| I store each day's Math Daily Spiral Review/Enrichment in the metal trays labeled with the days of the week. I also keep any tests or other items I need for the week in that day's tray. I write each subject's topic and any page numbers necessary by the schedule, this is for me as much as it is for the students! This also makes it easy for them to write our agenda down in their planners each morning before specials. How do you organize your daily paperwork? Do you write your schedule down or just go subject by subject? |

Each student has a drawer in which to keep small items such as crayons, scissors, etc. I make copies of all of the E.O.'s, Math Daily Spiral Review and Enrichment, etc. ahead of time and store them in the unused drawers. I have trays on the top of each set of drawers to organize items to be copied, items to be turned into the Science teacher, and any notes from home or lunch money. How do your students store their loose items? |
 2010-2011 Classroom Pictures |
Our classroom view from the back of the room. You can see our schedule, whiteboard, word wall, student desks, and my group table. |
 |
| This is our Morning Meeting area and our Cafe board prior to introducing the skills. |
 |
| You can see our strings hanging from the ceiling, they are actually brightly colored rick-rack with colored clips attached. I love to hang the kids' art around the room. |
 |
| Our book boxes prior to the first day of school and our labeled coat/backpack rack. You can also see that our first science unit is "animals!" |
 |
Our Word Wall before school started. Because I love books, have so many, and am always aquiring more, our library is a constant "work in progress!" |
 |
| My desk...also an organizational work in progress! |
 |
| This is our Morning Meeting/Calendar area. The star chart holds pictures and information about our Super Kid (star of the week). Because I took these before school started, there are only a few pictures of me from first grade! |
 |
When I taught second grade, I saw one of the other teachers use this idea and loved it. I adapted it for my room and have really seen the kids use and benefit from it. Having this visual really helps them learn the concept of counting minutes by fives when telling time. |
 |
| Here you can see tubs for centers, including Word Work tubs, our Reading Center and area, and our lunch count chart where the students sign up for hot, cold, or alternate lunch. I use this chart for attendance as well. |
 |
| This is how I organize my papers/assignments. I used to use open trays, but I think these look neater! |
