Anyway, that being said, I have not been doing much preparatory work for school the last few days, as I have been helping him pack and trying to spend more time with him.
However, I did start organizing my materials for the first few weeks. I have always been a very organized person, but this year, I may be even more crazier. Besides having binders for each unit, now everything is in sheet protectors! No more holes in the side of the "master" copies.
I also started sorting through all of my task cards, cart sorts, etc. and organizing and labeling them! I bought these poly envelopes because they were colorful, durable, and convenient. Why do I say convenient? Well, I am in three different classrooms during the day... and never the same room two periods in a row. So, I need something small and portable to stick in my backpack. :-)
Not colorful, you say? How about when you see the first tub? They are now in chronological order as well.
Hopefully I keep up with the organization and put everything back in its rightful place as we use it.
Do you have a twitter handle?
ReplyDeleteyes! @missmath13
DeleteI joined Twitter a looong time ago, but never got into it. In fact, I forgot about it. But, maybe I'll start mingling in. :)
Can you share your source for the poly envelopes? Love those for keeping card sorts and activities organized. I use big yellow envelopes now, but those would be so much better!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I bought these:

However, I bought them in a Staples store when they were on sale for $0.50 each. Keep an eye on the circular if you have a Staples nearby! :)
