Classroom Organization for New Teachers: How to Organize the Classroom to Minimize Behavior Challenges
Effective classroom organization will lay the foundation for an effective classroom management plan. The physical layout of the classroom reflects the personal style of the teacher.

I am in love with organizing…. to some…maybe a bit obsessive. I love everything to have a place…and not only a place…but a picture to show you where its place should be. Girly…cute…organization bins and folders are a must for my desk, and fabulously jungle themed folders and cubbies for my lovies.

I get up, hit the ground running, go through a series of hugs, cuddles, lesson plan executions, read alouds, correcting, meal making, bottle-feeding, lunch-packing, dish-washing, the "occasional" running of a vacuumn or passing of a broom, bath, pjs, bedtime stories and crash for another day.
Organization Tips from Mrs. McDavid I have had many teachers stop by my room to ask how I keep things so well organized. I have had other teachers to ask if I would consider teaching a staff development course at our school to help teachers become better organized. Truly it's the small details that make the biggest impact.
Getting Organized
Staying organized is the secret to staying sane throughout the school year. The more organized you are, the easier your teaching day will be. I recommend these five simple steps for classroom organization: Write/post your daily agenda and class schedules for students to see. Many student questions will be answered by simply reading the information. Provide a mailbox for each student for distributing weekly assignments and other important information.
