Elementary Art Room 101: Lesson Plan Organization

This is how I keep all of my unit plans, resources, and objectives organized for the school year!

Each grade level is color coded and has it's own expandable file folder. Within each grade level, for each specific unit, I have a smaller clear plastic envelope folder. This way I am able to store all of my objectives (which I display in the front of my room as can be seen in my previous post), unit/lesson plans, resources, and other materials in one place.

I personally prefer these expandable folders over a traditional filing system. Because my resources are of various sizes, sometimes things wouldn't fit, would fall out, or tear. The plastic envelopes make it so everything stays safe in one convenient location!

I was able to find these online (search for Wallet Expandable File Folders and Clear Plastic Envelope Folder with Button). You can also likely find similar folders at an office/school supply store.

How do you keep your lessons and resources organized?
