Da Plan...

So week two of the clutter free classroom decluttering project... This week's assignment was to list the rules/plan for decluttering...

1. I WILL get rid of multiple copies of paper items.

2. Sort through the MASSIVE amounts of professional books I have accumulated in the 8 years I've been teaching...give away the majority...I know that my Most used resource is the Internet. I'm also going to quit buying these books...it's like a sickness!

3. Start small, so I don't get overwhelmed and QUIT;)

4. Put things up when I get them out

5. De-binder some of my books and use the bookbinder to save space...

6. JUST DO IT!!!!

I am also plannning to follow the rules on the cute freebie Jodi posted earli in the week to help me be a successful organizer... I want to be a recovered shover/piler.

I haven't purchased anything to help with removing the clutter, but I stashed a few copy paper boxes and a couple of empty milk crates in my room...I'm really thinking a box of HEFTY trash bags are going to do the most magic in my room;) winks!!!


Happy Weekend!

Wowzers!!!! I Have My Work Cut Out For Me

So I am "trying" to participate in the Clutter Free Classroom's Organization PROJECT...and I'm already BEHIND!!! EEEEKKKK!!!!

The first part of the challenge was to take pics{Oh Em Gee} of your CLUTTER and MASS CHAOS in your classroom...Welp! I was in no shortage of finding that... I won't apologize for my mess, but I will for the cellphone pics;)

Front Corner : Library Area...OOOPPPS the hanging reindeer my son made when he was in Kindergarten that I hang up each year is STILL up...I did take this down TODAY!

I have 27 students this year, so it feels like desks and chairs are everyWHERE!

The whiteboard I use to teach on...turn in trays and graded paper return system...also board games, extra crayons, glue, scissors, etc.....and more desks and chairs!!!

The back corner...I brought this dresser in to store more JUNK....not really sure I am digging it on this back wall...it does do a nice job of being a catchall though;)

GULP! My extremely messy desk, and shelf area...I AM SUCH A PILER!!!!

And apparently I am a SHOVER too...look inside these drawers...I shove stuff in that I don't want to see anymore...please tell me I am NOT the only person who does this!!!

So I definitely have my work cut out for me....not sure when this ORGANIZATION is going to take place....but I certainly need it to happen...maybe the desk fairy will swing by and take care of it for me??? winks!!!
