting file holders - you know the kind that used to be on doctor office doors for patient files - <br />In the top I keep my emergency folder in the top one to grab on the way out for fire drills and such.<br />In the second I keep copies to be made and lunch cards to grab on my way to lunch (the copier is in the lounge so lunch is a great time to make copies without having to wait in line).<br />In the bottom I keep folders for my students that have pull-outs (sped and ell) with folders going home and back each day - they know where they are do they can grab them on their way out the door.The Peterson Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718340210377838955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428009951957370203.post-67205524491759965522011-03-24T22:44:52.865-05:002011-03-24T22:44:52.865-05:00I have a drink basket caddie that has sat on my de...I have a drink basket caddie that has sat on my desk forever.

In the tubs I keep all of that month's activities - February has Valentine's Day books, Groundhogs Day, Chinese New Year, Presidents Day, Dental Health...along with a binder of all of the papers/activities to go with it. Makes it SO much easier than trying to find all the different subjects within each month.<br />Another lifesaver -- a 4 drawer rolly cart filled with supplies that I keep under my computer table. It can be moved if needed, but is right where you need it!<br />THANKS!<br />Tess<br />Tess_Barnidge@yahoo.comTesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524126816715942235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428009951957370203.post-15663413195356021792011-03-24T22:21:16.030-05:002011-03-24T22:21:16.030-05:00I have one of those file holders, too!

I didn't do this my first two years of teaching, but before I started out this summer, I went in early and worked and worked and worked! It took some serious hours, but I have been loving it all year! I teach music, and even took it far enough to color-code each grade level I teach! (Kindergarten - purple, 2nd - red, 5th - blue, and every other grade in between!) Schedules and grades have never looked so good! :) <br />- Lindsey<br /><br />http://nothinbuttreble.blogspot.comLyrics by Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849343985123442336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428009951957370203.post-87968160482515180712011-03-24T21:24:25.234-05:002011-03-24T21:24:25.234-05:00I use a notebook for my lesson plans.

So I took our yearly plan for each subject and made a folder for each skill. I put these in alphabetical order in a plastic tub near my desk, so that everytime I found a great idea, game, etc. I copied/printed it and put it in the right folder. Hopefully I will be in first grade again next year so I can use all of the fantastic ideas I have found!!<br />KelleyTray's Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231066002408520207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428009951957370203.post-51895972328215248492011-03-24T19:42:31.208-05:002011-03-24T19:42:31.208-05:00I love it.
