​ I LOVE my books organized by genre. I have organized Alphabetically by title, by Fountas and Pinnell Levels (ABCDE...) I am posting a new video TODAY about organizing by genre. It's simple for me AND for the kids to keep straightened. A few years ago when I was going into a new grade after being in an administrative role I had my fourth graders assist me! It was great. I'd love to share!

[@poppy9830]

So happy to hear that because I just got finished with organizing all of my books by genre! :)

You’re approaching your moving situation so calmly! So much respect for your efficiency! ❤️

You got this girl!!!! I was starting to feel overwhelmed because I realized we have trainings all week and then school starts. 😭 But my parents helped me move everything into the classroom and we set up some stuff tonight. I am sure it will all come together! Little progress is progress already! 💛 We got this!

[@poppy9830]

Yesss we got this!! You're right, little progress is progress! That's awesome you're starting to set up your classroom ahhh I'm so excited to see it! and trust me I know how overwhelmed it can be at the beginning with the trainings and then school starting.. everything flies by so fast, you'll be starting school in no time!

I organize my books by genre and I have a separate section of books for leveled readers. Students have the opportunity to book shop from both sections weekly.

[@poppy9830]

Love this! Thanks for sharing :)

[@TheLeAnder97]

Did you switch schools or just grade levels?

[@poppy9830]

Both! New school and new grade levels :)

I am beginning my 24th year of teaching and I am still learning so much! That's one of the best parts about teaching, every year we get new kids, new personalities, new backgrounds, etc. Creates new-ness every year! I currently teach future teachers at Utah Valley University and started my teaching tips channel 5 days ago! Check out my channel and see if there are some tips you could use!

I would add to start a Roth IRA for retirement. Also consider 403b if the fees aren't too high. See my page for more tips for teachers.

[@poppy9830]

Thanks for the advice :)

[@JamieSchnablegger]

You can sort your books by interest but write the Lexie/AR level inside and ensure that the students are aware of their levels

[@poppy9830]

Great idea, thank you! :)

That’s what desks are for...teach them to properly organize and save the planet from all of that plastic.

[@poppy9830]

You're right, definitely a good way to teach organization! I just feel that since I have 3 different classes throughout the day, it'll be easier for me to organize their materials elsewhere so that they don't mix up or go through each other's stuff. I do have to say I'm a little biased towards tables since that's what I'm used to haha so this will be a new experience!

[@mariasibbio8844]

I am a second year teacher and I absolutely get into my room and freeze! I feel like it is definitely best to just start. It can be so overwhelming 🙁

[@poppy9830]

Yes definitely so overwhelming! I can't wait to just be done with it and start the year!!
