Calming the Year End Chaos Tips for Success



As I wind down the year and prepare for the next, it can seem pretty chaotic! At my school, we have a multi-page checklist that must be completed before we can leave for summer.  It has to be signed by specific administrators and staff as you turn in items.  
I call it the yearly scavenger hunt!

Combine that with completing grades, packing up the room, saying goodbye to students with meaningful activities and there's hardly a moment to consider next year!

For many years, I just packed it "all" up with the idea that I would "just find it" next year.  Or better yet, I think "I'll label it as I unpack it".  HA!  Not only do I never have the luck of finding anything easily, there's never enough pre-planning time to make lists either!


How I hope to fix my organizational disaster!


So this year, I am going to start by packing one (1) box each day during the last month of school - with a list of what's inside!  I plan to group resources together as I go.  This seems so much more "do-able" with just one box a day!  And I'm certain that will still leave me time to grade some papers and prepare some activities.


Packing one box a day with a list of its contents will calm my end of year chaos!


PLUS, on other pages of that legal pad I am going to use to make my packing lists, I am going to make idea lists for new ideas for next year.  Two birds...  :)

If you're like me, as you generate those ideas, you might start to formulate a plan where some new resources may be needed so a TpT gift card might just come in handy!
