Let’s talk organization. Naturally, I’m not a super organized person but I learned quickly as a teacher you kinda need to be organized. Thanks many years of teaching, I’ve found some simple organization tips that have really helped me through the years. Let’s start with some of my MUST have supplies- Binders, Page Protectors, and Packing Tape.
Binders-
They are great for organizing teaching units, lesson plans, and more. This year
I have filled 4 huge binders with all of my favorite tpt/blog worksheets.
Before this system, I had papers stuffed in filing cabinets and folders. It was
one huge mess! I am such a visual person
so this system has been wonderful for me. Binders are not only a great way for
teachers to stay organized but my students love them too! Each student has
their own BEE binder. It keeps them so organized. To check out more on how I
organize my BEE binders, click here.
Packing
Tape- Have you seen this cute pin? I use so much packing tape. The best tip is
to use packing tape for your Books on CD. I use packing tape to store all of my
CDs for the Listening Station. Instead of using ziplock bags, you can tape the
CD cover directly inside of the book. I usually tape it where the slot is
facing up to prevent the CD from sliding out.
Page
Protectors-They work wonders. The possibilities are endless and did you know you
can still make copies even if the originals are in page protectors? I love page
protectors as little cheat sheet necklaces. Here is a cute alphabet one. They are
great for wearable signs and posters. My students love to be "green" by using
them in my word work station with dry erase markers. You can also cut them and
make them any size!
What are your teaching tips? I'd love to know!
