So I found out in May that after 13 years of being a
traveling teacher I finally get one building.
So excited about that. However
the teacher who retired left 27+ years of teaching in the storage closet + my
13 years = 40 years of stuff. I had
about 10 tubs in the storage closet and all of my other stuff was in my room
and at my other school so I had an awful mess in my classroom. <o:p></o:p></div>

So I got to spend 40+ hours organizing my classroom and the
storage closet. On this blog post I want
to share with you how I organized a major amount of stuff as well as what your
room will look like as you organize it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What to do:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 1- Before we start I want you to sit down and grab a
box of tissues. Just get the crying out
of the way before you start. Yes, every
time I have organized a classroom or have been relocated I have cried at least
three times during the organization of my room.
This time I cried five times. I
am not proud, but think you should know you aren’t the only one to break down
in your room. You are allowed to break
down and have a moment as you get your room ready. I also had difficulty the last two weeks
sleeping and eating. It’s called stress
and everyone deals with it differently.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 2- Go buy a LOT of Sterilite tubs and drawers. Enough to fill up your storage area. I had 33 tubs with props and items in my
other classroom and bought about 50 tubs total.
In the storage closet I started with the tubs I had at my other
school. I removed everything off the top
shelf and moved the shelf using a ladder.
I moved the shelf on top of the shelf that was even to it. Each of my shelves was in two pieces and very
heavy. Next, move all the metal
brackets, and lock the brackets. Next
slide the shelves over onto the brackets that have been moved and move the brackets
and lock on the other side. Next fill up
the top shelf. I was able to put 11 tubs
across on the top shelf and stack them three tubs high. Next remove all the items on the next
shelf. I had to work around the brackets
that hung down under the shelf so I could only fit nine tubs across on all the
other shelves. Keep working your way
down.<o:p></o:p></div>

Step 3- Lay out the tubs and organize like items together. Open all the boxes and get the props in
something you can see. Put items like
costumes and hats on the top shelf where you don’t need to get them every
day. Items like my four tubs of puppets
and holiday items are on the bottom three shelves. <o:p></o:p></div>

Step 4- Throw away the stuff you think you would never use. Yes that includes the technology that is
older than you, and the garbage. I found
boxes of cotton balls for bunny tails and pony tails made from braided panty
hose. I had to throw some cute felt hats
because they were stored with some foliage that made them stink. I was able to throw away 8 large lunch room
trash cans of stuff. If it doesn’t serve
a purpose or give you joy see if a new teacher might want it. All the teachers in my building put their
unwanted items in the lounge at the beginning and end of the school year. I
have found some great items and I have given some great items.<o:p></o:p></div>

Step 5- Save the file cabinet and all of your paperwork for
later. After dealing with all the other
items and props I couldn’t bring myself (without crying at least five more
time) to deal with the paperwork and file cabinets. <o:p></o:p></div>

Step 6- Sometimes you take a step back to take a step
forward. So at this point I have most of
the storage closet organized. Now it is
time to tackle the classroom. Think
about how you want your classroom to run.
I recommend reading my previous blog post about organizing your
room. Start organizing your student
areas. Have areas for centers,
instruments, student supplies, rewards, music textbooks, stereo system, etc.<o:p></o:p></div>

Step 7- Cry again.
Yes you are dealing with 100 degree heat because the air is off, you are
hungry and tired, and if you touch one more dead thing (beetle, roach, spider)
you are going to lose it!!!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 8- Ask, ask, ask!!!
If you could have whatever you wanted in your classroom what would you
need or want? Now ask your principal or
custodians if there are any of these items in storage at your school or in
another district building. I shared with
my principal why I thought it was important to get some bookshelves and how I
planned to use them. I actually got my
principal and asked him to come down to my room to see what I was talking
about. I had a good start on my closet
and had everything in tubs. He was very
impressed with the closet and offered to help cover the cost of the storage
tubs. Yeah! He was also able to get me a cabinet with a
door. Other people to ask are the
PTA/PTO for supplies, Walmart for donations, or write a grant on
DonorsChoose.org. I have received over
$30,000 in classroom instruments, supplies, and technology just on DonorsChoose.
One more idea is to send out an email to
your school offering to trade items.
Hey, it works. <o:p></o:p></div>

Step 9- Don’t expect everything to be perfect right
now. Make a plan and give yourselves
deadlines to meet. I am not 100% happy
with my classroom. Ideally, I want two
black shelves on each side of mega shelf to make my back wall look asymmetrical. It is driving me crazy, but it’s something I
can live with until I can write a grant for the shelves. I plan on getting my grant submitted this
month. So my plan after I get the
shelves is to move all my center supplies (currently in the cabinet with the
door) to the storage closet, move all the K-8 magazines to my room on the
shelves. I also need to go through the
paperwork in my file boxes, rolling cart, and file cabinets. I also need to put my books and binders
together. Right now they are in two
areas. I also have some duplicates of
some books and program binders because I have always traveled. I also plan on making spine covers for all of
my 3 ring binders so I can find what I need quickly. <o:p></o:p></div>

Step 10- Remember that you only have to do this major
organization project once. Then you can
enjoy your room, find all your supplies, and have a great functioning
space. It will not be perfect and you
might have to change your plan as you begin organizing. It’s okay.
Your room is your home away from home and I hope this post helps you as
you get your room ready for a new year.</div>

<br />
I don't even know where to start this post. I just want to say I had a really rough year at school this past year, and was unable to keep up with my blog. Article in the works "How To Deal With Difficult People." (yes one of those years) I do want to tell you I have been super busy getting lots of grants funded, making new items for my Teachers Pay Teachers store, working with my first student teacher, and coping with my Pinterest addition. My sister-in-law addicted me to this two years ago. I am a little out of control!!! You can follow my Pinterest boards at <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/CNSwedberg/">http://www.pinterest.com/CNSwedberg/</a>. I hope you follow me like the other 9,600 + followers!!!Yup! Totally out of control.<br />
<br />
You can follow my TPT store at: <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Made-For-Music-Teachers">http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Made-For-Music-Teachers</a>. I am going to be using this board to share with you again soon. I have my creative energy back. One thing I know I will be changing is I will offer free files for a short period of time and then post them to my TPT store. So follow my blog and my facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Made-For-Music-Teachers/117256355022160">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Made-For-Music-Teachers/117256355022160</a> to get sale updates and freebies. <br />

This next year is my 10th year teaching and my 10th classroom. While some moves have been by choice, other moves have been due to construction or re-configuration. My plan is to share what I do when I set up a room and to post lots of pictures and examples for you. Hopefully it will help someone get ready for a new year. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95-TegaFoB8GrNFG-uZ2IVgMbso8cATeTVOavYHRFfUstzEeLUl8P88fG_FhJu23eaO8IBmXcMvAWjAe3VKmsKtcCRet7VD0I-HwiXN0xP37cY8O-Yy0JhyQnUQnr6o0oqDU9pkC7m_yB/s1600/IMG_3311.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95-TegaFoB8GrNFG-uZ2IVgMbso8cATeTVOavYHRFfUstzEeLUl8P88fG_FhJu23eaO8IBmXcMvAWjAe3VKmsKtcCRet7VD0I-HwiXN0xP37cY8O-Yy0JhyQnUQnr6o0oqDU9pkC7m_yB/s400/IMG_3311.JPG" width="400" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhk8v7QS3Xnv3NBPvfnS66CwK7VqP0bVsgzPF2u9d3ZCLlGj8HdVuCb1nvbqPKWMuAWaYpBFp6Mq_XvemH8dh_odcw9bvsxL5hMVQeKEY_6rcj1a9aupLPv5GBNz6Ld8T5ssePrIbWnHp8/s1600/IMG_3312.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhk8v7QS3Xnv3NBPvfnS66CwK7VqP0bVsgzPF2u9d3ZCLlGj8HdVuCb1nvbqPKWMuAWaYpBFp6Mq_XvemH8dh_odcw9bvsxL5hMVQeKEY_6rcj1a9aupLPv5GBNz6Ld8T5ssePrIbWnHp8/s400/IMG_3312.JPG" width="400" /></a> <br />
Tip #1: Use fabric to cover bulletin boards. Measure your board and determine the size you will need. Fabric is sold 45” or 60” wide and can be cut each 1/8 yard (1/8, ¼, 3/8, ½, 5/8 etc.). Try to find a fabric with only a few colors or it will look too busy. If you use a patterned fabric try using solid colored letters, or switch it, solid back under patterned letters. Wal-Mart sells solid colored flat sheets for $2 if you want to give solid colors a try. I always make a word wall in my room. Not only does this look impressive to administration, but it helps the students learning to speak the language of music. This year, I will have to do this on my cabinets since none of my bulletin boards are large enough.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC_iSaohnPfwj81Zsns7JZPFLK4FqnxN0OwuI_vDkebxCZFt3HNOzvUFOmrc3UjGGx1t1WyX_ui2xs42KHUy5psG4hSBDy-qlZnX1cjkkjIsL5RIHjggGU8asn8yUAKCQVT52aR4f1fNEh/s1600/Music+Room+002.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC_iSaohnPfwj81Zsns7JZPFLK4FqnxN0OwuI_vDkebxCZFt3HNOzvUFOmrc3UjGGx1t1WyX_ui2xs42KHUy5psG4hSBDy-qlZnX1cjkkjIsL5RIHjggGU8asn8yUAKCQVT52aR4f1fNEh/s400/Music+Room+002.jpg" width="400" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiMeXlKCw8vc1UVdYOTcw2hI6r7pNZb2UBhMivzonVPagm2wYcnJo_oYAYy1sFLk9APdi5zs8JTrwBElJc18MuW52DWEuU3yENpiTogtgExfpmr2RHDQOPGcg_JLLJuIVcck2sCmt4bPeI/s1600/IMG_3314.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiMeXlKCw8vc1UVdYOTcw2hI6r7pNZb2UBhMivzonVPagm2wYcnJo_oYAYy1sFLk9APdi5zs8JTrwBElJc18MuW52DWEuU3yENpiTogtgExfpmr2RHDQOPGcg_JLLJuIVcck2sCmt4bPeI/s400/IMG_3314.JPG" width="400" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilC6aF0EyLPCrSnwcKvEhpCHNSJe29yJ8G96Ncy1C5C0xOZ73Gzv1GFUh26m3VMsk80ELllWioM6yjFk0gutW2nqzX0e8gU68SQEGmuNBVtMB2B-R1UZQbOC0Wz1v-mTyEQzqS0lpQEkcI/s1600/Music+Room+015.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilC6aF0EyLPCrSnwcKvEhpCHNSJe29yJ8G96Ncy1C5C0xOZ73Gzv1GFUh26m3VMsk80ELllWioM6yjFk0gutW2nqzX0e8gU68SQEGmuNBVtMB2B-R1UZQbOC0Wz1v-mTyEQzqS0lpQEkcI/s400/Music+Room+015.jpg" width="400" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0oRFdeATxqpBwJh2A1FVUWcU4uFSXL6XPWpborkN7aDZbx8_KijWLxi3MAIuzlPvC_3LIDPIXQR_lG0Yr9DRXa1qUpkzOtD2r_ZslzS3Eg5uXC3_0HktAK76Hkp5F9DK7y9VRYTXDfie0/s1600/IMG_3307.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0oRFdeATxqpBwJh2A1FVUWcU4uFSXL6XPWpborkN7aDZbx8_KijWLxi3MAIuzlPvC_3LIDPIXQR_lG0Yr9DRXa1qUpkzOtD2r_ZslzS3Eg5uXC3_0HktAK76Hkp5F9DK7y9VRYTXDfie0/s400/IMG_3307.JPG" width="400" /></a> <br />
Tip #2: Make shelving look like a part of the room by painting it all one solid color if they don’t already match. I did this with my shelving and now call it “mega-shelf.” There are many useful sites on-line that have furniture painting tips. Painting tips vary for the surface you are painting and the type of paint you use. Paint is an inexpensive way to change the look of the room. You can see the difference between the large cabinet in the middle painted before and now painted all black. <br />

Tip #4: Add something just for the kids. Put elements in the room just for your students. I like to have a special chair in the room that I call my “Star Singer” chair. I pick one student to sit in the chair each week. My older kids get to be the DJ on Friday and play all the music from my iPod. They love this and work really hard to be the star singer. I also saw Mrs. King use a chair as a Need a Rest/time out chair complete with music rests. Thinking about adding this for next year, but depends on the space I have and if I can find another chair to paint. I actually paid a friend to paint my chair for me after I had my second child.<br />

Tip #5: Keep frequently used items close to the door or at the front of the room. Music textbooks, your bag of tricks, toys, reward stickers and stamps, pencils, clip boards, work tubs (crayons, pencils, glue sticks, scissors), CD’s, schedule, and anything else you need easy access to. I also always keep my piano so I can face the kids and my stereo has always been on a table at the front of the room.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2h0xyLe4f4eeSWDvWkOX6sg9I6mzg5NQu2fvP4N8DNJZolMjhTFWMpMLZnVvpAm1RP34VeUvVzfxzRSsEty5qJzvkLJyrSUQ5PTxDjy3F36Vs1kZd8C1_NcvHTssOqY1zoeZUTqteRad/s1600/100_0830.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2h0xyLe4f4eeSWDvWkOX6sg9I6mzg5NQu2fvP4N8DNJZolMjhTFWMpMLZnVvpAm1RP34VeUvVzfxzRSsEty5qJzvkLJyrSUQ5PTxDjy3F36Vs1kZd8C1_NcvHTssOqY1zoeZUTqteRad/s320/100_0830.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaJe50Zs_77n_AxQ5YgB6QvdTpHe3qJ9EeVMRAy68fkP7gY1UOINV_J1zhVPFSmTbi2MtV-Xi6ldjd_9n3zuzG7EkmIIVwMRcji187rgeHf65kQ-pfN3HvP3nGPdoqUU31JDBa0C_ebett/s1600/100_0829.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaJe50Zs_77n_AxQ5YgB6QvdTpHe3qJ9EeVMRAy68fkP7gY1UOINV_J1zhVPFSmTbi2MtV-Xi6ldjd_9n3zuzG7EkmIIVwMRcji187rgeHf65kQ-pfN3HvP3nGPdoqUU31JDBa0C_ebett/s320/100_0829.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEhjDXHzQZcnPjlilkTzSA2uXiafpn0fRLLa9WEMtZacfd8gaeHWt1xpT06OpRe_zBosJQOtmgqb8fw-7ZSLdPdsG-upxqBlb9baFwTS2Z4-J66hrDF5HE-QxNYD5uwCh2Xqd0yzPPM4RL/s1600/IMG_3302.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEhjDXHzQZcnPjlilkTzSA2uXiafpn0fRLLa9WEMtZacfd8gaeHWt1xpT06OpRe_zBosJQOtmgqb8fw-7ZSLdPdsG-upxqBlb9baFwTS2Z4-J66hrDF5HE-QxNYD5uwCh2Xqd0yzPPM4RL/s400/IMG_3302.JPG" width="400" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp7cCZeO034pcCKPV8avsXQNnat_6UUsbOm3bDip7KIzIG8EbczN9JByHhe6VU-2bMuSVRpvOn8hwD5XhLEPaHwUNT6GsR-G6F9TIrrUf7vWm-kjjWe6UyhbDrGpRPl2wvStOiDgJq4n_O/s1600/Music+Room+001.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp7cCZeO034pcCKPV8avsXQNnat_6UUsbOm3bDip7KIzIG8EbczN9JByHhe6VU-2bMuSVRpvOn8hwD5XhLEPaHwUNT6GsR-G6F9TIrrUf7vWm-kjjWe6UyhbDrGpRPl2wvStOiDgJq4n_O/s320/Music+Room+001.jpg" width="240" /></a> </div>

Tip #6: Turn trash into treasure. I have found many items on the street corner that I have rescued for my classroom. One summer I even got two dining room tables that were painted and turned into my center table. Paint the table a solid color first. Then use acrylic paints to make a design on the table that fits your theme or something musical. Go over everything with a few coats of poly-acrylic varnish. For fun I used dazzling diamonds glitter from Stampin’ Up on the first coat of poly-acrylic to give it a sparkle. The second and third coat helped protect the paint and evened out the finish. Make sure to give everything plenty of time to dry in between coats.</div>

Tip #7: Add some fun elements. Composer busts, kites, gumball machine, stuffed animals, puppets, colorful rug, fun fabric chair pockets for textbooks, large colored buckets from Wal-Mart or Target for boomwhackers and parachutes, fabric or paint chip garland, etc. Note to reader: Each stuffed animal in my classroom has been won at Worlds of Fun or bought at garage sales. My animals are also named. My big blue gorilla is Mr. Bobo. I frequently tell the kids that Mr. Bobo is listening to them sing, and sometimes Mr, Bobo is sleeping and should not be disturbed when they come in my room. My caterpillar is Mr. Caterpillar. I also let my students cuddle with my animals during center time. I also have Mickey and Minnie mouse dolls that students can put on their chair or carpet spot if they have to use the restroom so I know they are gone, and they have also been a Kagan partner for those students who struggle to work with others. </div>

Tip #8: Use a label making machine to get everything labeled and organized. I have all of my literature books organized on two cabinets from the trash pile that I rescued. They are organized by the themes I use. I can just take out the books and plan my lessons. I also have instruments labeled and in fabric bins ready to use at all times. This has also been very helpful for subs to find materials in the room. I also labeled the CD player from my last room so subs would know which CD deck worked and that only the remote control could turn down the volume even if you turned it down. (Yes it was annoying) </div>

Tip #9: Label all of your personal supplies and keep an inventory for insurance. After moving again I am reminded how important it is to keep items labeled. Over the last three years I have received over $20,000 in classroom grants. Many of these new supplies had to be labeled when I moved. </div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Tip #10: If you don’t like it…change it. My last room I moved five times before it finally worked for me. I had “mega-shelf” on three different walls. My computers could only go in one spot because that was the only wall they were wired on, but no one told me that before I moved them. My piano and center table moved five times. Instrument shelves moved three times. I had to take out the center table and replace the table with bean-bags. You don’t have to be stuck with a classroom you don’t like. Measure everything and move things around until you can live with it. Classrooms should be functional and sometime we don’t know how something will work until we try it. Give each move a week unless you really can’t stand it. </div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For my first post I am sharing a music composing lesson I have put together. It is called Music Composing with Pizza Fractions. There is a cover for the pizza box, 18 pages of music notes and rests, and a worksheet the students can fill out when they are finished composing. I will be sharing all of my files publically through google docs. No sign-in is required. If you already have a free membership to google docs please send a request to join my music teachers user group. All members of the group can share files. I can be contacted at <a href="mailto:cswedberg@usd266.com"><span style="color: yellow;">cswedberg@usd266.com</span></a>. The link for you to print the PDF is <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByLP40wrRT-ST1ZxU1FvYlpTSU92aC1xRDFDTlNOZw"><span style="color: yellow;">https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByLP40wrRT-ST1ZxU1FvYlpTSU92aC1xRDFDTlNOZw</span></a><span style="color: yellow;">. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Like most of the activities I will be posting on this site the graphics are from </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lettering Delights</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. I have used the <span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">graphic set Pizza Man and the font LD Brownnose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a school teacher membership and may share things I create for free with you as PDF’s thanks to Lettering Delights. The music notes and rests on the pizzas were created by using the font set MusiSync made into pictures using Word Art. Hope you enjoy this "Made for Music Teachers" activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Thanks for visiting my blog, Christina </span></span><span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US;"></span></span></div>
