Getting Organized/Room Set Up

I wanted to do a post about how we get organized with our Mother Goose Time curriculum and our room set up.

We don’t have a ton of room since we live in an apartment, but I’ve tried to organize everything as best as I can for now.

Here’s my bookcase where I store most of our curriculum stuffs for now. I’m still in the process of getting better organized but this works for now :)

At the very top, I usually have our Mother Goose Time curriculum box (didn’t have it sitting up there when I took this pic) as well as a small plastic tub that I keep our manipulatives and other things we’ve accumulated that we like to use over and over again.

On the first shelf, I keep our CD player there when we’re not using it as well as some other misc school stuffs like a bag of blocks, monthly circle time CD’s, etc.

On the second shelf I keep any storybooks we’ve received, the Dance ‘N Beats workbooks, and some binders I’ve put together with our school stuff. I slip the monthly newsletter in the front pocket of the binder on the side with the theme web side showing so I can see which month the binder is for.

 

Here’s the inside of this month’s binder. I put any of our little workbooks or name tags or anything else that we will probably use again in the pockets. Then I used page protectors to put each of the daily posters inside and behind them, I like to put something that we made from the day that isn’t too bulky.

We do most of our preschool time in our living room. It’s not huge, but it is big enough and works for us.

Next to our fireplace/tv is where we keep most of our toys, books, and other things out of the way.

Here’s our circle time display board. I ordered this tri-fold foam board from Amazon and it works wonderfully for us.

These are some pics I took when I was setting it up for the month but I have since ordered a laminator and have laminated some pieces that needed a bit more reinforcement from Miss M’s wrath. She still wants to rip everything up.

That’s pretty much it. It’s not the greatest, but it works for us for now. I’ll have to do a new post when I get everything a little bit more organized!
