I try to be as organized as I can in the classroom. I am no expert, but I have found a few things that work well for me. Today, I thought I would share one way to organize your weekly prep for the class.

Weekly Prep

I try to have most everything I need for the week prepped but Thursday or Friday the prior week. That’s just the way I roll. The “fly by the seat of my pants” teaching stresses me out too much. Some teachers are good at it, but I am not a fan. I have tried may ways to store my prep for the week, but what has worked for me the best over the last few years are daily tubs. The tubs I use, I bought at Lakeshore Learning a few years ago and I love them. There is one for each day of the week and an additional ‘next week’ tub.

Each day has folders for math and reading that I put those supplies in. Each of my days has a different schedule, so I have an emergency sub folder for each day of the week. You can read more about my sub folders here.
