In my classroom, I binderize everything—math worksheets, language arts worksheets, arts and crafts ideas, science ideas. I think you get the picture. (Is binderize even a real word?) Anyway, using ideas from Magical Holiday Home, My Merry Christmas, and Organized Christmas, I decided to become more organized for the holidays. So, I just finished my Christmas Notebook; well, maybe not finished, but at least put together. I bought a white two-inch binder that has a place to insert a cover and a spine label. I also bought two eight-tab packages of Avery labels—the kind that have the oval tabs that look like bright Christmas tree lights. I finally decided on the following sections for my Christmas Notebook:
- Calendar Pages
- Notebook Ideas
- Holiday Grand Plan
- Rudolph Days
- Christmas Countdown
- Menus and Grocery Lists
- Tried and True Recipes
- New Recipes
- Decorations Inventory
- Gift Closet and Receipts
- Arts and Crafts
- Books
- Movies and CDs
- Websites
- Christmas Cards
- Miscellaneous
My next job is to read through all the pages I have copied from websites, forums, and blogs and put my ideas and plans in the correct sections of my notebook. So far, I feel I have accomplished a lot; but I realize that the journey is never over—it’s only just begun!! TTFN
