It's a little weird, I know...but I'm okay with it!
So I wanted to share with you how I organize all the random things in my classroom!
Paper Drawers
This bin is pretty self explanatory. It sits right under my wall calendar and this is where
I keep all the extra calendar pieces, any extra copies, and lined paper!
Turn In Bins
ALL work that needs to be turned into me goes into these bins!
(I had two different classes this year which is why I had two different bins)
Lost Property Bucket
This bucket is LIFE CHANGING!
Anytime something is on the floor or nobody will claim it...it goes in the lost property bucket.
And then when a student comes to me and says I can't find my black crayon...go check the bucket!
It has seriously helped me to stop dealing with all those little things during the day!
Extra Student Supplies
Students bring all the things on the first days of school!
To control their desk chaos, they are only allowed to have a certain number of supplies in their desks.
The extras go in either these drawers above or the shoe pouches below!
Then when students run out of glue or something, they can go and grab what they need!
Teacher Toolbox
I love my toolbox and I love that it keeps all those little things from junking up my desk drawers!
My shelf of organization!
This is where I keep all my organization bins.
This shelf is right behind my desk, so it's right at my fingertips!
bandages, mints, and nurse passes
Just a small 3 drawer that I bought at Walmart put all of these items
to make it easier for the kiddos to find what they need!
If you're interested in this little procedure chart, check out my resource library on my blog.
I hope this wasn't overwhelming!
I told you I could talk about organization all day long!
What's your favorite way to organize?
I love all of your amazing tips! I think my favorite has to be the Nurse Station - it's way too cute AND practical! I also love the Lost Property and Missing Parts buckets!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I'm pretty sure the nurse station idea came from Pinterest, I just made it cute! Lol!
DeleteThanks Caroline! I actually don't have that listed in my store! I'd be happy to send it to you if you want to send me an email. Rachelatalldrinkofwater@gmail.com
ReplyDeletewhere are your teacher tool box labels from? they are SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI purchased them on TPT from Teach Create Motivate. Here's the link! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Teacher-Toolbox-Labels-BRIGHT-Editable-1967459
DeleteHi! Where did you get the actual tool box from? I love it and I'm trying to find the same one!
ReplyDeleteI found it on amazon. 22 Bin Plastic Drawer Parts Storage Organizer Cabinet
DeleteI purchased mine from Home Depot!
DeleteTotally going to use the drawer system you have! I have a set of drawers for copies I've made for each subject, but the grade, copy and file drawers should definitely de-clutter my desk!!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly has helped me so much! It keeps those piles from just being shuffled around all week!
DeleteWould you mind sharing your labels for the three drawer bins?
ReplyDeleteThey came from TPT for free!! Here's the link https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Turn-In-Bin-Labels-Black-and-White-Chevron-freebie-1349859
DeleteHello! Where did you find the “grade”, “copy”, “file” labels? So cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find your "grade, copy, and file labels"? I cannot find them in your resource library. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI actually made them out of scrapbook paper and stickers!!
DeleteThank you so much for the ideas! I’m going back to teaching this year after staying home with my kiddos for the past 3 years. I always had trouble with organizing all the papers in my classroom so this gives me a great plan to start the school year with and use all year!��
