Cute Clips = Copy Organization

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for new strategies for organization...

Recently, I found these cute clips at Lakeshore.  They have really helped me keep my papers organized!  It's hard to tell with the glare, but the collection includes:  Reading, Language, Math, Science, Social Studies and Homework.


I run off the papers in the office and clip them with the "subject specific" clips.  This way, when I get back to my classroom, there is limited thinking necessary when I need to put the papers in the right bin, box or pile.

They are labeled on the front, back and sides, so no matter which way you look at them, they still show the label.


Sometimes it is the littlest thing that makes my heart happy!

    Hi Teacher74:

    I bought the clips at Lakeshore Learning Materials. They have stores as well as online shopping. I will check to find out the item number because I think they're pretty cool! Check back tomorrow?

    Hi Teacher74:

    I called LakeshoreLearning... They said the clips are not in the catalog, but you can call any Lakeshore store--and order them. The item number is STN 2300.

    Happy day!

    Who said that there are no do-overs . . . let's try that again.

    Thanks for the tip on Vitamin L; I love the lyrics and would LOVE to see your class perform it. Stop back by tomorrow to see me teach a crowd favorite snappy little song that I wrote a few years back!

    Hi LIMS:
    When I go to Lakeshore, I make the same promise to myself that I make when I go to CostCo. You are getting one item--You CANNOT spend $100!
    I could have spent LOTS of $$$ in Lakeshore!

    So glad you stopped by. Have a great day!
