What do you remember about your classrooms as a child?\u00a0 Were your teachers organized or was their room complete chaos?\u00a0 I firmly believe that teachers set the tone for student organization by the way they keep their classroom and themselves organized.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean that all teachers have to be paperless or have a classroom that looks like it was designed by a label maker, but there must be some semblance of order in your classroom to help students feel at ease and prepared to be successful in their academic endeavors.<\/p>\n

Organized Teacher, Happy Classroom<\/a><\/em> by Melanie Unger is a great read for teachers and administrators that desire to help their students be as successful as possible by creating a positive classroom environment.\u00a0 I appreciate the practical tips that Unger shares throughout this book about classroom suggestions, how to organize your desk, and how to model organization for your students.\u00a0 She also gives some milestones for how to keep your classroom organized throughout the year, how to do a year end inventory, and how to be the best steward of the resources available to you.\u00a0 This is a great read for a new teacher or someone that has been teaching for many years.\u00a0 I believe everyone can learn something from this book.
