Before I get into spelling storage, I just want to shout from the rooftops that I WON something!!! I never win anything! I went to a tricky-tray once, and my friend won six things… SIX things. And I left with nothing a gift certificate to the movies, but my friend won SIX things. I’m not bitter at all… 🙂
Well tonight, during my usual nightly-blog-stalking, I stumbled upon Kristin’s latest post at A Teeny Tiny Teacher and saw my name and almost passed out… I’m now the proud owner of a $10 gift certificate to Amazon!! Well, I was the proud owner, because it took me all of five minutes to spend it, lol.
I was inspired to organize my printed photos after reading this post from IHeart Organizing {love this blog}. So with Kristin’s help, I put the Iris photo storage thingy into my cart and I’ll be organizing pictures within the next few days!
Now onto the point of this post: spelling storage ideas! I don’t know how you display spelling words in your classroom, but I have a little pocket chart on the board where mine are displayed all week:
Ooooh, I love this idea. We use Reading Street so we have 8 Amazing Words, 8 High Frequency Words, 4-5 Vocabulary Words, and 15 Spelling Words every week for 30 weeks. When you multiply that it gives you some crazy big number of word cards. I can't wait to go grab some of these. I think I saw them at the Dollar Section in Target! Thanks so much for your great idea – why didn't I think of that?!
I am brand new to blogging, so please follow me!

Three things:
1. I was in a winner in the giveaway too! 🙂
2. I adore Iheartorganizing as well. Such a beautiful and calming blog.
3. I also use Treasures, I was in third for four years and this is my first year in second and you have a great filing system for your words! I did something similar for our vocabulary cards!

Genius! I saw some cute larger accordion folders at the Target dollar spot {obviously} but didn't get them because I wasn't sure what to use them for, but now you've inspired me to organize my monthly themed words! Thanks!

Woohoo, glad I could help! I just bought two more myself! 🙂
Wow! What a fabulous idea! I am also an organisation freak, I can't wait to find some and recreate for my classroom! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Wow! That is a ton of words for the year! I love how you organized them. Mine are in a crate by week, but I would have to get out the cute wand before I let anyone see it. 🙂
Happy New Year!

We use Treasures too! Will be starting this when we Re back from Spring Break on Monday!!!
I do something similar. What really made a big difference for me… putting the unit number on the back of each card! That way when I take the word wall down, I can have the kiddos sort them for me into piles by unit.
