Organized or Not?
Posted by Kim Murphy on 08 Sep 2009 | Posted in: Classroom Management, Organization and Supplies, Teachers and Teaching
As I look about my office, I notice a lot of piles. There are piles of folders, piles of ideas, and piles of miscellaneous things that need to be sorted into other piles. I’m sure some of my coworkers are horrified at my haphazard organizational system. It isn’t that I don’t want to have everything in its place; I really do! However, my brain doesn’t seem to function that way.
The one time I always had everything organized and as neat as a pin was at the beginning of the school year. Of course, my organized room would slowly disintegrate into my more typical piling method. Do you consider yourself well organized? Are you consistently neat and tidy or do you lean a bit more toward my method of organization? Do you feel that your home and classroom are both organized or does one suffer? Drop me a line and let me know!
Your slightly disorganized blog host,
Kim

Hey, I’m the same way! I have stacks of folders, ideas and I never seem to have enough room. Or maybe I’m not organized enough either. One problem is that I never throw anything away! Then again Iam a Head Start Pre-K teacher, so I use a lot of recycled material.
Well, I feel my method is very much like yours…
I start out very organized and then go to my piles. I also find as many teachers in my building have said if one place is organized then the other place suffers. We can’t ever seem to have both places clean and tidy. If someone knows how let me in on it!
I am like you…I start my year off with all these great ideas to keep my room and desk neat and organized but as the days go by and I get busier I find myself a mess.
