| How can you organize yourself before the next school year begins? |
This summer season is a great time for planning and preparing for the next school year. This is a great time to organize your records and information so that you have smoother sailing during the school year.
Here are two great suggestions that you might want to try:
Student Organization Binder:
A looseleaf binder that contains a calendar, seating plan, student pix and names, basic student information, conference info, behavior plans, anecdotal reports, etc. is a great way to collate important information and keep it centralized. Check out a great example on the blog Beyond the Grades:

Student Lending Library:
Establish a lending library for students. Many teachers have a bookshelf full of books for students to read, but how are they organized? You can develop a list of books using the genre or reading level to differentiate them for students.
Beth Newingham's Third Grade is a great website that details ways that you can organize your own library. It also gives you a link to Scholastic's readability scale(or you can use the readability scale available on your computer's Word application.) Please check out the website's Studio 13 link:

Why not take a little time this summer thinking about how you are going to organize your student information and your lending library?
