Center Organization Linky...How Do You Keep it All Together?

Janaya at the Lesson Plan Diva is having a Linky Party for ways to organize learning games and other materials. AND Lorraine at Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies is having a Linky Party for other organizational tips! You should see the idea for THOSE desks...you know the ones I am talking about! I swear I once found an entire outfit that a girl had stuck in her desk! Ugh! 


I thought I would show you a couple of ways that I organize. One of my favorite ways is to use these hanging bags from Really Good Stuff. I use them for writing materials, books and CDs, and station activities. The cool thing is that you can take the bags and put them where you need them. I hang them on the bottom of the tables so that they are ready for the kids and don't take up tons of table space.


Of course, I still use baskets, baby wipe boxes, and any other container I can get my hands on...

Oh...and one of my new ways to organize is 3 ring binders...That has really gotten me organized...and I'm not the best at organizing!


Be sure to share your organization tips at

    I LOVE the hanging bags too! Would you believe that last year (before I began using centers on a daily basis) I got rid of an entire set of these?!? I wanna kick myself right now for that....these babies are expensive! I'll be linking up tomorrow after I take pictures!

    I love the idea of using those hanging bags from Really Good Stuff. The hard part for me would be finding a place to put them so they wouldn't be in the way!

    I use the bags that come with my curtains. They are very handy and they come with a small handy hanger. :)

    I use bags to keep my listening center books and audio together. I use a hanging clothes rack. I put it on its lowest height and hang the bags over hangers. It fits perfectly around the desk for my listening center.
