I teamed up with Autism Classroom for her link up on everything Workbaskets!
When trying to organize all of my work jobs I've tried many different storage options and I finally found one that I love!
When trying to organize all of my work jobs I've tried many different storage options and I finally found one that I love!
1) File Folders: I
quickly found out that there were some activities that they wouldn't all fit and this
filled up my filing cabinets very quickly and I HATE filing cabinets. I definitely did not want more of these in my classroom!
2) Binders: I worked so
hard on creating my lovely work jobs that I didn't want to put holes in them :(
So this didn't last long! As well as the fact that again I have some larger
items that wouldn't fit into a binder. If you decide to do a binder you could take a picture of your larger items so you remember next year.
3) Drawers: I had some
long drawers in my classroom that I attempted to store my
items in. I was able to the majority of my larger objects into the drawers but
when the days got crazy and as time went on I quickly lost track of where
everything was and we would just throw a work job into any random
drawer. So no organization, which drives me nuts!
4) Tubs: My Final solution was
rubber made tubes. I didn't want them to be BIG and bulky so I went with
some small boxes 16"X12".
I was able to put my
paper work jobs as well as my bigger work jobs such as: sorting containers and
erasers, etc. I sorted my boxes into fall, winter, spring and year round work
jobs. I also have a container for work job materials (extra containers, pom
poms, beads, velcro, etc) which helps so I can easily make a new work job when I feel
inspired or have time! You can store them anyway you'd like but this is how I
did mine!
Another tip that I have
is to take pictures of work jobs that you might not use all the time such as:
This way you remember
them all for next year!
