Get Real: Organization

This linky party literally made me LOL!

Thank you Hilary for hosting:
                                    

                             

           If you need a little comradery, inspiration, and laughter, 
PLEASE visit Hilary to see all the hilarious entries so far. 
Better yet, add your own!

I actually pride myself on being organized. My on-the-job duties sometimes feel a bit out of my control, so organizing the paper chaos IS something I can control.

Most of the time.






I'm posting the above picture because I truly don't even know where to begin with those stacks. I have been purchasing incredible close reading units (way more than I need) and I'm using them for FOUR differentiated groups. I don't want to spend my life at the copier, so I keep printing as I go. 

Any ideas? My first thought was a binder, but I don't want to keep opening and closing the rings to make copies. My next thought was printing the table of contents so I can remember what I have and which students needs what?

Please leave a comment if you've found a solution to all this PAPER! 
                                               Thanks, Jen :)

  1. Hi!!!
    Have you thought of those accordion style file thingys (sorry I don't know the actual name). Maybe having one for each group and organize the master copies in the file compartments. ???

    Anyways I enjoyed finding this post it made me smile! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I love the picture of your desktop and the hidden space below! That is good. Now I really want to know about your tubs. I'm going to need some information of how that system works. I feel like one summer I need to just do an overhaul of it all and create a tub system for everything!

  4. The top of your desk is SO clean! I know what you mean about leaving things in stacks. Sometimes it's just quicker to grab the stack and make copies.
