Sailing Into Summer Blog Hop!

 
I am so excited to be part of the Sailing into Summer Blog Hop! I hope you will "hop" through all the blogs and read the wonderful ideas that everyone has to share! My "fast four" are:

1) One classroom thing I want to do again next year: I did a much better job of using my "Ticket out the Door" poster this year, and I want to be sure to continue that practice next year (and improve it even more).

2) One classroom thing I want to change next year: I need to super-organize my materials into binders, as I found on Pinterest (Ms. DeCarbo at Sugar and Spice). I do have my materials in binders already, but I have larger binders that separate materials more by the type of activity than by topic. So I want to reorganize by topic....it could take me a while!

3) One gift idea for instructional assistants: I have been thinking about this one a lot lately, because my instructional assistant's last day is Thursday. I usually have trouble thinking of cute, unique ideas, so I searched Pinterest, and found this one from "Life is What You Make It." This is a great idea - quick and easy (and useful), which is perfect for me!

4) One classroom organization tip: This may seem basic, but I still have to remind myself to do it every day - put things back where they belong! In the course of my day, I use so many different materials and "accumulate" such a variety of new papers that things can get disorganized very quickly. Immediately putting materials back where they belong and putting new materials in their appropriate place (even if it's the trash can!) helps keep that potential chaos of papers at bay.


Have a fantastic end of the year, and before you sail into summer, check out the rest of the blogs in the blog hop!
