Still organizing...

In a classroom there is always something to do, to clean or to organize, especially with younger kids.  In our classrooms we have old computers that work most of the time.  I have to say when I read other teacher blogs, I am amazed at the amount of ipads, laptops and other devices that are available to them.  I wonder how they get it all.  Anyway, that's not what this post is about.  I am slowly moving around the room and deciding what kind of organization is needed.  Last week, I finally got the problem of earphones figured out.  I got the idea off of Pinterest originally, but made it work with my limited resources.  I went to dollar store and bought everyone in the class a set of ear buds and a little container to keep them in.  I used my handy Dymo to label each one, and voila!  Tidy and stackable inside a bin.  It stays under the computer table and the kids can get them out by themselves.  Next up I think will be the Math manipulatives area.
