Every now and then there are projects that you want to get done in your classroom but you know how time consuming they will be. What a great feeling it is do get those projects off your list and see some of your work being used.
Last week I decided to conquer another project - labeling all of our manipulative bins. It wasn't too difficult and I'm pleased with the results. 
Each day as I would pick up bits and pieces of toys I would get irritated searching for the correct bin. If this irritated me, I can only imagine how the kids felt.
For this organization project I simply took each bin one at a time and took a picture of the content inside the bin. For most of them I was able to put a few pieces on the table and take a picture. For smaller items (such as the bears) I left them inside the container when taking the picture. I printed the pictures on the color printer at work, cut them out, laminated them, and taped the pictures onto the bins. Like I said, it wasn't anything difficult, it was just time consuming.
I'm sooooo glad it's done. :D
What kind of classroom organization projects have you conquered?

Organizing Manipulative Bins

Home school organization
Lindsey of Enjoy the Journey is a homeschooling mom. She recently published a post with photos and descriptions of the methods she uses to store and organize her home school materials. Her photos were an inspiration to me, and I think they offer creative solutions for the 'lack of storage' issues many home schoolers face. I will post more organizational ideas as I find them, and I would love to have you share how you keep your home (or other) school items from cluttering your house.
