Can I get an amen?!? Now...change house to classroom, and we have a winner! This year, I am determined to stop pinning and start implementing. {I will let you know how this works out for me!}
Until then, I am counting my blessings, and I am teaming up with some of my sweetest bloggy BFFs to share some of my New Year's Resolutions. It never fails...one of my biggest resolutions {every.single.year} is to organize my life! Seriously, one can never be too organized! Right?!?
Here are several steps that I am *going* to take in the next few weeks to "get-it together" and organize my life!
Step 1: Erin Coronden Life Planner {Oh Yes!}
I have never *ever* been a write it down kinda gal! However {and this is a big however}, I either have too much on my plate, or my age is getting the best of me, because I forget every.thing lately. I can't wait for this sweet little love to come in the mail. I am hoping that this can add a few years to my life and keep me going in the right direction!
Step 2: Organize my plans and materials
It has been no secret this year that I have not been able to get ahead of the game. Moving grade levels each year has definitely presented it's share of challenges. Now that I am getting the hang of things, I hope to be able to get myself a little ahead each week. I love how my sweet friend, Lindsey, has organized her weekly materials. I think if I force myself to create a system, I will be better about thinking ahead and not waiting until the last minute. Something else that may add another 10 years to my life!
Step 3: Organize my Paperwork! {Ay..yi..yi}
One major change from primary grades to elementary...the graded paperwork! It becomes very time consuming in the classroom trying to figure out who has turned in what...who is missing what...who hasn't taken what....! I am so in love with this little system for turning in papers from Simply 2nd Resources. I love how in just one glance you know exactly who has turned in what and what you are still missing. This is genius! Period! Check it out by clicking on the link above!
Step 4: Organize my Chapter Books:
I have posted information about how I organize my library many times, but one thing that I just hadn't quite figured out is how to level and organize all of my chapter books. Then, I stumbled across this system above. Again...genius! This system uses paint sticks and alphabet stickers to organize books by level! Seriously?!? How easy is that? I love...love...love this and can't wait to give my chapter book organization a makeover ASAP!
Step 5: Organize My Jewelry
I know, I know...you say this has nothing to do with school...*but*...if I could find all of my accessories each morning, I would arrive to school 15 minutes earlier! Which means that I could get more things ready in the morning and leave earlier in the afternoon. Or...it means that I could sleep 15 minutes longer in the morning. Both situations are a win for me...and my husband, since I am always asking...have you seen my________?!? {Like he even knows what the heck I am talking about, and he is *so* not a morning person.} This is happening for me tomorrow! I have already made plans for an "organize my closet" day. My jewelry is in need of some good TLC! Plus, how cute is that earring organizer?!?
Okay...so these may be pins now, but they are turning into reality in my life! I have already started several projects. I will be sure to post updates and let you all know how much easier my life becomes with a little more organization! {No...That was not meant to be a joke!} :)

I love drawer towers. I have 1 with 12 drawers - each draw has a different math strand to store my games for the kids to use during math groups.
ReplyDeleteI plan out cleaning out my closet today. I need to get rid of some old stuff in order to fit in the new stuff I got for Christmas. I will tackle school after the new year (hopefully...lol).

I love binders! I have one for our family binder and school binders for each kid. It keeps me organized and help me find stuff easily.
ReplyDeleteOrganizing is one of those perpetual things in life like doing laundry, brushing your teeth, filling your car with gas, washing/putting dishes away, etc. I found out what I need to include is purging. YES! Putting things in my "round file" helps with organization along with all the wonderful ideas I have read throughout many blogs. Thanks a bunch.

I label absolutely everything!! I used to use a Dymo label maker, but since I've gotten hooked on TPT and cutesy fonts, I create my own labels, print them on cardstock, laminate (sometimes), and hot glue them to the fronts of all the plastic bins I have in my classroom. I also use Lyndsey's (over at www.ayearofmanyfirsts.blogspot.com) freebie book bin labels to organize my classroom library.
ReplyDeleteI have my files by weeks, but now maybe I should go by days too! I organize my chapter books by month with magazine holders.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, Love, love my Erin Condren life planner! I never used to write anything down either....but the life planner really worked for me last year!! I also need to organize my jewelry. I loved the jewelry organizer!!!! Super cute!!! One of my resolutions is to organize my bills with a cute bill organizer I pinned, figure out that "perfect" way to do my lesson plans, and organize my computer files (all those things from TPT) better!!

I love to organize, So just when I have things the way I like them I decide I want to change my system and then I get to reorganize them all over again. I used to have everything organized in plastic tubs by concept. Then I moved to binders. Now, in order to save space, I'm trying to get as much as I can into my filing cabinets. We'll see how long that lasts. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI also have monthly binders inside monthly boxes - so easy - I just pull out the box and everything comes out and at the end everything goes back in!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea for turning in papers from Simply 2nd Resources. I think I am going to try that this semester. Thank You

I have Monday through Friday tote trays, and put everything I need for each day in the tote. Because I often do the same things on certain days of the week, many materials can always stay in a certain tote. I like the paper correcting idea posted above too. Might have to try that! Thanks!! Missplott@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love binders, bins, and cubbies. Organized and out of sight. I inventoried all of my classroom library books. I can find any book in seconds. The scanner and barcode make it easy to track. I haven't been as good this year about making students check out books since only my homeroom and my other reading class use them.
ReplyDeleteLearning in Bliss
I color code everything by subject either by containers or labels. It helps my kidos know what they are working on as well as where in the room it goes.

We copy A LOT on construction paper at my school. We also have to cut the giant construction paper into a smaller size that will fit in the copier. I cut lots of different colors of construction paper at the same time and store them (organized by color of course) in magazine holders on top of my cubbies. That way, I can always grab and go and not spend time cutting construction paper on my conference time.
ReplyDeleteOops...I forgot my email address....CaseyCanion@aol.com
DeleteI keep all of my papers in a turn in box for the kids to give anything to me that they need to... That way it doesn't get lost! I just take the box home with me and then all the papers always stay together! It has been working so far! Whenever students have work that needs to be finished or made up it gets clipped on the board with a magnet clip. Each day before recess I see who still has work that needs to be finished.
ReplyDeleteI've recently been working on getting all of my seasonal decor and activities together... I will be checking the other blogs to see if there is any insight on them! So much stuff... so little room to keep it all!
ReplyDeleteI have a bucket with file folders for each upcoming week for about 3 weeks out. I try and put what needs to be copied in each folder. I think I should add each day in each one as well like in your post. That looks like a great idea!
ReplyDeletemondragondrea@gmail.com
I'm a basket junkie in my classroom! Seriously, I love a bunch of baskets that coordinate to organize classroom materials in a way that doesn't look "thrown together," even when it is!

This last summer I put all my masters into binders. As I find new materials, I just punch them and add it to the binder it belongs. I also use baskets in my classroom. I use bins at home which helps a lot with so many things.
ReplyDeleteI love my erin condren life planner. I discovered in last December and just ordered my new one for this year. YOU WILL LOVE IT!! I also use the M-F tabs for my lessons and it has helped me tremendously! I, too, have changed grade levels and needed the last idea to help me stay on top of grading and missing work. I'm going to study that post and implement it in January! One thing I have done the last 5 years is create a weekly tabbed binder. Each week has a set of lesson plans and all the masters I use. Although, I do change things up each year, the basics are there, and it helps to have it all together. I love your blog! Happy organizing!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard much about the Erin Condren calendars! I think I might just have to get one! I also love the idea of using clips to keep track of turned in work! Very helpful!

ReplyDeleteI have a super-cute (not Erin Condren) $3 planner that is a lifesaver! I also have my teacher planner... but my biggest tip is to USE THEM!

ReplyDeleteDana.clark15@yahoo.com
I assign each student a number. They write their number on all papers that they turn in. I bought a literature organizer (kind of like a classroom keeper mailbox) and labeled it with the student numbers. As I grade papers I place them in the appropriate slot. Papers are easy to grab and staple to send home on Monday's!
