As I am cleaning out our classroom for the summer, I realize how much this year's students missed out on because of their (and mine) disorganization. Our classroom is full of so many fun games, papers, tools and materials to learn with, but so much of it got used once before it became a mess with missing pieces. My students deserve opportunities to touch and feel and apply and use all that I have available to them, but the mess overwhelms us so we need a good organization system, where things have a place and everyone knows where that is. My students are from lower income homes and I enjoy spoiling them a little with so many toys, tools and experiences when I can. As an experienced bargain hunter and parent with growing children, I have so much available to use but I realize right now that much of it got overlooked due to the time it takes to teach all aspects of it, including the clean up and put away.
One of our school rules, and a big chunk of what I am teaching them in kindergarten is RESPONSIBILITY.
With these organizational items (paper trays, book bins, headphones and baggies to put them in, etc.) students will have more access to the items and will be capable of putting them back where they go when they are done. We will spend more time using them, learning with them, and less time fixing them, untangling them, finding them and finding the pieces.
