Filing


Came up with this way to organize my worksheet originals for next year. Each month will have it's own tub but I put all of them in one for now. Each month has a colored "R" for Reading, "W" for Writing, and a "M" for Math. I am adding theme or skill folders to each month for each subject. For example, "M" Apples will go in September Math, "R" Apples will go in September Reading, "W" Apples will go in September Writing.
Red = Reading
Yellow = Writing
Blue = Math

Classroom Divider


I made a classroom divider today. I wanted to create a mobile word wall for my small group time but also thought a divider would be helpful to keep kids focused. So my plan is to either hang a small whiteboard on the pegboard side in order to write the words on for the word wall or use a pocket chart on the empty side for a word wall.

Here are the materials I used to create this divider:
2 1" PVC pipes - 4' in length for horizontal bars
2 1" PVC pipes - 56" in height for vertical bars
6 1" PVC elbows - 4 for feet, 2 for top bar
4 1" PVC T's - 2 for bottom bar, 2 for feet
Pegboard cut to desire
1 bag of zip ties - used to attach pegboard to divider

Now I just hope this divider will come in handy during the year!
