It started with this turquoise chevron-patterned notebook. Perfect for writing notes about the lesson plan for the day's class. I printed and added a label.
Then I happened across a matching solid turquoise accordion file . . .
Printed labels (umm . . . turquoise ink of course) for the tabs.
Added a label to a matching two-pocket folder. And just like that, all my teaching materials for one class color-coded and labeled. No more running to the wrong class with the wrong folder. No more pulling out a handful of manila folders from my bag and trying to figure out which one has handouts, which one has papers to pass back . . and where are those quizzes?
Lesson Learned: I often talk to my students about the importance of organization, suggesting that they keep their notes for each class together and have a place for handouts and other paperwork. It's nice to talk about it, but it's better to teach by example.
