Growing Kinders is hosting a LINKY party!
Organization is one of my LOVES! If I couldn't be a teacher, I would be a professional organizer. Here are a few things that I want to share that might help you to organize your classroom.
Organization is one of my LOVES! If I couldn't be a teacher, I would be a professional organizer. Here are a few things that I want to share that might help you to organize your classroom.
Spaces and Places- An awesome book all about organizing your classroom. Debbie Diller has tons of great pictures in this book and lots of awesome ideas about how to use your space.
Lakeshore Organizer- I just had to have this! At the beginning of each week I pack each bucket full of the supplies needed for each day. Everything I need for my day fits into these buckets!
IKEA Buckets- I use these buckets for everything. They are cheap inexpensive. I bought them all for $1.50 but now they are 2 bucks. I take a picture of the contents of the bucket and wow! The materials all end up where they need to be without any question!
Color- I have become a bit OCD when it comes to baskets and bins. I am in the process of replacing many of my bins so that they are all matchy-matchy. Don't you just love the blue!?! I have gotten these most recent blue containers at the Dollar Tree.
Toolboxes- We call these our tool boxes. I ordered them through a teacher catalog. They were pretty expensive but an excellent investment. This is the third year in a row that I have used them and they are still as nice as when I first bought them.
***Update- One of my readers helped to locate these toolboxes. Go to Overstock.com to find them.
You can also find them at Ebay.

Cuteness- To make things cuter, I have recently started using ribbon and scrapbook paper. Check out my cute reading baskets :)
Guided Reading- To prepare for guided reading, I store all of my materials in the same area. I bought these shelves at Sauders Outlet for $5 each! I have a basket for each group and store all of my small group materials below on the shelves (p.s.- notice the blue again).

Stephanie, I have also become quite OCD with organization this year!! I bought a lot of my baskets and such at ReallyGoodStuff.com and color code my table buckets to the tables, my workshop groups to their colors, etc. It's really nice for my kids to know if they're in the square group they get the green bucket for literacy centers {challenge} but stars get the yellow buckets {reteach}. Luckily, the website had the colors I was already using! :) I also have the Lakeshore Organizer but instead of breaking it down by day of the week I use one for each content area. Thanks for sharing! :)

Do you use scrabble tile holders to put the kid's nametags in?!?!
I LOVE your ideas and your classroom looks great! I am working on organizing my room and am replacing tubs/containers to match in order to keep like things TOGETHER!! It is a process. You have given me several good ideas, thank you!!

Where did you get the tool boxes. They would really work in my class.
I love baskets and bins, and yours look really cute!
Please tell me what you used for your name plates so they stand! Love the idea and looking EVERWHERE!
where did you get the wooden name plate stands?? I 100% need those! Thanks!!
For instance, make your espresso at home before work as opposed to purchasing it from Starbucks for $3. Decreased those costly suppers out and cook at home at a small amount of the cost. In the event that it would appear that you're spending an excessive amount of cash on gas to get to and from work, then consider investigating mass travel on the off chance that it is accessible where you live.
