Supplies can defiantly be used in my new room and I've been making lots of new labels for them! Here is a preview of all the stuff I've been doing this week! I have 6 of these smaller 5 drawer units, they have office supplies and craft supplies in them, the kids don't access them so I didn't need pictures on the labels, I used some of my blank labels from VistaPrint to give them a make over! (photo above = before)
I've done the same thing with reading, one drawer for each component of reading (Big 5) My Center activities are stored in plastic shoe boxes inside cardboard cubbies (got this idea from the sisters Daily 5/Cafe) I have a set for indpendant reading activities, and one for math activities.

http://writestepsglce.com/default.asp we were all Very Excited!! It is a wonderful program that coordinates writing through the elementary grades, so what we teach in 1st builds off what they learned in K, what we teach in 2nd builds off what we teach in 1st, you get the picture. I love the program, it was designed to follow the Michigan Grade Level content Standards, but is being revised to address the Common Core! We've been using the program for two years and the improvement in student writing is amazing, of course we still throw in our favorite activities from other sources but this provides the continuity we were looking for! Head on over and check it out! There are videos for all the lessons - you can view some samples.
(you can see them here http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/seo/p|2534374302106068~~.jsp?cs=PDP_1_LC856) but I just couldn't afford them, so I decided to make my own!
I use stickers to label each lid, and the inside of each can so students will know which two go together. I hot glued a strip of ribbon around each can! They turned out so cute!! This is what they will look like when the kids use them, and sort the little objects into each one, I plan to choose two or three at a time, poor their contents into a bucket and have them sort them back into their proper cans!
Blank labels to use on different games or activities, as well as labeling storage drawers,they look so much better than the plain white labels I was using. Blank business cards (they come in packs of 250 each so I have tons) to use for labeling or name tags, flash cards, and activities.
Brochures that explain who I am and what my class is about, I love to give them out at open house, they look so professional! (It was a requirement in the elementary to create a brochure, these were perfect) Flyers! This year since I am teaching High School rather than a brochure I created a flyer all about me and my expectations for each class. The second one is an information sheet that has space for the students birthday, IEP due date, and parent contact information with a space for notes at the bottom. I use these in my conferring binder as the divider page for each student in the back where I collect their specific data- just attach a sticky tab with their names and three whole punch, they held up very well all year long! (they come in packs of 25 so that may not be enough if you have a large class, you may have to order 2 sets)
Note cards, Welcome back to school, parent's night, and thank yous! Labels, the larger ones go home with important IEP paper work and have check boxes that let the parents know if they need to sign the form and return it or keep for their records. The smaller ones are for the word work cans we use in the writing center that contain the individual words each student is working on.
