Successful organization depends on your ability to find information and materials when your students need them. You will not be the only individual putting things away, so it is important to designate a place for things that are used frequently. Label storage areas so that students and visitors can see where things belong.

Teachers are on a limited budget and the following creative ideas will help bring color and personality into your room without breaking the bank.

Seasonal and Curricular Materials

Take the time to sort and organize materials into boxes. Label the boxes clearly. Group the boxes by season or curricular area for storage. Ask your local school supply store or discount center to save the boxes that paper portfolios come in. Cover the boxes with contact paper and use them.
