SUMMER STOCK UP!!


My summer is off to a great start! I'm enjoying the summer weather and I've been busy making some new stuff for my classroom! I'm excited this year because I don't have to move classrooms, YAY! I've moved the last 2 years and man it's rough... This summer I have some basic organization projects to complete like my filing cabinets... Too many papers and I don't know what's in all of them... OOPS!

Today I'm going to share some of my favorite ways to decorate and organize your classroom!



One of my favorite things is student numbers! I use the same numbers for various things throughout my classroom. In the first picture, I print the numbers small, about an inch wide and then put a magnet on the back. When the students come in, this is how they choose their lunch for the day.  We have a main dish, a choice and then cold lunch. I have used this system for 2 years and I LOVE IT! I got the pizza pans from Dollar Tree!

The next thing I use the student numbers for are book baskets! I have used these green ones from the Dollar Tree for 2 years and they have been great.  I ordered lime green book boxes from Really Good Stuff for this year and I will still be adding the numbers to the front.  


Here are my numbers for this next school year! I'm in love! and pretty soon I'll let you know how to get them...

Another way I keep myself organized is with a Teacher Binder! I actually make binders for all different things because I find I have way too much stuff to go in one binder.  This year I've made 4 different binders! An update for 1 and 3 new ones. I also make my own Lesson Planner for each year.  

I make a generic one for the first few weeks because the schedule always seems to change and then I make the final tweaks, print it and then have it spiral bound at Office Max. It only costs about $5 and I love having something that's completely my own.  I make my planner using PowerPoint, it's pretty simple! Just need to add cute fonts ;)


I also put a year long calendar in front of my lesson planner so I can write down other important notes and reminders. Here is my calendar for this year!
