Beginning of the year TIME CAPSULE

Have I mentioned that I love Pinterest?!  Ok, maybe a time or two...but I really love all of the ideas that you can find!  This idea was wonderful -- and thought I would share as all the new teachers or new school year, brings new students -- and wouldn't it be fun to see how tall they are at the start of the year and keep it all and do the same thing at the end of the year?!  My little preschoolers that I have had for the last 13 years great so much over the course of the school year -- it was amazing to see the difference!!



First week of school time capsule- stamp & date their itty handprints, measure their height with yarn, and have them fill out a little first day info sheet with their self portrait on the back. Then save 'till the last day of school and have them open it and do the exact same activity! It’ll be so much fun to see how much they grow and change this year!! Love this idea! (download sheets!)




Monthly organization

One more organization idea...
Monthly Storage idea

I love this -- right now, I do not have a classroom of my own and there are times when it is nice to just have the necessary papers, files, materials all in one place!  I love this and think it would work great for my themes that I use in Preschool! 

Organization for the Unorganized Teacher

I am an organizer -- I love organizing...but don't look too closely at my house (especially during the summer months when I am home with my wonderful children!).  I am also addicted to Pinterest and love, love, love the ideas.  So, one of the things I want to share is a pin that I found on Pinterest...

This is a desktop organizer that misskindergartenlove.blogspot.com posted on her blog...from yet another blogger!  I just loved the idea and that it can be picked up and put into a 31 Organizing tote for going home and working on "homework"!  Thanks for the idea Miss Kindergarten!!  I love it and cannot wait to try something similar this next year!!
