| Each grade level has a bin. |
 |
| This is where we keep our "work in progress". When we are finished, these folders help me keep the papers organized until I can return them. The instructions are right on the folder, so I can get them back in a timely manner. |
 |
| Inside each bin is an inclined file organizer. I got mine at King Dollar here in Houston! The best Dollar store EVER! |
 |
| Now all the work is neat, organized and easy to retrieve..... but WAIT! I can't see the class name! OOPS! After using these all this fall, I have found that I NEED to be able to see the teachers name! |
 |
| See what I mean? I can't see the teachers names! Next year - Maybe even tomorrow, I'm going to label the envelopes right along the top edge! These 9x12 envelopes hold about 2 assignments which helps me remember to return papers, but you may want a large size |
Always a work in progress! - hope you find this helpful!
In 4th and 5th grade my students have folders. I use these folders for keeping track of recorder money and t-shirt money and permission slips and contracts and stuff and sometimes papers if we ran out of time to get out folders. It's a great place to keep things until they can be placed in student folders.
I'm an elementary music teacher, and I am trying to find a way to organize folders similarly to this! I have hanging files for each grade level with a folder for each class, and that works pretty well. The only thing is that students can't really get to it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am about to have my 4th/5th graders have music folders. How do you organize those? I would LOVE some help thinking of a solution!
Folders are both wonderful tools and challenges to manage. Some years I do better than others. I'll think on it and see if I can consolidate what my procedures are into a future post real soon. Thanks for the idea and the input.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the cubes?
ReplyDeleteThey have been selling them at Target for years. This set is about 8 years old, but I've recently purchased others. I wait things out until they go on sell, and sometimes they come in a double pack. They run for less than $7.00 a piece, and my favorite part is in the summer they fold up and don't take up a ton of space.
