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!

I have been teaching for over 20 years and have enjoyed mailbox from the first time I borrowed a copy from the first school I taught in. I now have my own subscription because Mailbox disappears fast from our library. I would love a copy of 0rganize now. I can’t remember seeing a copy in the stores.
With so many years of items I don’t want to part with and feel I need to keep to use for each up-coming classes I could always use some help in keeping things in order. Thanks for having such a great magazine.
I have 2 of the “Organize Now” books, and absolutely love them - can’t wait to purchase a few more this year. Even as a veteran teacher, I always like finding out new ideas - especially ones that keep me organized! Keep up the great work at Mailbox Magazine - I have been a subscriber for years!!
I’ve not tried the new series, but will check it out the next time I am in a teaching products store.
Hi
I was introduced to the “Organize This” series when I first started teaching 2 years ago. My director showed me the months that we had and I LOVE IT! I currently am heading in to a new adventure of teaching Pre-School and am finding myself a bit overwhelmed and feeling disorganized. If I had the extra money, I would definitely go and order this series to help me stay organized this year!
It has a lot of great ideas and I enjoy using it!
I love using The Mailbox Magazine. I have purchased some of the Organize Now books and love them. I have a friend that is a new teacher this year in another state and I keeping telling her she needs to subscribe to The Mailbox. I LOVE IT!!
I have used Mailbox magizine ever since I started teaching. they have never not been on the
mark with their material. I will be very excited to use this magizine. Barb Hardin
I have used the Preschool Organize October. I wish I could buy all of them. They are a great help to any early childhood teacher. I like the center ideas and themes each month.
I am new to Third Grade this year. I will be looking at my past Mailbox yearbooks to find ideas for this new grade. I have never tried the Organize Now series. However I feel it is beneficial to organize activities by month. I will be trying this new product. I already subscribe to Teacher’s Helper and I love it! I am hoping that The Mailbox will be publishing straight 3rd grade issues in all of your products.
Third graders are a special grade and need to get ready for intermediate skills instead of leaning towards the 2nd graders.
I have not tried this series yet. Sounds great.
Wow! I am a first year teacher, and could not even get into my school at all over the summer to organize or anything, due to extensive cleaning. I’m desperate for help, and this book looks like a great start!
This series seems like a wonderful idea for new and seasoned teachers! Being on the relatively new side, I think this sounds great to guide my teaching for a particular month. Rather than searching for that paper “I just know I have!”, having everything in one place sounds like a much better solution!
