You must be a pro at this by now. :) That is a good idea about the books in the boxes.

I have to move again this year, making it 14 moves after 14 years of teaching. I've learned to keep my books in cardboard file boxes or paper boxes. I just remove the lids and tip them on their sides on my shelves. Then they are already packed when I have to move them again.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885344282345530067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704209166001504321.post-66605187217375694592014-05-31T11:07:32.886-05:002014-05-31T11:07:32.886-05:00Thanks Barb!

I managed to get rid of a lot of paperwork but still have an awful lot of books and resources I don't really use but couldn't bear to part with! Number 4: Labelling every box is a must. Where there were boxes with a bit of an assortment of books and files, a packing list inside the box has really helped me save time searching this year. As I tidy for the end of the year I will definitely be copying ready for the new year.

Then over the summer I will put them in folders on the computer with the rest of the unit it goes with. Then when I plan I will be able to see what I already have - you know instead of finding it in the back of the cabinet three weeks later!
