CLASSROOM ORGANISATION TIPS THAT EVERY TEACHER NEEDS
1) STICK PENS TO WHITEBOARD SO YOU DON’T LOSE THEM
Can you never find a whiteboard pen when you need one? Use this clever organization tip! Fix your pens to the board with a VELCRO® Brand Stick On Square – peel it off when you need it and stick it back on when you’re finished so it doesn’t get lost!
2) MOUNT STATIONERY POTS ON THE WALL
A brilliant way to create extra classroom storage is to hang pencil pots and other useful items on the wall with VELCRO® Brand Stick On Tape!
3) DE-CLUTTER YOUR DESK
Classroom organization starts with your desk – it’s the hub of the classroom and if it’s tidy, it sets a good example for your pupils. Keep items on your desk to a minimum and clear your desk drawers of unnecessary clutter. And create extra storage space for messy extension leads by sticking them underneath the desk with VELCRO® Brand Heavy Duty Tape!
4) WRAP UP MESSY CABLES
Not only are messy cables around the classroom unsightly, they’re also a tripping hazard for the children. Keep loose cables under control with VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Ties and your classroom will look instantly tidier!
5) STICK POSTERS ON THE WALL WITH VELCRO® BRAND COINS
If you’re putting up new classroom displays this year, sticking them on the wall with VELCRO® Brand Stick On Coins is one of the best ways to hang them neatly, without damaging the walls. Stick a coin in the corner of each poster and simply peel it off the wall when it’s time to replace it!
6) MAKE A CLASSROOM NOISE VOLUME INDICATOR
Classroom organization doesn’t just mean organizing your stuff… It also extends to staying in control of the class! Keep noise levels under control with this classroom noise volume indicator that you can stick on the wall with VELCRO® Brand Heavy Duty Tape. It’s a great way to let your pupils know how loud they’re allowed talk during different activities!
