I know I'm taking a BIG bite trying to start both things after the school year has already started but I'm just going to take baby steps and a lot of the things I'm already doing. Wish me luck! I WOULD LOVE ANY ADVICE, TIPS, HELP ETC. FROM ANY OF YOU THAT WOULD MAKE THIS TRANSITION GO SMOOTHLY!
I also made a great find on Amazon again! I love to organize all my games in expanded file folders. Smead has 3 sizes: 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch, and 2 inches. I like the 1 inch the best but around here I can only find them at one office supply store for $32 for a box of 50. But yesterday I found them at Amazon for $22 with no tax or shipping if you order $25 or more. Which of course, is not hard to do for me. I just buy one of the books on my wish list! I love saving money on my favorite teaching things. Here is a link to Amazon and a picture of a few of my files. The files are handy to store all the bags of card and game boards. I copy the directions and tape on the front and write how many copies of the game I have. I color code the units with colored dots.

Can I tell you how much I LOVE this organizational system? Nope! It's beyond words! As a matter of fact, after I went through my first box of expandable file jackets, I tried using the large, clasping envelopes. Well, after trying several of them, I went back to the expandable file jackets! I didn't like the way the pieces expanded the envelope to look like a pillow (very hard to file!). I didn't like the way I had to open the envelope to see what was inside (even though it was labeled, I couldn't remember). I didn't like how the clasps broke after opening and closing a few times!
