Thank you so much for this awesome video! I'm embarrassed to say I've been teaching for over 20 years and am not nearly as organized as you are! I have my boxes organized by months and by themes but don't have lists of the contents and definitely not the QR codes (I'm a bit tech phobic)! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! You are truly amazing! I've been watching your videos everyday this summer. Thank you!🤩
Love the QR code idea! An even easier way to create one is to click the "share" icon within the Chrome address bar on the right and it has a QR code generator option.
Love your organizational tips! The Google Doc with the QR code is the game changer I'm looking for. That'll make grabbing what I need so much easier than looking through each box, as sometimes I need an item that's stored in a different box. I love your labels for the boxes you have created. Can the size be adjusted to fit a shoe box, or will they only fit the boxes shown? Are they editable? I can hardly wait to show you my after pics once I implement your helpful tips. 🤗🥰
Not sure which one you're referring to. If it's where I store my manipulatives and art supplies, those are built-in cabinets in my classroom. Let me know if that's not what you're referring to.
Just curious. I’ve always stored all my theme or unit materials, including books, together in a large tote. What are your benefits to separating everything the way you have? I’m asking because I’ve had to temporarily rent a storage unit for the large totes and some grant materials I don’t currently have space for in my home and I’m wondering if I separate things into smaller containers it may be easier to make the room to store them.
I do store my thematic materials in the plastic tubs I showed in the beginning. But my tubs just kept getting bigger and bigger, and heavier and heavier, and some books can be used for multiple units. That's when I decided to separate the books from the tubs and it's much more manageable for me now. I no longer have to lift super heavy tubs and the smaller tubs are much easier to store. Do whatever works for you.

Great tip!
Very nice.
OMG Vanessa, thank you for everything you share. You are the best.
You are so welcome!
Omg I’m looking for this and didn’t even have to put it in the search bar! RUclips knows me so well!
Glad you found it helpful!

Always interesting to see how others store all the things 😂
Thanks for watching!
Good morning from California! Where did you get the white storage unit that stored many of your materials

@@PreKPagesvideos yes that is what I’m referring to. No wonder I cannot find it online. It’s great for centers that have limited storage
Do you have a link for the storage boxes or a bar code number? I really like the clean look of the boxes. I'd like to order some.
Sure, here you go: amzn.to/3raAApM
Thank you so much for these tips. I need to get organized. Where did you get your shelves that's in the beginning of the video?
Which ones? If you give me the time stamp of where they appear in the video I can let you know.
At the .55 mark in the garage.
@@tarayarbrough9751 The shelves in the garage are from either Lowe's or Home Depot.
Ok. Thank you!
