Better late than never. Mrs. Patton over at Mrs. Patton's Patch is having an Organization Linky Party and because I like organization so much I am going to participate.
Here are pictures of how I organize my daily materials.
I keep all my activities, word sorts, picture cards, & worksheets (anything I need for my lesson) in this beautiful box. Well, it is not exactly beautiful, but I am working on it.
Inside you will find 5 hanging folders labeled Monday - Friday.
Each one of the hanging folders has 5 color folders inside. Those folders are assigned to a class by color. I also printed a label with the class name & time they meet. That way when subs are in my room they don't have to think about my color coding scheme too much. The color coding is more for myself & my students.
You can color code by subject, that is what I did when I taught Gen Ed, and still have everything at your finger tips daily.
When I am done with a folder I just flip it to the back so it is out of my way & I know what is next. Same thing with the hanging folders. As I make my copies & sort them I just put them into the corresponding folder. The day of I just pull out the folder & everything I need for that lesson is there.

ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your poly file folders? I have been looking everywhere for some that have 5 colors and I can't find them!!
ReplyDeleteLauren, I got them as part of a Lakeshore organizer. Because I don't use the folders with my organizer I repurposed them.

That is so funny you got those at Lakeshore! I have been toying with the idea of buying those organizers! Thanks for the response! :)
ReplyDeleteYour welcome.
ReplyDeleteI think those organizers are worth it. I like that they have a wire rack to sit in. They slide out nicely & I can fit a fair amount of materials in it. I've had it for several years now & it's still in great condition. I have used it for guided reading groups, storing daily materials, & storing materials by subject. Although I think I am going to use it for something else next year.
