Optimum Organization

This Tuesday, I'm linking up with my blog-spiration...Ladybug Teacher Files for her Optimum Organization Link-Up. I'm absolutely obsessed with her designs! She is so talented!

I never thought finding classroom bins would be so easy! I had been searching the "regular" teacher websites for book bins for my classroom and all I could find were book bins that were sold in sets of six for about $20. That is way, way too much for this teacher. This past week, I stumbled into The Dollar Tree and found that they have stocked up for back to school....already. Mixed emotions. Anyway, they had these bins for...you guessed it...$1 each. I picked up 25. The cashier looked confused.

I drove home a very happy, and inspired, girl. There is just something I LOVE about the idea of organizing. When I got home, I knew I wanted to create my labels. I didn't really want the ones that I saw online with all of the cutesy clipart because I didn't think my middle grades students would like them. I decided to make these instead.

 My classroom colors are blue, yellow, black and white, so these will work out just perfectly for me! I decided to make primary colors and chevron colors and put them in my TPT store. If you like them, you can check them out HERE.
