Showing My Clutter

So embarassing.

One of my greatest challenges in life is weeding through clutter. It is the strangest thing: I can organize the heck out of small details, but when things get too large or out of control, I freeze.

Lucky for me, I've been following the Clutter-Free Classroom blog and decided to join in on the Clutter-Free Classroom Project. First up, my entry for the Show Your Clutter Linky Party.

So, here's a shameful look at a few pictures of the current state of my classroom. I'll update with more after I get back in there today.

This is my "I don't know what to do with this" pile. So, it sits behind my guided reading table.

My desk...always a breeding ground for disorganization!
More desk...sigh.


Bookshelf #1 definitely did not look like this in the beginning of the year...but at least I have a plan for this!

  1. Books, books, books... seems to be the theme - that and a lot of paper...hehe. At least you only have few areas of weekness. I am sure within the first few weeks of this challenge, it will look so much better - I am wondering what others will suggest with the books. Last year, I sorted mine by genre, for teaching Writer's Workshop:) Best of luck!

  2. I love that thought about a desk being a "breeding ground" for disorganization. So true. Good luck!

  4. It's not to bad. At least you have it narrowed down. It will be organized in no time. Just stick to it.
