We love our custodians very much! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff Q5: Do you use music to motivate students/yourself to clean? If so, what’s your favorite song to clean to? A3 wins! #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff Smart! RT @rhen246: @ReallyGoodStuff motivate yourself, while the kids are cleaning up, the teacher cleans up, too. #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff Sure!

I just got here! If that’s ok…:) #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff RT @KishSWE: I think as long as I remind myself that I can find things faster when Im organized, I stay motivated. ReallyGoodStuff @MissAsKinder Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

RT @Bubbletime619: I make all copies a week ahead and file them (by day of week) next to kidney table #TeachChat MissAsKinder @ReallyGoodStuff Staying motivated to be organized is hard. It’s my weakness. I believe that students need my positive example #teachchat AnIowaTeacher A4: Organized teacher shows the students the importance of staying organized! MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff motiviation to keep organized: So I don’t lose track of important stuff AND to be a good role model! #teachchat JessicaSiedman I’ve been working on cleaning out things I don’t need or things that I can get online i just throw out now. #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @Bubbletime619 I file copies by subject. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff Here’s the key classroom organization question…Q4: How do we motivate OURSELVES to keep the classroom organized? A3 wins. #TeachChat Bubbletime619 #TeachChat. I male all copies a week ahead and file them (by day of week) next to kidney table MrsMorgansClass My thing is that I have to have it in sight or I forget about it – out of sight out of mind. #teachchat JessicaSiedman Absolutely! @ReallyGoodStuff: Would you agree that the key to Classroom Organization is self-discipline? #TeachChat RedMist8 @MrsMorgansClass#Teachchat I requested my desk be removed this year because I am tired of it being piled on ReallyGoodStuff Right…so we know what we have to do to get the classroom organized (labels, places for everything) and we know we have to model #TeachChat JessicaSiedman @ReallyGoodStuff I’ve actually been eyeying that one! MrsMorgansClass @MissYsClass the 1/24th rule #teachchat topcntryfn Totally agree! #teachchat MrsMorgansClass yes! RT @ReallyGoodStuff: Would you agree that the key to Classroom Organization is self-discipline? For teachers and students? #teachchat Bubbletime619 #TeachChat i use it through the day with small groups this table is always clean. MissYsClass @MrsMorgansClass I was just reading that in The Daily 5 last week. Interesting… #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff Would you agree that the key to Classroom Organization is self-discipline? Both for teachers and students? #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass Some schools of thought encourage teachers to use the same amount of space as students – no huge teacher desk! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff @FredEnde Thanks so much for being here!! Have a great night! #TeachChat Bubbletime619 #TeachChat generally set up my kidney table in front of the room so I can have my laptop & projector on it, and ReallyGoodStuff I like this idea – with magazine type bins for the M-F materials pinterest.com/pin/2055471704…#TeachChat Bubbletime619 #TeachChat in reality, I hate my desk. I never use it unless it’s to put stuff on. I love using a kidney table to work at. I FredEnde Have a good night all. Have to check out early. Great chat. Thanks, Brandi! MrsMorgansClass @MissYsClass It’s one of the first things I repinned on @Pinterest! #teachcha JessicaSiedman Awesome! Thanks!

Congratulations! Email me your mailing address at TeachersLounge@ReallyGoodStuff.com #TeachChat FredEnde @MissYsClass Yep. Took me a while to get that one. ReallyGoodStuff RT @JessicaSiedman I use file folders on my desk label M-F everything i need for day goes in behind my desk- pocket chart #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass this was helpful as long as I didn’t pile stuff on top! #teachchatpinterest.com/pin/2739455898… via @Pinterest MissYsClass A lesson I learned in my 2nd year teaching! RT @FredEnde: And. . .only buy materials that you’ll have a place to store. #teachchat JessicaSiedman pocket chart to store frequently used papers #TeachChat JessicaSiedman I use file folders on my desk label Monday-Friday- everything i need for the day goes in behind my desk I have the pocket chart #TeachChat FredEnde And. . .only buy materials that you’ll have a place to store. #teachchat topcntryfn Keeping all Reading together, all Math together, all art supplies together, etc. Helps the kids and myself to know where thingsr #teachchat FredEnde @ReallyGoodStuff @JessicaSiedman said it. . . Never leave for the day until your desk is organized. #teachchat MsKrisinBrazil @MrsMorgansClass Got it! Thanks! Still some kids could care less about clean up and it’s fustrating. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff RT @FredEnde: RT @JessicaSiedman: I try to organize my desk before I leave each day. So important! #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff routines that are set in place and reinforced throughout the whole year. #teachchat FredEnde RT @JessicaSiedman: I try to organize my desk before I leave each day. So important! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff RT @FredEnde: One of my best lessons learned was that once I focused on keeping my space set, student organization followed #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff not sure – some students are just REALLY organized – others are not – have to teach to use folders and not cram. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff @MrsMorgansClass Ha! Mine too. With the “I’ll file it later” thought. #TeachChat JessicaSiedman I try to organize my desk before I leave each day. For students we have frequent organization sessions #TeachChat FredEnde One of my best lessons learned was that once I focused on keeping my space set, student organization followed #TrueStory#teachchat ReallyGoodStuff Q3: What is your BEST Classroom Organization tip/trick? A4 wins. #TeachChat MissYsClass I do try my best to model an organized desk and working space… my class definitely excelled over my grade partner’s. #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff I made a special hanging file to help, but stuff gets piled on top of it. #teachchat FredEnde @RedMist8 Such a challenge. Tough to enforce when we can’t keep our own spaces organized. #AToughOne#teachchat ReallyGoodStuff RT @FredEnde: If you can keep your space organized,youll notice students are more likely to do the same with theirs #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @MsKrisinBrazilonline-stopwatch.com/bomb-countdown/ online stopwatch site. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff @RedMist8 I understand! Paper piles get me every time. #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff RT @ReallyGoodStuff: RT @MrsMorgansClass: online dynamite countdown timer: online-stopwatch.com/bomb-countdown/#TeachChat FredEnde If you can keep your space organized, you’ll notice students are more likely to do the same with theirs #Easiersaidthandone#teachchat MsKrisinBrazil @MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff Can you share the dynamite timer link? #teachchat MrsMorgansClass @topcntryfnonline-stopwatch.com/bomb-countdown/ online stopwatch site. #teachchat RedMist8 @ReallyGoodStuff#teachchat my students use tables so its usually my desk because I harp on them to clean but I don’t do it myself ReallyGoodStuff Mine too. You’re not alone! =) RT @Bubbletime619: #TeachChat my desk…and way b4 mid year #TeachChat FredEnde @MrsMorgansClass If you are lucky enough to have an interactive whiteboard, lots of great timers built in to those. . . #teachchat topcntryfn Thanks for the website for the timer @MrsMorgansClass#teachchat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff MY desk is like a trash heap at the end of everyday! #teachchat topcntryfn Depends on the child whether it’s the child or my desk. lol Some children’s are absolutely awful. #teachchat MissAsKinder @MrsMorgansClass Online stopwatch has a ton of other types of timers as well that are too fun to play with! #teachchat FredEnde @MrsMorgansClass Great! Shows students that everything has a limit. If too messy to meet time, other methods must be used. #teachchat Bubbletime619 #TeachChat my desk…and way b4 mid year ReallyGoodStuff RT @MrsMorgansClass: online dynamite countdown timer: online-stopwatch.com/bomb-countdown/#TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff @MissYsClass That’s convenient! #TeachChat topcntryfn Dynamite love it @MrsMorgansClass where can I find that timer? LOL #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff RT @MrsMorgansClass I set an online timer for one or two minutes -when the dynamite blows up they have to be back at their seats. #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass online dynamite countdown timer: online-stopwatch.com/bomb-countdown/#teachchat MissYsClass I teach in a Catholic School so we are also able to tie-in Catholic Social Teaching with the idea of cleaning. #TeachChat JessicaSiedman @MrsMorgansClass sounds familiar! #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff Tough question here..what do you find is more disorganized mid-way through the year? Students desks or yours? (It’s always me!) #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff I set an online timer for one or two minutes – when the dynamite blows up they have to be back at their seats. #teachchat FredEnde @MrsMorgansClass And, some students love cleaning and organizing, but only certain things. The goal is to find out early. MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff yep – the cleaners and the non-cleaners – of course, the non-cleaners had all the trash under their desk! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff LOL You may. ReallyGoodStuff RT @JessicaSiedman: I like the idea that FreEnde said-allow students to come up with plan that they can use to put away #TeachChat MissYsClass @MrsMorgansClass Oh my goodness… that was my classroom last year. how divided it was! #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff Love using music to clean up! RT @topcntryfn: For Kinder I always also used music for clean up #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass Some kids jump at the chance to clean and organize – others look at you like you have asked them to yank out a tooth. #teachchat MissYsClass @ReallyGoodStuff Can I email you in Comic Sans? Teehee. #TeachChat JessicaSiedman Then I agree- PRACTICE I do a lot of practice with all routines beginning of year #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff RT @FredEnde: @ReallyGoodStuff For older students, discuss the rationale and the relevance. #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff You win! Congrats! Please email me your mailing addy @ TeachersLounge@ReallyGoodStuff.com RT @MissYsClass LOTS of modeling! #TeachChat FredEnde RT @RedMist8: @ReallyGoodStuff#teachchat Beginning of the year model and train/practice practice.. #teachchat FredEnde @ReallyGoodStuff For older students, discuss the rationale and the relevance. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff @Bubbletime619 Hi Jill! You’re doing it right! #TeachChat topcntryfn For Kinder I always also used music for clean up #teachchat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff A2: practice, practice, practice! #teachchat JessicaSiedman I like the idea that FreEnde said-allow students to come up with plan that they can use to put away so it’s not just me and a few #TeachChat MissYsClass LOTS of modeling! #TeachChat RedMist8 @ReallyGoodStuff#teachchat Beginning of the year model and train/practice practice.. Harder for us to remember to model topcntryfn Practice with them, model, model, model, role play #teachchat Bubbletime619 #TeachChat hi. Just checking if I’m doing this right FredEnde @JessicaSiedman Also might be good for early obs. Who can handle this type of activity? Who can’t? Team players? Loaners? #teachchat MrsMorgansClass Absolutely NO Jokerman or Ransom! RT @FredEnde: @MissYsClass Just not #Wingdings. Please, no wingdings. ReallyGoodStuff Agreed! ReallyGoodStuff Now, we have the labels….Q2: how do we get students (and ourselves) to put things back where they belong? A3 wins! #TeachChat FredEnde @JessicaSiedman Could start small. . . where should our math center be located? Why? Okay, let’s give it a try and set it up. #teachchat MissYsClass @FredEnde Oh I stay FAR away… MrsMorgansClass *Helvetica*RT @ReallyGoodStuff: Lol ExactlyRT @MrsMorgansClass: @ReallyGoodStuff helvitica all the way (hipster approved)! #teachchat FredEnde @MissYsClass Just not #Wingdings. Please, no wingdings. ReallyGoodStuff Lol Exactly RT @MrsMorgansClass: @ReallyGoodStuff helvitica all the way (hipster approved)! #TeachChat JessicaSiedman @FredEnde I am intrigued by this thought…:) Something to think about! #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff So, moving on from comic sans…lol…. #TeachChat MissYsClass @RedMist8 @MrsMorgansClass Good call! I like that one too. I may switch my labels to something similar to that for this year. #teachchat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff helvitica all the way (hipster approved)! #teachchat FredEnde @JessicaSiedman I wonder if having them help create an organization method would make them more likely to follow it. #teachchat MrsMorgansClass correct. RT @ReallyGoodStuff: @MrsMorgansClass LOL! I am, BUT I also think that its hard for students just learning to read #teachchat RedMist8 @MrsMorgansClass @MissYsClass#Teachchat I like Century Gothic for basic font. ReallyGoodStuff I also dislike comic sans as a mom of a dyslexic son who has enough trouble trying to decode w/o having to worry about font MissYsClass @MrsMorgansClass Boo! I use it all the time for my 3rd graders. Maybe it’s time to change! LOL #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @MissYsClass I love comic sans but unfortunately it has fallen out of favor with the “font purists” :-/ #teachchat 2ndgradecoach Print rich is extremely beneficial for my ell learners #TeachChat RedMist8 #teachchat When labeling the classroom (walls, doors, etc) I have index cards and the kids help me with that! They place them too ReallyGoodStuff @MrsMorgansClass LOL! I am, BUT I also think that it’s hard for students just learning to read #TeachChat JessicaSiedman @FredEnde I teach 4th. I haven’t tried having them create the scheme, I have everything set before they come FredEnde @ReallyGoodStuff#ComicSansLoversUnite! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff Stay away from the distracting labels and focus. #TeachChat FredEnde @MrsMorgansClass Great for finding and reading/spelling. Multi-goal! #teachchat MissYsClass @ReallyGoodStuff Do you guys really think Comic Sans is hard to read? I think it’s bold bubbly form is kid-friendly! #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff are you a “font snob” LOL! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff If you need to put pictures on your labels, go for it! As @MrsMorgansClass said, make sure it’s kid-friendly! #TeachChat MrsMorgansClass I label everything in my room: door, ceiling, wall, floor, carpet, curtain, window, white board – a virtual dictionary! #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff One thing to remember about labeling is that it’s important that it’s in a font that is easily readable.No comic sans/curly-qs! #TeachChat TXteachertweets @ReallyGoodStuff the kids know exactly where to get and return materials from. #TeachChat 2ndgradecoach Absolutely agree…..labeling is crucial to everyone who is part of the room #TeachChat FredEnde @JessicaSiedman How old are your students? What if they create the organization scheme? #teachchat TXteachertweets @ReallyGoodStuff yes! I have ALL our materials and math manipulatives in dollar shoe boxes labeled with contents. Love it! #TeachChat MissYsClass I am a big believer in lots of labeling. Keeps me and the kids organized and on point. #TeachChat topcntryfn Sure is so the kids know where things are #teachchat FredEnde @ReallyGoodStuff Absolutely. Makes it much easier to find things and allows you to chunk your room into storage “sections” #teachchat MrsMorgansClass @ReallyGoodStuff yes, labeling is important – it needs to be kid-friendly though so they can help put things away. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff I don’t think there can be such a thing as too much labeling. Remember, even labels give students reading practice! #TeachChat JessicaSiedman @ReallyGoodStuff yes, labeling and giving everything a place #TeachChat RedMist8 @ReallyGoodStuff#teachchat YES! Labeling is the #1 important thing I think JessicaSiedman @FredEnde I try the everything has a place technique but I still find that it is me and a few kiddos that keep up with it #TeachChat FredEnde @RedMist8 Ah. A bigger challenge then. I imagine it can get easier as the year progresses. . . #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff Let’s focus on labeling in the classroom for a moment….do we agree that it’s crucial for classroom organization? #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff I pushed for it last week for you! =)RT @JessicaSiedman: @MrsMorgansClass That would be a great show!! Would love to be on that! #TeachChat RedMist8 @FredEnde#teachchat great idea but they are kindergarten with most never being in school before. I have had them help with the library FredEnde @suzyb Storage on wheels can sometimes make this easier. I like carts most because your storage space can become meeting space. #teachchat ReallyGoodStuff That is definitely a challenge! RT @MissYsClass: @ReallyGoodStuff Keeping it organized ALL YEAR. #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff @suzyb Hi! Welcome! #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff @christina564 Hi Christina! #TeachChat ReallyGoodStuff @MissYsClass Welcome! #TeachChat JessicaSiedman @MrsMorgansClass That would be a great show!!
