Getting Organised For The School Year

Are you heading back into a classroom? Or maybe you are going into a classroom for the first time? Or this isn’t your first round, but you’d still love some amazing tips on getting organised for the school year.

While these tips are definitely more suited to a classroom, they can definitely help you in getting organised for the school year, even if you teach your kids from home.

Storage is something that I love, and you will know this if you follow me over on Instagram. Why? Because it just means that everything has its own place and it’s organised.

I have had my own for YEARS. But I found this storage file at Officeworks and my goodness it’s just like my vintage 😅 one! When do I use it? All those admin-y type things. I love that you can hang it and it takes up zero space!

Food and drink organisation. I found this trolley from Kmart and have used my Scandi Animals labels. When do I use it? For drink bottles and munch & crunch, that way these things are out of the kids bags straight away, and we can get straight into the drinking or crunching when needed!

I just mentioned the Scandi Animals labels above, but did you know that they are all resizeable (not just the Scandi Animals one, but ALL of the ones that I have available?!) They can be used for book boxes, tubs, shelves, tables, you get the idea. Anywhere and everywhere! I use this for overall organisation.

Feeling like you could use a planner for your wall? Then might I suggest this one from Daily Orders? Use the code SOMMER10 for a discount! I use mine to plan out the entire term personally and within the classroom. That way nothing is ever missed! A must-have!

Zivia Designs 2023 Diary

And I am definitely still a paper diary planner too! Which is why I love mine from Zivia Designs. I love them so much that this years is my FIFTH planner from them! They are honestly the best and if there’s any left then use the code STAYCLASSY and treat yourself to a more organised and shit together year 😏

And finally, did you catch this reel? I shared some of my absolute faves in here. From Zip Wallets, Storage tubs a concertina wallet, stone storage and more! They are perfect for bits and pieces like story stones, but also other loose parts, cards that go with my printables (so perfect once you’ve made them up!)

Are you feeling organised in your classroom? I hope you are more so after this post!
