Forms at Your Fingertips!
I have been an organizing fool recently! Must be that im 9 months pregnant and am in full nesting mode. Not only am I organizing my house, but getting ready for the next school year as well. Somehow I sleep easier knowing that I'll have less to do at the beginning of the year. One project I have taken on is making some handy forms for my classroom.
It started off with forms for orientation/open house and then went from there! This pack includes over 40 forms, and I'll probably add more as I go. This file is editable in PPT so you can edit as needed.

Classroom Pictures! Neon and Awesome 80s
Welcome to my classroom! I had fun doing a neon & 80s theme this year! I love how bright & colorful it turned out.
When I first came into this room is was very sterile. Lots of GRAY! Here are some before pictures.
BEFORE:
 |
| A plus to this room is that the gray boards (not white boards) are magnetic. |
 |
| This is Bessie, the air conditioner. |
 |
| I was blessed to have a smartboard in this room! But again, GRAY BOARDS. They're supposed to work with both dry erase markers and chalk, but both erase horribly. I typically just use anchor charts with magnets up on them. |
 |
| Plus: Lots of cabinets! Minus: They're GRAY! |
Here are some pictures of how I spruced up this room!
I used different colored borders around my back boards to make it more colorful. Above each board are headers for the subjects. Below them is my picture book library.
Some of my organizational tubs from Really Good Stuff. Made some quick labels for them and glued them on.
One of my bulletin boards...
I bought the fans at Party City for $1.99 each and then hot glued my team signs to the middle of each fan.

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.
