ORGANIZE!!

Hey friends. Once again..I have no pictures of my classroom to show you. I promise I will. One day. I thought I'd show you my favorite products for keeping a well organized classroom! Like I said on Monday, I HATE cleaning. I HATE housework. I HATE organizing. But for some reason, at school, it's a little more manageable. And I truly think it is so important.

I ALWAYS have to have a planner that I carry around with me. I am using this one right now and LOVING it. If you're one of those people that can use Outlook...more power to you! I just forget things ALOT until that little reminder pops up and it's 5 minutes before!! :) Like an ARD that I need a years worth of documentation for! I just find it helps me be more "in the know" if I have one I can just flip open and take everywhere with me.

I think you all know that I am a binder FREAK!!! I use it to house student information, lesson originals, notes, and my teacher binder is my SANITY!!!  I always keep lots of extra binders around for when I need a new one. They are GREAT for subs too! I can't wait to show you my Sub Binder! 

I LOVE milk crates. These babies can hold anything and they are so cute! Currently, I use them to house my Teacher Books, but they are perfect for just about everything. I think I might make organize my thematic stuff this year in them. And I have used the same ones for 3 years, and never had one break. I don't have little ones touching them alot, but still...that says something!

Is there ANYTHING better for organizing than plastic shoe boxes?!?!? I mean come on..the possibilities are endless! I use mine to store materials, manipulatives, our classroom library books, etc. etc. etc. You can just never have too many.

Here is a little freebie of a few pages that are included in my Teacher Binder! They definitely help me stay organized! :)
