Before break, I was hard at work re-labeling everything in my classroom that deserves a label!  I wasn’t happy with my previous labels, so I made a trip to Lakeshore to find a new solution.  I decided to buy a set of name plates and name tags, and I laminated them right away:
They are from the Dots on Black collection from Creative Teaching Press,
in case you want to pick up some for your classroom!!!
I needed two different sizes because I have big and little bins.  Since I laminated the name tags, I had to cut them out around the label part to get rid of the white edges:
Then I whipped out my Sharpies and got to work writing:
Of course, I couldn’t just write in black, I had to add more color!!
Once I wrote all my labels out, I started putting them everywhere!  I used tape on the back of the name plates and some of the name tags, and for other name tags, I easily peeled the label from its backing and just stuck it on!  This is the area behind my desk:
Above the drawers are my favorite read alouds and my teacher resource books.
That yellow bin needs a label!!  Just noticed 🙂
And a close-up of the drawers:
Is anyone surprised that I have three drawers of craft supplies…
and more in the closet??
{And maybe a TON more supplies in my basement at home…?}
Other drawers say treasure chest, happy birthday, extra folders, paper…
I also keep these back here:
This next shelf is propped in front of my desk, and holds some of my math manipulatives:
And a close-up:
Some other label pictures…
My students drop their Spelling notebooks in this bin each day:
My extra supplies are in labeled bins like these:
And I keep papers for the week in these bins:
I could go on and on with all my labels, but I’ll spare you!!
I hope that I gave you some ideas that you can use in your classroom! 🙂
