Organizing My Science Materials
So I have just finished organizing all my science materials FOR THE YEAR! This past year was my first year in fourth grade and it took me almost all year to decide how I wanted to do my science block.
About 7 years ago, our county purchased an AWESOME science program. The following year the state changed the standards and our science program became basically useless. :( I think there are 3 chapters in the whole textbook that I can use... This year I've supplemented with The Science Penguin's resources and I've loved it!
First, I printed everything and as well as some covers for my binders.
I went ahead and laminated what I needed to and cut them ahead of time. I sorted out the materials by unit rather than by product.
Next, I created some dividers for my binders. I used these Post-It labels & they were perfect.
Then, I sorted all my materials into their sections. :)
I bought these 5.5 quart tubs from Home Depot and labeled them with my unit titles.
There were some items, like task cards & science stations that I didn't want to hole punch, so I put them in their own sleeve or envelope and placed them in the base if the bins.

Geometry Reference Math Mini-Office
I've out together this mini-office for my 4th graders to use as a reference during math centers. They were dragging their math books around with them, but that became a bit cumbersome.
I designed the pages to fit a manilla file folder, but I had this pretty blue poster board that I couldn't resist!
This file was designed to coordinate with the fourth grade common core standards, but it could be used for higher third graders or remedial fifth graders.
