I was back in the classroom today for a few hours working on getting things ready for the new school year. These 2 pictures are of the bookcase I use for my book group books and literature circle books. Basically this is where I store my multiple copies). I use plastic bins to expand my space and then I cover it up with a piece of fabric that ha been sewn to fit the front of the bookcase. It takes the distraction away and it keeps it private like a closet. One project hat I would like to work on is to inventory all of these books so I have a list at my finger tips.
The pictures below are of my supply drawers. Last year I bought these 2 drawer crates at AC Moore (with a coupon) and then last summer I taped them, painted them, taped them again and finished. I then made a "map" of where everything is located. You can peek inside to see how I organized them. The little bins are from Target's dollar section.
I'll be back shortly to show my progress. I started working on some bulletin boards before I left today so I am hoping to finish that next.
