Rockin' Kindergarten for over 30 years!

Getting Organized in the Pet Aisle

Headed back to school?  Today’s Tuesday Teaching Tip will help you get organized!  Debra Weller, CKA Past President and kindergarten teacher says,

“Teachers are always looking for good plastic bins to hold supplies. I find cat litter pans the best for organizing my center materials. 18X12 construction paper fits in the bottom and the sides are deep enough so nothing falls out. I saw a good selection at Big Lots this week. They come in different colors and are about $5.00.”

Are you busy setting up your classroom? What are your tips for staying organized this year?
