Organizing Your Classroom

CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION

The new school year is very much on my mind. I want to organize the furniture and the materials in my classroom in a more efficient way. I want to place materials where students can easily access them. I also want to make the traffic flow move smoothly.

Classroom Materials

I will be making notebooks with grammar and sight word activities for my second and fourth graders.

Where will I put student materials so that it is easy and quick for them to pick up without a traffic jam? Ah, a bookshelf against the wall in a tub for pick up and return. 

What about student supplies? Baskets will work! They are foldable, have a handle, and are made of cloth. This will work!

Student Desks and Tables

I want to create a walking path between rows of desks and with one-way paths for smooth traffic flow. The tables will be along the wall separated from the student's desks to create a separate section of the classroom. I want the calendar rug area also in a separate part of the room. Each of these areas will also have a one-way path to prevent accidents and traffic jams.

What will you be doing new or differently this year? Set up your rooms in a way that will make you happy and not frustrated.

Have a good start to the year!
