Back to school!

I love my job!  Sometimes it drives my family crazy that I "work" on school stuff over a break. I tell them it's not "working" because I enjoy constantly finding new ideas and fun things for the kids.

We were struggling with center papers this year, so I came up with an organizational plan!  I went to school and got it all set up before time to start back to school. I found these cool magnetic folders at Lakeshore to put on my white board. I put the number of each center above it. We do 8 centers a week.

Of course, I have to stick with my "dog" them and use dog print numbers!

 Then, a generous parent gave me a Lakeshore gift card to purchase this cool organizer. It has 8 trays!  I labeled each of them with a corresponding number and color!  Now the kids know exactly where their center work goes and we don't have to spend hours sorting it all! I LOVE it!  

Once again, coordinating "puppy print" numbers!  

I get so excited about these kinds of things!  I think the kids will love it, too!
