I love anything seasonal. Pumpkin scented candles in the fall, pinecone wreaths at Christmastime, and big ole’ pots of fresh planted herbs in the summer. Same goes for my classroom and my students. Slap a holiday theme on an activity and it’s suddenly a hot commodity in my room. We have been growing quite the collection of seasonal goods in our room lately. Obviously this is just great news but the issue becomes – how the heck do we store all this stuff in a way that we can actually find it next year? That last part is key. There is one thing for things to be nicely stored away and a whole other thing for things to be nicely stored away that you can easily access. You all know what I mean 😉
3 Big Bins by Season
First off, I break everything into seasons. September – November go in Fall, December – February in Winter, and March – May in Spring. In theory, it’d be nice to have a bin for each monthly but honestly – I don’t have enough space and these big ole’ sturdy bins last and can be stored easily.
In each bin are individual binders, baggies of materials, and other seasonal goodies (file folders, games, nick-nacks).
Binder for Each Month
Each month has its own binder. This makes storing all worksheets and other flat materials a breeze.
First off in each binder goes our Vocabulary Unit for the month. {See all Vocabulary Units here}
Then goes our Wh- Question Mini Pack for the month. {see Seasonal Wh- Units here}
Then worksheets go in by levels.
And last goes our monthly bingo! Everything in one place and ready to grab & go! {see Monthly Bingos here}
Other items stored in each bin are our –
monthly How Many? What Color? What? Adapted Books
any other games and activities
and Seasonal File Folder Activities.
