I hear you on the purge/...Good luck with moving up! I hear you on the purge/donate/keep battle. I just retired and I had so much material to go through. Luckily I was able to pass on many things to new teachers that are starting out. I did keep way too much stuff, but I wasn't quite ready to let it go yet. I will wait a bit longer and do another purge. I just might need some of it for my grandchildren, right?<br />It is funny how we used to rely on on the ready made posters, letters, and other materials before TPT. I have found that many of these are like new, but I didn't use them. <br />I am glad to hear that you saved books for your students, especially boys. They need books that they will enjoy. Oh did I mention that I can't stop buying books. I think I stocked several classroom libraries during the last few weeks. <br />As for your classroom organization, a colleague of mine had her students come into a near empty room and decide what they needed and where it should go. It seemed to work well for her and it gave them ownership. I wonder if something like that could work with grade 6/7.<br />You have so many great ideas, I am feeling withdrawal. I can hardly wait to see your pictures.<br /><br />Charlene/Diamond MomCharlenehttp://www.diamondmomstreasury.weebly.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
