I started cleaning things out last summer. I had moved into a trailer and space was a premium! I went in over the summer and started throwing things out!

I only threw away things that I didn't think anyone else would
want. I went through my file cabinets and threw away any sheets that I had multiple copies of. I never remembered they were in there until it was too late anyway! I had two file cabinets to start with and after cleaning and tossing I was down to one file cabinet!

I also went through some of my professional books. I looked at them to decide if I would actually ever use them. I had
several that I had never used and didn’t think I ever would. I pulled these and sold them on EBay. I accepted Pay Pal and then used that money to buy whatever I wanted on EBay.

I keep all my teacher resource books on a book shelf by my desk. I have them organized by subject.

I keep all my professional books on a separate shelf, organized by subject.

For children book that I use, I keep these organized by units. I separate the books/ units with sentence strips so I can easily pull the books.

I have all my centers and games in labeled clasp envelopes and store these in a milk crate on tope of my storage cabinet.
Hope this helps!
Mandy
