If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to a clip board holder, I have used a 10 dollar dish drying rack from Walmart for 5 years. It works great! I have a big one for clip boards and a smaller one for white boards. I even use the little utensil holder for pencils and dry erase markers, so everything they need is right there together.
Michelle, you are a God-send! I have close to 275 students as a Spanish K-8 teacher and organization is essential to survival. Thank you for helping me get better organized with these great tips. I watched your other video 10 Best Classroom Purchases of All Time and I bought several of those items, as well. Keep 'em coming!
One thing I like about the Steriliate drawers is that you can take to top off, stack them and click them together so they don’t slide around. Great video! Love the advice.
Michelle, I have taught for 39 yrs before I retired and I had all of these and more in my classroom. So glad to know that I am not the only one that was so crazy about using these items. Yes, I brought several of them back home for organizing too. Now we need to work these into our houses for organizing our panties, bathroom, laundry, and home offices.
Just a note, Michelle…. On the black teacher toolbox you showed, the “Highlighters” label is missing an “h”. I know that would bother you. 😁 I have loved your videos for years and, must admit, I wish you were still teaching. I use most of these items you showed and agree that they are essential!
Hi there... yeah, that's been brought to my attention before but honestly relabeling that's one drawer isn't a priority right now. Thanks for watching!
@@PocketfulofPrimary Good for you! I’m glad you have been able to let some of your perfectionism go. I’ve been watching some of your older videos lately, and you really ran yourself pretty ragged early on. I felt for you! I’m a veteran teacher of over 20 years and I still have to stop myself from constantly “recreating the wheel” with lessons. That’s how my perfectionism comes out! 😁
Thanks, Michelle. I am from Venezuela and I love all your tips because we can organize the materials in my office, in the classroom, and on my computer. I am an online teacher.
This is one of my FAVORITE VIDEOS ever!! I LOVE ❤️ organizing everything! I use a lot of these products. Thank you 😊 for sharing your ideas 💡 with all of us.
I have everything you mentioned except the clipboard organizer and the sandwich containers. I agree all are absolutely essential. I selfishly miss your in-the-classroom teaching videos but I’m glad you’re doing what feels right to you. 💕
I use almost all of these supplies and absolutely love them! My favorites are the snack and sandwich containers. I have found that a pack of markers fits nicely in the sandwich containers. I also like that the clasps are very easy for the students to snap. Thanks for an awesome video!
I absolutely agree with ALL of these! Considering I’ve been teaching for 13 years now, I have accumulated a lot of these but I will definitely be updating my reading area with better book bins next year. Those chapter book bins are AMAZING!
I have been teaching for 23 years!! Where were you then? Amazing ideas and organizational tips. Thanks so much for sharing your excellent ideas. So helpful and useful!!
I found a steal on book bins! My Walmart had all school supply stuff on clearance recently. I went in for groceries and left with 10 white and clear bins for 25 cents each!!!!
Thank you for these great tips. I’m not a teacher, I’m a home schooling mom (in the UK), but I love your tips for organising educational materials for my childerbeasts (I have a herd of five, so I do have to have things in bulk).
I used the large Sterilite clip boxes to store my book sets for lit circles. Six novels/chapter books plus any related papers fit very nicely and they stack easily.
I loved this video!! I would also be interested in your next 10 choices in organizational tools especially since you struggled to only pick 10. Thanks Michelle!!
I think our brain works the same in this area! I would have chosen the exact same items. I also use the sandwich bins to store puzzles, numbering each puzzle first. BTW- super glue the little bar in the bin. It works! Thanks for the great video.
Yesss! They are great for puzzles (so long as they puzzles aren't too big). Also, why did I never think of super gluing the bars on the magazine bins?! LOL! Genius!
I love these ideas and I am gradually incorporating these ideas, as I have watched you for several years. I always love your positivity and great personality. Thanks first always having the answers I need. I started my year as a long-term sub, and am getting to the point I can gradually get things first what is now MY classroom. I told mom that the one thing I would wish for was to have you and Bridget come work with me for some sessions, to help me find my best work flow and organization. I teach STEM in a middle school in NC, and believe me, I inherited all kinds if good and oh not so good thibfs in closets, drawers, etc. Your jaws would drop at some of the things I have had to get rid of....luckily was able to get by with no hazmat suit, but it was close....lol!! It would also be so cool if you and B could do a podcast about "inheriting" a classroom, and the funny and not so funny things folks had to deal with as they cleaned....it could be comedy GOLD!!!!
Thank you so much for watching and for your support Bonnie! 🖤 It is greatly appreciated and I'm so happy to hear that you've been able to use my ideas! I can completely understand how the hazmat suit would be hard to part with LOL! I'll definitely add that to our list! Thanks so much!
I just want to say thanks for all of your videos. I am currently working at a Church doing 6th - 12th grade Youth Ministry. But lately your vides have inspired me to try to become a 4th - 5th grade Teacher. I am looking to apply to a Post Baccalaureate teacher Certification Program!
I love all your organization! I’ve used almost everything you mentioned in your video! Clipboard organizers are by far the best! So easy! I wanted to know if you’d be open to share some ideas for small group mini lessons (reading/math)? I feel that it’s my biggest struggle to stay organized with planning, prepping, etc. Thanks in advance ♥️ you’re awesome!
Sterlite stuff is my favorite! I'm a huge fan of the clip boxes. In addition to my edtech coach position, I also do communications for my church and shoot lots of videos. Those medium bins are great for camera and mic supplies to store and organize easily.
I'm with you! Sterilite bins in general are such high quality... definitely my favorite! Yesss... they are perfect for camera and audio supplies! I'm so happy you love them too! Thanks for watching!
You're the best! I am frustrated that the "teacher toolbox" changed though and only has 6 larger drawers now instead of 8. Thank you for all the work you put into these helpful videos as always!
Love these organizational favorites! My personal favorites are the large Sterlite drawers you used at each table group! They are so versatile. I use them at home for home organization! I need to get my hand on snack containers since I have so many decks of cards!
Michelle, have you ever considered being an instructional coach? My district has people who literally are just there to be resources for other teachers.
I don’t know how I missed this video and am just watching now! I have everything except for #9 & #10! Thinking about getting the rainbow drawers for this year because like you said, the ones on wheels are frustrating me! Not only do they fall often, but this year, I had students taking off the round handles/pulls and losing them! 😏
Hi Michelle love your videos 🥰 I want to ask you something could you prepare a video on class room management What should we do if students eat in class inspite of reminders What should we do when students back answer in class Regards to high school Thanks Love from India
I use most of the ideas, even in my preschool classroom. I think, however, I will be changing up some of the containers or upsizing when we go back to normal class size-we have 10 students (COVID) now and are slowly working back up to 17.
Yes... you definitely have to adapt as things change including class size! I'm happy you're able to make the organizational systems work for you! Thanks for watching Kelley!
Hello dear teacher, I join you from Algeria. Thank you for sharing these awesome materials which inspired me to be creative as always. Unfortunately i can't find the Supply Caddies for my teams since I use colours to devide them. I enjoyed watching your video.
My biggest issue is knowing what to put in containers and how many to buy. I get a vision and then put it together, it just never seems to work out or takes to long for me to categorize everything. I wish I knew how to do that. Great ideas though.
As a room parent for several years, I've seen multiple classrooms. Your organization is the best, bar none. However, you spelled highlighters incorrectly on your Teacher's Toolbox. FYI, I am OCD about organization in my home. In my basement I have three small Sterilite bins with five drawers each. They're labeled AAA batteries, AA batteries, other batteries, carabiners, clamps, etc. Two large three-drawer Sterilite bins have painter's stuff, glues, etc. I got several large drawer bins from the dump for the garage for beach toys, my husband's toys, etc. I am in love with that brand!
Thank you so much for narrowing down your favorites!!! Perfect timing as Spring Cleaning is in full effect! Just wondering on the tall black “magazine storage” box - do you think that the annoying stick pieces that keeps coming off can be used to hold file folders with little side wire hangers?? Usually goes inside a filing cabinet or side of desk drawer. That’s what came to mind when I was watching lol.
I need to get to some better stocked Big Lots...ours never seems to have this sort of thing. I do like Ollie's, as I can sometimes luck onto things at great prices, but as they are more of an overstock place, I have to keep going back and hoping....but it is like a really fun scavenger hunt...
Love love love!! I got the teacher toolbox idea from you years ago! You showed the one with the math manipulatives, what do you store in them (I couldn't see the bottom ones clearly lol)? It's an idea I haven't thought of for small group, love it!
Hi Michelle, thanks a lot for all your help and your work. It's amazing! I love your STERILITE CLIP BOXES labels, and I was checking your TPT store but couldn't find them. Would you mind to tell me where they are? I hope you are able to reply to this comment soon 😉
I love your toolbox labels but do not have PowerPoint due to our district moving everything over to the Google suite. Would you consider making an option with Google Slides?
The rainbow drawers are one of my favorites for sure! Thankfully I got mine on sale half price. Unfortunately, they are now “everyday price” labeled so no more sale prices or coupons. I’m not sure if that is also the case in the States too? Great list Michelle!
Hey Michelle! I have been loving your videos and I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work. I am just making a nice suggestion if you could make more day in the life or personal vlogs. I would absolutely love if you could reply to my comment. Love your new background it is amazing!
+Pocketful of Primary Michelle , Organization goes a long way regardless if you are a teacher or not . Anyhow , is there a chance of you doing a video on the classroom management strategies that you have used while you were teaching in the future ? Anyhow , keep on doing what you do . - Dwight
You are totally right Dwight! I'll add that to my list for possible future videos. Have a great rest of your weekend and thanks for watching as always!
Very practical and inspiring for a classroom. I just wonder if your students never complain about the colors of the materials they get (art, maths or organization itens, including the caddies on the tables). Mine sometimes nearly kill each other for colors. Once for a group of girls (in order to avoid that) I gave them all pink scissors, but one had a lighter shade. Imagine... 😲 Would you make a video about these situations? Thanks!
It can be a problem-but I tell my students, “You get what you get and don’t throw a fit.” Once I start the saying the students finish. I will say this before an activity to head off the melt downs.
Great question Val! With my students, I would always say "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit" 🤷♀️ It's all about setting the expectations and not making a big deal out of the colors. You could always make it a reward that students earn to pick their color!
@@PocketfulofPrimary thanks girls, I will try that. I am not from US, did no know this expression. Good idea also, beeing a prize (especially for good behavior), to pick the color. 😊
Hello, can you do a video on how you conduct small groups? I am going to be a new teacher next year and I have no idea how to do this because my mentor doesn't really do it.
What do you think about having to purchase these with your own money? Should these be provided or are they something so individualized that teachers should purchase them themselves?
Hi Michelle!! I use all of these things too they are amazing! I'm going to replace some things with your kinks and suggestions actually. One question...do you have any suggestions or advice for organizing games for recess...board games like guess who and battle ship that my kids love to play?
I love your videos and have learned so much from you! Thank you. BTW: do you happen to have a template or remember the paper size/dimensions of the pencil label for the Sterlite 3-drawer organizer, that you created?
Hi Regina! It obviously depends on the size of the flashcards but you could try photo boxes like these! amzn.to/3sXg8FQ You can also find them individually at Michaels!
I run Pocketful of Primary full time! I'm not sure if I will go back into the classroom... right now I'm enjoying what I'm doing (focusing on supporting teachers).

Yes!
Awesome!!! Thank you!!
The Sterilite paper drawers can be added to!! Just take off the top and click them together!! I felt real smart when I figured that out!
omg i was just this old learning this!

I have been teaching for 23 years!! Where were you then? Amazing ideas and organizational tips. Thanks so much for sharing your excellent ideas. So helpful and useful!!
The “crayon box” can also be found for about a dollar at Michaels. I’ve gotten a few there and they have different colors.

great videos my school barely buys pencils and erasers i do not think teachers can afford that
Actually, the sterilite drawers, if you take the top off one set, you can snap another set directly on top and it will be one unit
So helpful thank you! I am really pleased I found your channel.
I have a teacher toolbox and it is a must! I have one
I’m redoing my classroom this year and I have a lot to do…. I’m excited bc I love it! It’s a lot of work but the end result is awesome
Thanks for sharing your great toolbox of ideas!!

Definitely use a lot of these in my classroom 5th and 6th.
Yesss! Thanks for watching Victoria! 🥰🖤
The paper drawers you can pop the top off of the drawers off with like a butter knife and it will connect to the bottom of another stack of three
Yes! That's true! Thanks for adding that in there!
I use most of the ideas, even in my preschool classroom. I think, however, I will be changing up some of the containers or upsizing when we go back to normal class size-we have 10 students (COVID) now and are slowly working back up to 17.
Yes... you definitely have to adapt as things change including class size! I'm happy you're able to make the organizational systems work for you! Thanks for watching Kelley!

Hi Michelle!! I use all of these things too they are amazing! I'm going to replace some things with your kinks and suggestions actually.
One question...do you have any suggestions or advice for organizing games for recess...board games like guess who and battle ship that my kids love to play?
I need the labels information please

Hey! Loved the video. Quick question, are you going back into the classroom next school year?
I love your videos and have learned so much from you! Thank you. BTW: do you happen to have a template or remember the paper size/dimensions of the pencil label for the Sterlite 3-drawer organizer, that you created?
Library Media Specialist Michelle. Come to the Dork side…..
I would like to see how you actually use these items in a real classroom.
Changed schools this year and no longer have my own classroom. I have a room at my house filled with sooo much stuff I cannot take them to school.
LOVE! Any suggestions for plastic cases for flashcards? Mine are all rubber-banded currently and it's not working for me.
Hi Regina! It obviously depends on the size of the flashcards but you could try photo boxes like these!

You can also find them individually at Michaels!
I am going back to the classroom after a two year "break". I see more microphones being used in the classroom. Any tips?
what do you for a job now? Also will you every become a teacher in Texas?
I run Pocketful of Primary full time! I'm not sure if I will go back into the classroom... right now I'm enjoying what I'm doing (focusing on supporting teachers).
