Show Us Your Clutter

I am excited to be participating in the Clutter-Free Classroom's linky party. 

Today is when we share the before pictures of our clutter so we can help hold each other accountable in our own classrooms. I did some serious decluttering already in my classroom before the students came back on Wednesday, but I know it is never a finished project. I shared some pictures the other day about the changes I made in my room already. You can find the current pictures of what my classroom looks like here. 

I also blogged about the new locking storage cabinet that I got right before the break. This is my only locking storage that I have in my entire classroom. :( 

I was in a pretty big rush to get these things in there. I am not happy with my literature circle book organization in there, but I am not really sure how to make it better. I have also now put our Literature and Grammar books on that bottom shelf. I will take a better picture on Monday and add it to this post. The cabinet is not horrible, but it could be way better! 

The other area of focus in my classroom is going to be my classroom library. 

I love my baskets, but am not in love with the labels. I am also in the process of getting another bookshelf to replace the large table that I have as you walk into my classroom. I just think that the shelves are too crowded at the very top and out of student reach. It has potential. 

Here is to creating a clutter-free classroom!
