To make sure I start my morning smoothly, I've learned my desk and table must be organized before I leave the night before. How do you make sure your mornings start smoothly?
Hi Sarah, That is an organized table! I've gotten much better at organizing my desk before I leave. It helps that my husband works from home now, so I don't have to rush to pick the kids up at child care. I also go through my plans and double check to be sure everything is ready for the next day. If it isn't, I get it ready or put it right on my keyboard so I can grab and prep first thing. Jan Laughter and Consistency
I agree--It's such a relief to walk into an organized classroom space! Not to mention being able to leave work and not have to think about it! One Lucky Teacher
I totally agree about having your table organized before leaving! It is so nice to come in and have your things neatly organized in the morning! I use tubs from Lakeshore to keep materials in for each day of the week and I make sure I have everything in those tubs that I need for the next day before leaving school.
The baskets are a fabulous idea! I do a similar thing with stackable trays. On the Thursday or Friday before I try to make sure I have everything I need for the entire week. I agree that it definitely makes mornings run more smoothly.

Leaving anything that needs to be prepped on your keyboard sounds like a great idea! I'm going to use that!

It does make it easier once you've left. I'm a worrier so I always feel like something isn't done. This has helped!
