My headline speaks for itself folks. I don't like tidying things up. I either lose her or forget I have her. In any case, it was difficult for me as a freshman, because you CANNOT put anything away! Especially paper items! I tried with a vertical stack of paper but I didn't see anything on it. So I ran out of sight, out of mind again, and my piles of papers just kept getting bigger. and more. and kept falling. I'm a mess, okay? But this cute and colorful baby saved that butterfly! I've found that a horizontal folder is way better for my brain. Now my school doesn't provide me with a filing cabinet and I definitely don't have the money to buy one. I have a family filing cabinet where I store student information for report cards etc. But that's about it. I had a Monday-Friday system for my papers, but it quickly fell apart (literally and figuratively. Folders were torn up quickly and lost in heaps before that). And I'm not allowed to have a teacher's desk, so I don't have much room for those stacks either. I have a podium big enough to put my computer and document camera on and half a sheet of paper. So you can imagine how bad my situation was for most of that school year. Organizing a classroom isn't something you're forced to do when pursuing your master's or teaching degree, but it should be for people like me. Here's what I did to get a handle on it: 1. Make a list of all the paper types out there. (Daily assignments for kids to edit, notes what I want to try next year, math workshops to copy, English language workshops to copy, spelling workshops 1-3 to copy, essays to delivery, monthly student work in progress by letter. ) 2. Buy really nice folders of files that match the file's color scheme (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072WH7PFN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Because if it's nice, I'm more likely to keep going. I do not know why. There are no regrets here, however; I kept it for two months! 3. Mark all folders.4. Invite my mom to my room after school to help me go through the stacks and see if there's a category of papers I've missed, papers I might throw out (I hate being wasteful, but...I can't do it all in one day.I'm still learning how NOT to reschedule) and everything is so good. Now I have the same filing system in my home office. If you like to see everything in front of you, this file is for you.
