Good, Bad and Ugly!!!!!!

I really wanted to write this post so I can share my "uglies" in my classroom!  I need some motivation to clean and organize but it's so hard!  So even though Holly closed the Linky Party (sorry, Im late!!!!) I'm still doing it.  Go visit Holly anyway at Crisscross Applesauce in First Grade   I am going to share the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of my classroom.  I'm nervous!  Don't judge me!!  Give me ideas to fix my terrible mess!  Okay, here goes...















The Good.
part 1 of classroom library
part 2 of classroom library (not the shelves next to eat, eek).

my monthly area for themed centers and such.

my personal hygiene area is looking pretty good!


The Bad.
a cup collection area, a cluttered countertop, and a whole bunch of boxes underneath the counter.
my cluttered countertop... all the way to the end you can see clutter. eek.

don't ever ask for magazines... I have plans to use them but man, look at the mess.

The Ugly.
(I'm so embarrassed!!!)
My storage closet,Amy, come help!!!!!  
My office area!
My desk in my office.  

Okay, are you guys judging me?????
It's so bad!!!!
The days are so full!
The afternoons have meetings!!!
The weeks are flying by!!!

To be honest - I was relieved to see your desk area! The first pictures look amazing! :) I wish my room looked as good. And I think the only reason my desk doesn't look THAT bad is because it's right in my classroom - if I could hide it in an office - DANGER! :)

I love your room. Where did you get the book bins?

No judgement here! Your office area looks like mine! No joke...My coworker I share an office area with makes fun of me for it on a regular basis.

Your room looks HUGE! Love it! I have been wanting to organize my classroom library for ages now...I need to do it similar to the way you have.

I didn't know what I was doing with the linky party - it was my first. It closed, but I didn't close it - no clue what I did. SORRY!

Your room looks HUGE seriously, massively HUGE. I love that you linked up. I wasn't meaning for people to think they needed to air their dirty laundry, or put themselves out there so much they felt all vulnerable or anything. I just wanted us to show the human side of ourselves...everything seems to perfect and sometimes unrealistic to me in blogland. Not that I don't love it - trust me I do...I just wanted people to know it's okay if you're not rockin' it out 100 percent of the time...

Your room looks wonderfully learned in to me...LOVE!!!!!

No judging here either, but I would love to help!!! My basement is looking pretty bad at the moment, after I've used stuff in my classroom it hasn't all gotten back where it belongs so just Know I'm right there with ya right now!!!

Your room looks awesome! I am totally jealous of your counter top, it doesn't look that cluttered to me! As for the closet and office - that's what summer break is for. right? Besides, who sees that part anyways? We're teachers not professional organizers (although we might make more money and work less hours if we were lol!)

Hey, link up anyway - I extended the collection {didn't know I could do that} if for no other reason, but to make me look less "loser-ish" since my linky party was pretty much a big ol floppy flop! :) THANK YOU for linking up...LOVE it!

Thanks for showing us the "ugly"! I feel good knowing I'm not the only one! My area starts off so clean and organized at the beginning of the year. Throw in some IEP meetings, progress reports, and new students and it becomes a quick "ugly" area.

For the bottles, you can use a bin for cleaning products (not expensive at Walmart...). They have a handle so they are easy to carry :) . Great blog btw!
