Organizational Linky Party!

I am happy to say that I am linking up with Fun in 4B and Ladybug's Teacher Files. This is such a great idea! I am very excited to see what others are sharing.

 I am going to share about my Teacher Binder and my Monthly Tubs.  I made my Teacher Binder at the beginning of this school year. It is very eclectic as I found different things that I wanted to include and just threw it all together. Now that I've used it for the year, I have revamped it and made everything look a little more cohesive (teacher OCD)! There are several important things that I keep in my Teacher Binder. The first thing that I keep in my Teacher Binder is a school year calendar.

 Each month is a two page spread so that I have enough space to write in important meetings and such.   The second thing in my Teacher Binder are my standards. I keep my standards and my plan for the year to keep myself on a schedule and to make sure we've hit all of our standards throughout the year.  The third thing I keep in the binder is Meeting Notes and Agendas.

I started out really strong with this this year and then we changed how we did agendas for meetings and so it has kind of fallen to the wayside. But it is my plan to be better about keeping that in order next year as I found a cute printable from Ladybugs Teacher Files! The fourth thing in my binder (can you tell this is a big binder?) is Student Information.

Each child has a page where their parental information and other important information is kept.  This is also where I keep a list of accommodations for students and health information.  After the Student Information section, I have a spot for Parent Communications (another thing I am going to be better about next year thanks to my redo on the binder!).  This spot is where I document communications with parents which will include information about behavior referrals next year.

The other thing(s) that has helped to keep me organized this year are my Monthly Tubs. I have a big tub that I keep all of my monthly/themed items in. It makes knowing where certain books, stickers, and other fun stuff handy! Here's all my tubs!

Here is a picture to show what kinds of things I keep in my buckets, this is my April/May bucket!

I hope that you'll find some of this helpful!
