Organization...(a freebie) (updated!)

This week I decided I wanted to organize my seasonal activities.  I've been thinking about this ever since I saw Amy's (from the The Resource(ful) Roompost on center organization.  It amazed me, it astounded me, I was SO jealous! I had to be JUST LIKE HER, or try to be anyways.  I struggle at organizing.  I mean look at these pics, all from Amy of course.



What did I do first?  Bought drawers.  Second, I made cute labels (that's the freebie, Ill get to it).  I decided to start with seasonal activities first.  I bought 3 sets of 3 plastic drawers, I will have a drawer for each month of the school year and combine May and June into one!  I plan to store seasonal centers in the as well as any completed craft projects.  I think I will also use them for seasonal stickers and pencils as well or whatever else.  This project is at the very beginning so I am too embarrassed to show pics, YET.  I will however share the monthly labels I created!  They are for the months Sept-June, if you need more, let me know!  UPDATE - I added July and August :)

I've uploaded the file to Google docs, please leave me a comment if you grab them!  To download them. just click here! 




The clipart came from KPM DoodlesScrappin Doodles, Dreamlike Magic, and Graphics from the Pond.

These are very cute!!! I always have great plans for organization but they went out the window with 29 kinders squeezed into a small classroom.

I have started to buy those clear plastic storage containers with the lids in hopes of getting everything organized for NEXT YEAR! hA

I am so impressed by (and jealous of!) Amy's center organization!! I am really trying to get my room organized better this year.

I grabbed your adorable monthly labels - thanks so much! If you have a chance to make July and August, too, I'd snatch those up, since I teach through the summer.

I've been thinking about organizing with drawers for all the stuff that doesn't fit neatly into my file cabinet. Your super cute labels have inspired me to get busy! Thanks for sharing!
