Question
How does Molly Lynch help teachers with classroom organization?
Answer
I provide a variety of tips and hacks to help teachers with classroom organization. Here are a few:
-
Laminating Small Pieces: I suggest using a dab of glue on the back of small pieces before laminating them. This prevents them from shifting around during the process.
-
Creating Small Labels for Organizing: I recommend printing out smaller versions of game magnets for easy management of classroom games.
-
Labeling by Number: Instead of using names, I suggest labeling things by number. This allows for reuse year after year and makes tasks like collecting forms or lining up for drills quicker.
-
Making Bookmarks in Student Books: To help students find their pages easily, I suggest taping a string in the back of their books.
-
Using Plastic Boxes for Organization: I recommend using plastic boxes to organize materials by month or unit.
-
Using Velcro: I find Velcro dots extremely useful for labeling book bins, supply boxes, and more.
-
Visual Directions: To save time and avoid repeating instructions, I suggest using visual directions.
-
Creating a To-Do List: I recommend starting a new to-do list every Friday afternoon to stay on top of tasks and meetings.
-
Appointing a Class President: This is a great way to streamline tasks and foster leadership among students.
These are just a few of the many tips I share to help teachers stay organized and efficient in their classrooms. What other aspects of classroom organization are you interested in?
