I'm back with some organizational tips for your teaching resources! A couple of weeks ago I tackled organizing curriculum into tubs. You can read all about that HERE. BUT, I know that some of you just love notebooks. So, I wanted to give that option a go as well. Here's what I came up with... Step One: The Tabs I created notebook tabs that would be useful when organizing reading curriculum. There are many options to choose from, but here are the ones that I chose to print. They may even hold up a little better if you printed on card-stock or laminated after printing. Step Two: Creating … [Read more...]
Let’s Take a Break Part 3
I think by now you can sense a trend. I'm avoiding all things school-related by working on some things around our house. I rarely spend this much time organizing, but for some reason I got on this kick and haven't stopped yet! So far I've organized my pantry, closet, and bathroom. This past weekend I decided to tackle my laundry room. I actually did more of a "refresh" than I did of an organizational haul. I have never really put time or energy into our laundry room. I loathe everything about the laundry process. My laundry room isn't huge, but it's large enough to serve its purpose. AND, I only … [Read more...]
Let’s Take a Break Part 2
This summer I have vowed to host some organizational series on this little blog of mine. Well, I was only going to do teaching organization, but I quickly changed my mind. After all, being organized at home helps you be more organized and efficient in the classroom as well. You can check out my Bathroom Organizational Post HERE! Now, one thing you should know is... I am not Marie Kondo and I have not watched any of those shows. I do what works best for me. It isn't perfect. It doesn't all match, and things are not folded to perfection. I would rather put systems into place that I'll actually keep up with. I … [Read more...]

Are you ready to start organizing your curriculum? If you haven't seen my first post, look HERE before reading this one. Okay, now I have a very detailed blog post for you! To get started I gathered all of my 2nd Grade Rooted in Reading materials for August. I separated everything by book and made my four stacks. Please note that it would work the same for any of our Rooted in Reading units... but I started with 2nd grade August since we just made MAJOR updates to that month! For the bins, click HERE Next I got some organization tools ready to go. I used file folders, envelopes, paperclips, and sharpies. You … [Read more...]
Let’s Take a Break!
It is officially summer break here in our household. Before I continue my series on organizing my teaching resources, I wanted to take just a little break. I have been working on organizing parts of my house, so let's put a pause on teaching matters and take a tour of my bathroom! I am not a photographer or home blogger, but I'll do the best I can here! The first thing I needed to tackle was my vanity drawer. It's actually a great size, but it's always been such a disaster. I purchased organizing trays from Amazon and got to work. Now I can actually see everything I have AND find what I need. It's a summer … [Read more...]
How to Organize Teaching Resources: Part One
This summer I am hosting an organizational series here on the blog. Today I am sharing how I am beginning my journey of becoming the most organized version of myself ;). Right now I am focusing on organizing my Rooted in Reading units, but this post might give you some ideas even if you don't use that specific curriculum. Click HERE for part two. What Should I Use to Organize? The first thing I did was decide how I wanted to store the curriculum. Did I want to use notebooks, baggies, tubs, etc.? I currently just throw everything into a large plastic tote and cross my fingers that it doesn't get lost or ruined. … [Read more...]
