Get your School Supplies Organized Now

Are your school supplies ready for the first day of class?  Believe it or not, those first few days of school are right around the corner.  Are you prepared?  You may have the school supplies you need, but do you know how you are planning to organize and store your supplies?  Carefully thinking about these few things will ensure that your school year will get off to a great start.  Here are several tips that will help you think about ways to organize and store your essential school supplies.

• Identify your current organizing system – Do you utilize shelves or drawers?  Do you file papers, or do you tend to put them into piles?  Would you like to store classroom supplies by units or by seasons?  Write down several personal goals on ways you would like to see yourself organizing your classroom materials.
• Think about any new school supplies that have – Are there specific items that could help with storage?  There are many storage solutions for school supplies.  For example, there are great storage bags designed for posters, bulletin board sets, etc.
• Sort the materials that you do not have a current storage system for – First, decide if you want to sort by size, subject area, or unit.  You can either add these items to your other shelves or drawers, or you may choose to purchase a new system for your school supplies.

Setting up an organizational system can be a daunting task  for some, but for others it may be very easy.  You may not be able to set it up all at once, but if you make a plan, you will be able to create an organizational system that will work for you.
