The Thematic/Monthly Box
After a couple years of teaching, I really needed a way to organize all the resources fellow teachers had provided to help me get started. It seemed to take hours just to plan for a single day's lessons because I would scour through books and files looking for special activities. So, I purchased several plastic tubs with lids. As I planned and taught a particular theme, I gathered handouts, books, activities, manipulatives, etc. and threw it all in the labeled tubs. I have one for each month of the school year. Other labels include - frogs and amphibians, reptiles, weather, oceans, All About Me, space, Native Americans, plants, and penguins. This has simplified by planning, organized my closet, and proven a tremendous timesaver!
