Time to Organize
Posted by Debra Liverman on 26 Aug 2008 | Posted in: The Mailbox Books
Although the surface of my desk may not always show it, I would certainly call myself organized. Of course, I was not always that way. My years as a teacher sharpened those skills. Being organized simplified my planning time and helped me feel confident and prepared for each day.
Imagine sitting down to plan for the month and having a resource containing monthly organizing tools, ready-to-go learning centers, and skill practice pages, as well as ideas for bulletin boards, time fillers, arts and crafts, games, and more. That’s our Organize Now! series. Each book gives you the organization tools you need for a successful month. I’ve included some sample pages below. For those of you who have used one of these books before, I’d love to hear how it has helped you get organized. Or if you think you might like this book, tell me why.
Congratulations to Karen Graham! She is the lucky winner of an Organize Now! book!

Looks like a great idea!! I could really use some help!
I purchased all of the organize books when teaching preschool and now that I am teaching kindergarten this year, I look forward to staring a new collection.
What a great idea! I think all teachers are always looking for ways to be more organized and to better use their planning time. Now if only you would make a “How to organize your teacher workroom” series…
Hi! I love the Mailbox magazine! It always has wonderful and fun ideas. The Organize Now book sounds like something I need — I have so much stuff that I CAN’T FIND ANYTHING! I’m always looking for new ideas. Thanks!
I HAVE BEEN USING THE MAILBOX FOR 14 YEARS. I LOVE THE BOOKS AND STILL BUY NEW ONES WHEN I CAN. I USE THEM ON A DAILY BASIS WITH MY PRE-K CLASS. I HOPE THEY NEVER STOP COMING UP WITH GREAT IDEAS. THANKS FOR SHARING THEM WITH US, THE TIRED BUT TRUE TEACHERS !!!
I absolutely love the mailbox magazine and the ideas from all the books I have purchased. I teach pre-k in a public school setting and I constantly supplement the themes, ideas and projects in my plans. I have a few of the Organize Now books and find them very helpful.
Thanks Mailbox!
I’ve have just joined The Mailbox and I have loved it. This looks like a great tool to go along with it.
Thanks for all the cool ideas.
OH I could soooo use some organizational help! I’ve tried really hard to be better about keeping my desk neat and tidy, but it’s so hard! I could really use some tips and tricks from an Organize Now! issue!
The Mailbox is such a great help! I consider it to be my right arm when it comes to being creative and organization. I am a preschool teacher and have been able to use so so many of your ideas and worksheets in my class room. My kids love to do the crafts and we even have special snack time with other classes and make some of the special treats that you include.
Thanks for the many great ideas and keep up the good work.
I was just about to ask the same as Andrea! I also teach 4th grade, and would love to have something like this! It looks like another great resource from Mailbox! Thanks!
Yes, this resource is great. I own the Sept. K-1. and used a lot of pages last year and I will again use it this year too. They have a lot of apple worksheets that are great for the beginning of the year. Since I work @ a Jewish Preschool; apples are a main topic for the Jewish New Year in September.
I have not used this before, but it really looks like it may be helpful. I homeschool my children and i need something to help me organize. I could do without the clip art and I think some time sensitive material/suggestions would be good. example: holidays etc… maybe that is in the book but i couldn’t tell from the sample pages. I love the mailbox! its always a great resource for me and my children love all of the activities that i use from the books!
