CHEAP CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION IDEAS!

THANK YOU, TEACHERS! I've been teaching for 8 years, and here are a few of my favorite ways to ORGANIZE my classroom. CHEAP OR FREE! I also teach Spanish...perhaps that should have been explained with the labels. ;)

Former daycare worker here. I absolutely love your videos and organizing tips and tricks! As my mom would say, "You're inner teacher is showing", that is one of my favorite quotes. Teaching is a joyful establishment, you make me so eager and excited to be back in that feild!! I love the look on a childs face when they learn something new. Being a small part of our future generation and being able to instill in them more than just a curriculum is absolutely satisfying to my soul! Catherine you are teaching our future doctors, lawyers, ect. how blessed their parents are to have you as their teacher! Your sweet spirit and love shows through in every video! Much love to you friend♡

I am an elementary classroom teacher.  Would love to see a video tour of your classroom.
Always fun to get ideas from other classrooms!
Thanks for the great tips!

I didn't know you were a Spanish teacher! I'm in my second year of teaching Spanish! I've been watching your videos for a while. Love it!

Hello! I just wanted to say, your channel and I fell in love at first sight! I am a first year (ever) English kinder teacher at a private school in Costa Rica. The labels you have written on your pieces were the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae. They prefer that the less Spanish I speak, the better, but seeing first hand the ideas you put forth for your Spanish class helps immensely! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The ideas are sensational. Please keep it up!

Love these tips! I'm a homeschooler and not a classroom teacher but some of these are SO useful. Thanks!

I love that you reuse as many plastic containers, too! Thanks for the great ideas! Here's to reusing more and more of our plastic containers!

Oh I didn't you are a Spanish Teacher, awesome. Love the idea on the CD rack.

I was wondering why I was watching this video - I am 54 and my children are in college.  You are just so cute, happy, lovely, and fun to watch!!  Love your enthusiasm and the time you take to make videos to help us all.  I will start looking at my used containers in a new way.  I make jewelry for a living and always need help with organizing a million beads and supplies.  Thanks so much!!!

Homeschool mom of 6 and I just love yourCD rack idea and hot glue on brick! I love this. I don't have brick but wish I did now :). I use file folders for daily work and work books. Milk crates are also good for tugs but the file folders don't hang as well in them. Thanks for the tips. Teacher tips are always great.

You are like the sweetest thing ever! Teaching is not for me so I appreciate everything you and everyone else in your field can do!

[KISSmartie]

Great ideas. I did a similar repurpose with baby formula containers. I tried re-covering them with colorful lining paper, which can be tricky. Chalkboard paint sounds easier. PS, like the idea of SPN videos too.

Woohoo for teachers! I teach grade 2 and I could totally use these ideas!! One awesome organization idea I got off Pinterest is to use those crates and files for organizing construction paper! Storing it in a closet or on a shelf is always so annoying because you have to stack it and when you need a colour from the bottom you have to pull it all out! So annoying. This way they're all separated and easy to find! Thanks for a great video!

Great ideas! I love your videos & find them so helpful. I use a dishwasher tab container at home for storing my son's sidewalk chalk.Tissue Boxes to store grocery bags.Icecream buckets w/lid for crayons & small toys.The big square containers salad mix comes in for playdough & paints.Coffee cans are geat for many things too.

Me sorprendio ver este video con letreros en Español... Que Cool.

The file for the work is great for us. I need to re-purpose a container I have and get my son's "homeschool" stuff done ahead of time. He's technically in preschool but both him and I this would be awesome. We only do work 2 days a week, but then I have it ready to go. Activities, papers, coloring pages. This is AWESOME!

Love the tip for missing work! I usually keep everything in one folder but students never look past the first paper that's in there. Just ordered hanging folders to implement this this year! Thanks.

[jjscosita]

I always come away from your channel with practical ideas. I love it. Though I am not a teacher, I will be using your cd holder idea. Between my husband and I we have about five electronic devices that could be stored in one. Awesome!!!

Hola! Descubrí tu canal de youtube hace unos meses y me encantan todos los consejos que das. Te escribo en español porque me he sorprendido mucho al descubrir que eras profesora de español. Quiero darte las gracias por compartir mi idioma. Toda mi vida he estudiado inglés porque me encanta y afortunadamente he aprendido suficiente para ver tus videos. Podría haberte comentado en inglés, pero me ha parecido más conveniente hacerlo en español. 

PD: Me encantaría oirte hablar en español y seguro ganarías más seguidores.

I hope you've understood everything. Thank you very much again.

Love it all!!!! And yes, so many tips that can be used at home! Speaking of the CD racks, you can convert the taller ones into makeshift shelves for small spaces (also with DVD racks). Just cut out some foam poster board and insert into every 8th slot and voila, a shelf! :) I love the idea of using a wine rack that way - I was going to throw ours away but I'm glad to see I can use it for something else! Thanks!!! xoxo Clara
