Organization: Every Teacher’s Challenge Presented by Karen McDavid Midland Academy kmcdavid/ madesimple.blogspot.com/

Creating Unique Spaces

To create an extra bulletin board, display area, or magnetic learning station, turn two file cabinets end to end and cover in decorative paper.

Use the back of a filing cabinet to hang a pocket chart or the front of a desk to secure magnet pieces.

Place bookcases at an angle to hide storage. Adding wheels allows easy access.

Use curtains to hide storage.

Use wire cubes (Target or Wal-Mart) to create storage. Use curtains to hide storage so it’s neat and uncluttered.

Use shoe boxes and over the door shoe organizers to organize supplies.

Organizing Your Classroom Library

Expedite storage cubes can purchased at IKEA in Atlanta; book baskets can be purchased from Really Good Stuff or Steps to Literacy.
