Preparing for New Students Throughout the Year

This year, I have an unusually small class which is so nice! However, when you have the smallest class, you will be receiving the new students throughout the year. To help me prepare for the new students to come, I packed up my 'Little Red Reading Bags' (aka seatsacks) with all the goodies my new little munchkins would need to get started at their new school. Some of the items included are:

  • responsibility folder
  • journals
  • lunch stick
  • pencil sharpener
  • behavior chart clip
  • welcome pencil
  • birthday card, sticker, etc.
  • headphones
  • workbooks
  • 'thick' questions ring
  • bookmark . . .and the list goes on. 
As I go through the year, I add other items that will be needed. Of course, everything won't fit in the bag, so I put a list with other items that need to be made/included. I like to have this list because there are several items I need to make on my computer.
I hope you are having a great school year. I can't believe it is November already! Have a great week!

Classroom Organization Made Easy!




A few years ago, I begged my principal to let me get rid of my desks and use tables in my classroom. She finally said yes! That being said, I needed some way for the kids to store their items. Enter the Seat Sack! This seat sack has help get my kids organized. . .a place for everything and everything in its place! Instead of just getting the Seat Sacks, I decided on the organizer set. I've got lots of ideas for all my new organization items. I LOVE using my book bags for my buddy reading during stations. I was using another kind of bags for read to someone in the past, but the kids kept putting things away in the wrong place. These bags have a card in a pocket so the kids can match the bag with the page inside.

And, there's more! I have pencil cases and Hand-e-Sacks to help me with more organization in my room. Here's what I'm thinking. My kids have their own writing journals. They use different colors of pens and highlighters for different stages of the editing and revising process. These pouches will be perfect to keep these items together. The Hand-e-Sacks are going to be great in so many ways. I will be organizing word work activities, my reading group materials, my pens, markers, almost anything. No more baskets or cups falling on the floor!
How do you organize your classroom? If you have some pics, leave a link so we can check it out!
