There are four components when it comes to creating an organized classroom. I want you to think of these components as a wedding or tiered cake- you have the plate that it sits on, then the layers going up. I specifically structure the components, and the framework course, this way because I believe you need the things on the base to support the things on the top.

I brought Bridget on to talk about daily teacher routines. Like I just said, she teaches grades 4 through 6. She has a YouTube channel, a podcast, a membership site, shes in Graduate School earning her Masters Degree, she has a husband and children. I am sure I am forgetting something. She does SO much (and you can find it all right here). What better person to talk about routines and keeping life organized than someone who is doing a lot.

Small group teaching is a great way to meet your kids at the level they are on and give them the instruction they need. But first you need to get your resources and materials in place. Typically, a small group lesson is only 15 to 20 minutes. That isn't a lot of time and you need to make the most of it.

This episode shares some things to keep in mind as you organize a small group teaching area in your classroom.

Another year has flown by and it is time to start thinking about packing up your classroom. As important as it is to ensure that your classroom is organized all year long, I think it is equally important to ensure that your classroom is organized as you pack it up. That's why I've put together a slew of posts on packing up as well as this end of year classroom pack up checklist.

When you come back at the start of next year, you want to be able to find everything easily. I suggest packing like things together so that way when you are ready to unpack it, you are doing one "section" at a time. But...I am getting ahead of myself.
