Keeping it organized

As I mentioned in my last post we have two different rotations.  Some grades have six teachers and some have five.  I make this binder to help keep myself organized and hopefully will help when I need a sub. 


I used a bright colored cardstock to make the dividers (mainly because I hate the dividers from the store).  The divders are 9.5 inches by 11 inches.  I did not laminate them because our machine was down (eek). There are 11 sections.  The first part of the binder goes from Monday to Friday.  I have a class roster, printed seating chart, the roster from the first part of the year and the penciled in seating chart I made.  I also keep some notebook paper after the printed seating chart so that I can record what we did that day.  My memory is bad and some classes are on a different week's lesson.

 The six day rotation comes after that and it is set up the exact same way.  The dividers have a printed label with a mustache sticker.  It is heavy and can be cumbersome but it is a tremendous help. 

On the other side of the table of contents (which is now in a page protector) I have the the main schedule. 

I cannot lie, it took me two weeks to get this to rights because of one holiday and the six day rotation.  I am so glad I didn't give up (I like small projects).
