Monthly Resources

Hi everyone! It has been a while- I am truly going to start trying to blog more! Now that I've gotten my guilty confession out of the way let's get started! I don't know about y'all but I have a love-hate relationship with my filing cabinet. I love how all of my files are organized by theme/subject and everything can be packed away to save space, but hate how jam packed full the thing is! I can barely reach my hand in there and I most definitely can't see any of my papers!

Luckily, I stumbled across We Heart First's brilliant idea of Monthly Resource Binders find them here. I decided I needed a change! I made it my summer goal to transfer all of my files from my filing cabinet into Monthly Resource Binders. Here's how it turned out...

I decided it would be best to store these cute and useful binders in a crate in my room along with other resource binders. I used 1 1/2 inch binders from Walmart. These crates are also a space saver!

Here's what the printable covers look like. Are they adorable or what?!?! You can download the covers and spines from WeHeart1st!

I put in sight words, assessments, print outs, and activities for that month. I punched holes in Ziploc bags to keep activities organized.  

I even put a copy of books that I know I will use during that month. Here is a copy of The Kissing Hand- I always read it on the first day of school. I also made these signs for Meet the Teacher Day so the parents will easily know what to do. Visit my TPT store to get your copy of these adorable signs to put out for Meet The Teacher Day 

Here is a checklist of procedures to teach the kids during the first week that I stuck in there! A must!

Well, I hope getting a look inside my monthly binders gives you some helpful organizational tips! Please visit WeHeart1st here for the binder covers/spines
