I have a brilliant student teacher this fall. She sees situations with fresh eyes and breathes new life into our classroom. Some well meaning person created these massive containers of teaching materials that we feel compelled to store for the school. The crates are huge and fit nowhere. Last year, I found an unused spot in the school and secretly stashed them away. (It's a lot to store for just one lesson in one subject!) Over the summer, they found their way back to my room!
I mentioned to her how having them behind my desk was driving me crazy yesterday. She looked around the room and offered to store them upright behind a cabinet, out of sight. Why didn't I think of that?
Sometimes having someone with you who is objective can make all the difference. Ask a spouse, older child, or a friend to help you organize difficult areas. You'll be surprised how easy it seems when another pair of eyes help.
