I have to admit that I have an organized classroom.
AND I hope I have a few tips to help you set your room up for success.
This summer linky party is the perfect what to get inspired to get organized this upcoming school year.
First, I have all my units stored into weekly tubs. These files are full of hands on activities, art projects, and manipulatives… so they don’t “fit” in a filing cabinet. These tubs are small enough for me to lift and move around and I love that everything for that week is in its own bin.
And I do have a LOT bins… at least 36! I am guessing it is closer to 40 since Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Easter have more than one bin.
You can absolutely start judging me now!
I plan out my lessons by the week. Here is a picture of my weekly bins and filing cabinet.

The last bin is dedicated to storing my extra copies or activities for the week.
You never know what to expect in K so I always like to be overly prepared…
and I never have trouble finding a sub since they all know I will plans ready to go.
Love all these ideas! Thanks for sharing!

Wow!! I wish I could be that organized!! I love your system and I just might be able to implement it. Thank you!
What size are your unit tubs!
I just went to Michael's and bought 2 fabulous organizers. One was originally$99 . It was on sale for $29 and then I got 20% off of that. It has 9 bins on the bottom and a shelf on the top. Then I bought a 10 drawer organizer too. Both of them together were $55. Now I just have to clean and organize so they'll fit. This will be my first year using Daily 5. My 30th year in kindergarten.
