There are always those little details that get in your way. You can ignore them or you can find a solution. For me this summer the problem was my listening station and the solution came to me when I should have been setting up my classroom. I got so excited about it I spent the next hour fixing my listening station. I am so glad I did!
I have a mix of tapes and CD's (the tapes are all slowly but surely dying). I had them all organized but it never fails that I don't have time to put them away properly so they end up a hot mess not long after the year begins. While cleaning out my closet this summer it came to me!
If I just tape the CD right in the front of the book I'll never be too lazy to put it away! This may be common knowledge for the average teacher but for me this was life changing.....in a super nerdy, OCD, organization nut, kind of way.
Here are my tips:
#1 Tape those covers inside the book!
It won't bother the students when they are reading the book and it's right where you need it when it's time to put the CD away.
Update....later in the year I put out a couple of different books and this made it super easy for kids to switch out their own books!
#2 Band books together so they stay together until the next time
#3 Put books with tapes in gallon size bags.
Those are my tips! I made a lot of room in my closet by putting these all together and hopefully have saved me (and you) some sanity!
Save this for later!
And here is a freebie for response sheets for your listening station!
