You're utterly amazing and I'm in total awe of you---because I'm your antithesis. I'm so not crafty, but I wish I was. I'm lucky if I can glue two pieces of paper together! Ack!

I am stopping by from SITS and wanted to say a quick hello. I'm glad I've found you and I plan to be back soon to catch up!

Are you teaching 6th grade? I thought that was what a previous post had said (I'm being lazy and not going back to double check) but this post said you are in elementary... I thought the ideas you were using were great but seemed elementary, not Middle School. I'm confused! In Kentucky, 6th grade is Middle School :)

Thank you so much for sharing your tips! EWian

Cute class! I wish that I had enough storage that I needed to label them with numbers. But I only have 19 students this year, so I guess I should not complain.
I do a similar thing with my lunch menu. Only last year I wised up. The cafeteria only serves about 45 different menu items. So, I typed those up kind of like your agenda. Now on Friday afternoons I look at the menu post them all & have an "A" "B" & "H" slot for them to place the numbers. I tried the magnets, but they kept popping off (I used hot glue). Anyway I now use the calendar squares. I laminated them, & they last & last.

growing up our cupboards WERE numbered... not visually, but my mom taught us to start at the top and count around the room, and so when she asked us to get something out of the ordinary she'd ask us for "the salad bowl from cupboard 3" worked awesome

All great ideas thanks for sharing.
