Spending a little time getting organized at the end of the school year pays off in the fall. It’s much easier to open up an organized classroom for the next school year! Superkids teachers have the best ideas for organizing and storing their program resources. Here are just a few organizational tips teachers have shared over the years.
1.
If students do not have desks with a storage space, create a space in the classroom that holds materials students will need for each day’s lesson. Individual student boxes or hanging files can include the Student Book or Word Work Book, the Practice Page for the day, the Reader, and any other materials individual students will need. When it is time for your Superkids lesson, students just grab their box or folder, and they are ready to go!
2.
Another smart idea for organizing student resources is to tape a large baggie inside the front cover of each Word Work Book. In the baggie, place game pieces, the Super Secret Reader, Memory Word Cards, Practice Pages, Resource Pages, and any other items children may need during the reading block.
3.
Several teachers have suggested taking some time to organize materials by unit. Place Teacher’s Guides, Practice Page masters, Ten-Minute Tuck-Ins, Alphabet or Sound Spelling Cards, independent activities, etc. that will be needed to teach the unit in a labeled box or bin—you can even use these free editable Superkids labels to add a little extra flair. When the unit begins, you’ll have everything you need to teach in one place!
4.
Before the school year begins, make one hard copy of each Practice Page, Backpack Page, Resource Page, Ten-Minute Tuck-In Card, Activity Page, and Assessment page that you will need for each unit. Put all hard copies for one unit into a single labeled page protector. When a new unit comes around, simply pull that page protector and you are ready to make the student copies for the entire unit.
