Organizing Teacher Space!
I am extremely neurotic when it comes to organization. I only wish my budget was unlimited so I could buy cute organizers for my cupboards… because I’m on a budget I make do with what the school provides me. I like to start my summer organization with all of the closed off cupboards. I am in a portable so I have no “built-in” storage. Look at how wonderful all of my large cupboards are!
(art supplies)
(teaching manipulatives/games)
(Clear out/organize worksheet organizer. Click HERE to read more!)
(I confine ALL my to-do’s/paperwork to be filed to ONE small basket on my desk. If I can’t fit anything else in my basket.. it’s time to stop and organize!)
(here is extra storage for essential supplies.. click HERE for more info!)
(Where I store all of my Big Books and music activities!)
Organization is key to staying calm throughout the school day. Knowing where everything is creates a calm peace of mind. And this is WHY I chose to share this with you guys FIRST. Like I said above, the first thing I do is organize the stuff you CAN’T see! I do this because as I rearrange things, organize student materials etc., I come across so many things that need to be put away. I feel like it is a waste of time throwing stuff away in cupboards and leaving it for the very end. Needless to say, if I save my things (cabinets, files, desk etc.,) until the end, I know I will never get around to it because my list is never-ending like I said! Getting ready for Back to School is a huge undertaking, and keeping organized is key!
