Back for Day 2 of Organizing October...
Today I thought I'd do a little Throwback to some of my previous posts that include some ideas and freebies for you to organize yourself.
First one up are these Binder Covers.
Do you ever have something that when you see it it just makes you smile? That's how I feel about binders that keep my organized. I LOVE having important papers all in one place, and even more than that, I love when those things are also pretty. It's not the most important thing, but it does make me smile :) (Click the picture above to go the post and grab these for yourself)
Here is a post all about one of these binders I am referring to - the most important one really - Student Data. I am constantly in and out of this binder and just love having all my student information in one place. (Click the picture below to go that post and read about my Student Data binder)
This next one I found on Pinterest from Math, Science, Social Studies, Oh my!, because of course all good ideas end up on Pinterest at some point.
When my classroom supply letter went out this past summer I asked for students to bring in two 24-48 packs of crayons (We switch crayons in January. It's a VERY exciting day! You would think I told the kids they were going to Disney World with how excited they get about new crayons). I also asked them to send in a pack of 8 or 16 crayons to be shared with the class. I use these boxes to replenish my crayon drawers when they get low. So far this has really helped eliminate many of our crayon issues in the classroom so I would highly recommend this little trick. Click on the picture above to go to the post and grab the crayon drawer labels.
So, if you are looking to find more ideas, check out my Classroom Organization and Decor Pinterest board. I am always looking for and pinning more organizational ideas for my classroom, too. And if you have a Classroom Organization Pinterest board, leave the link in the comments - I'd love to check it out!

I wanted to use something like this in my classroom as a lost and found for crayons. Kids lose crayons ALL THE TIME and never seem to have the right colors when they need them. I used small plastic drawers for mine because I didn't have a lot of space.

Thank you for sharing your great organizing ideas here Melissa! I keep an extra box of crayons stored away for mid-year too. The kids actually forget that I have them and are super excited. It's the little things... I am always looking for new ideas on Pinterest too. I will check out your board! :)

I feel the same way about binders. It literally makes me happy to see my organized binders. My students have picked up on it too. One of them said, "Have you ever seen so many binders in your life?" ha, ha! Your crayon organization is adorable. So smart about saving some for later in the year too! Miss you friend!
