Organization

In my past 6 years I have always struggled with keeping extra copies of work for those that need one.  In the past I have always kept a few extras in a hanging file folder by subject.  If a student needed another copy for some reason, they would look in the extra folders. 

I am continuing this practice, but have added another idea.  I make a digital copy of my daily work and then staple 1 copy of each assignment or activity we did that day.  This includes tests, field trip notes, etc.  I have a basket on my desk that I keep the packets in.  It is very neat and very easy to find past work.  If for some reason someone lost a whole day, or week, or whatever the reason is, it's all right there. 

It has saved me lots of time running back and forth on my lunch break trying to get a copy here and there.  I will definitely do this again next year.

Interesting Resource

 I came across an interesting resource.  I haven't fully explored the website, but I've seen a couple of the things.  It's called GoNoodle.  It is a brain break website for classrooms.  You have to register, but it is free.  I have watched a couple of the dance/aerobic type brain breaks.  My students have really liked using the few that I've used.
