Today's tip was shared with me during a really, really, REALLY long and boring training over the summer. We use Interactive Notebooks, which I love, but with 867,462 things in the student desks, locating the correct notebook can take forever. Each student color coded their notebooks to match the color codes I have for the subject area.
We used the edge of a crayon to color the edges of the paper on each composition notebook. I gave them 1 minute to color each notebook and now they can easily spot which of the 5 journals in their desk is the correct one without having to pull out all of them (and everything else that's hiding in there...scary.)
What's your time saver tip?
Oh my goodness! So simple and brilliant! Must do this next year.
