Days of the Week Labels

Do you want to organize all of your papers/materials you will use during the course of the week/next week in your classroom?!?!  Here is your answer!  I ordered these 3-drawer organizers from Amazon, and they work like a charm.  This link is for the 3 pack, so am using 2 for the daily drawers, and then I have a the 3rd one holding writing workshop paper in our writing center! You can get these FREE daily labels at my TpT Shop!

Have a great night!  I am off to bed!!!!!  :)

If you think you are done, you have only just begun.

Writing Workshop!  I love teaching Writing Workshop!  It is one of the times during the day where kids truly learn more about me as their teacher.  I love telling them more about me and my life through my Writing Aloud.  :)  During one of our first Writing Workshop lessons, I like to teach kids the familiar Lucy Calkins quote, "When you think you are done, you have just begun."  This teaches the students that even when they think they are done with a piece, they can add to the pictures, add to the words, or start a new piece!  :)  I love how Writing Workshop empowers students as true writers!!!  Do you use Writing Workshop in your classroom?!

Monday Made It!

I am happy to link up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for this week's MONDAY MADE IT!  :)  I am seriously 3 years late to jump on the bandwagon of this Teacher Toolbox idea..how have I not noticed this for 3 years, and how have I lived without it?  I love organization, and I love knowing where everything is...this toolbox will help me with both of these!

So, I purchased this toolbox from Home Depot online because it is already black.

Many people online have purchased the one from Lowes, but it is blue and I did not want to take the time to spray paint it!  But, then when I received the black one from Depot, I realized that the larger drawers have this little notch on the top inside, so I could not place the labels on the inside.  So, if you decide to purchase this one, please beware!

But honestly, this worked out so well!!!  This version made me think that I would just make everything colorful using scrapbook paper.  I LOVE how it turned out!  This is basically my color scheme from my classroom, so it works perfectly!

Have you made a teacher toolbox that you are in love with?!
