Small Group Materials Organization Made Easy

Do you find yourself drowning in a mess of materials?  Looking for the books you used yesterday or the pointers your young readers need?  I have a lot of students coming in and out my door each day.  I kept part of their work in baskets on a shelf and books in another place.  It just wasn't working for me.  I needed a new system!  

I had wanted one of the carts for some time.  This year I found it at Sam's Club for so much cheaper than anywhere else.  It has been a time AND sanity saver!

Each drawer is for a specific reading small group, K-2.  I also have a drawer for my Tier II and one for Tier III RTI groups.  My materials slip right in and I know where everything is.  It all stays together, in one place, all organized and neat.  In this kindergarten drawer, I have our Sight Word Pockets (you can read about these here), plus the other materials needed by the students.

I can just take the drawer out of the cart and take it with me to the table.  The drawers hold quite a bit.  This one holds the sight word pockets, a set of readers, Reading Notebooks, pencils, pointers, etc...  

At 5:00 eastern time, we will be having a fun time on Instagram!  Come join us!  You can find me at conversationsinliteracy.  See you then!
