Optimum Organization {July 20th}...2nd to Last One

Before I begin, I'd like to let you know that next week will be our last Optimum Organization Party :)  We sure enjoyed the ideas this summer!  Several teachers are beginning to head back and it's time to wind down the summer for us, too.  So, make sure you link up next week for sure...it will be the last one!

If you'd like to link up with us, grab the button above and share either an organizational idea or an organizational find.  You can join the party on Kristen's blog or mine...it's all the same party so come on over!

Now on to my idea for the week.

Have you seen these floating around Pinterest forever?  They are from Kinder Keri and they were recently featured on BuzzFeed as one of the 25 Clever Classroom Ideas.  I agree!!

I've loved them for a long time and have been on the hunt for them all summer and guess what?  My next door teaching buddy {Holla, Caroline!} even texted me this week about them.  So, I KNEW it was time to find them for sure!  Thanks, Caroline ;)

I looked, and looked all around my itty-bitty town.  No luck.  Boo!  But, that's where my good friend, Google comes in to rescue me!  Yay, Google!  I found them on Ebay!  Yippee! They are on their way to me soon.  {And in my colors....score!}

Now, you may be asking how is this an organizational tip.  Well, guess what?  No more passing out dry erase boards.  That's going to save time and aggravation.  So, less organizing needed.  Which, in a sense, means more organization.

Not satisfied?

Well, here's one more tip.

I'm scaling down the eraser, too.  I found these at the Dollar Store:

And...they are in my colors!  Yippee again!  I'll keep them in a very small container.  I'll be getting rid of my large squares of microfiber cloths.   Smaller container= more organized.

So, what are your tips/ideas for this week?  Link up below:
