Moving from 4th grade to the technology position, I realized it was going to take some thought about how I was going to organize my lessons, seating charts, etc. I decided to make binders for each grade level, and keep index card boxes for each grade level with their students' login information (because students forget their login information often).
I got colorful dividers with pockets to divide classes. At the front, I have the seating chart for each class in a plastic cover. Behind each seating chart are any allergy/medical information, along with any contact information for each student.
I got index card boxes to hold each student's login information. Since I'm only 10 months at our year-round school, I track out about once a month or so for a week, and the teachers then go to the computer lab with their class. I have these index cards for the teachers and students to use when they forget their login numbers.
Within each index box, each class is rubber banded together, and is written in the color of whatever track they're on. Each student has their teacher's name on the back in case their card gets separated from their class.
Although I write my lesson plans on the computer each week, I record what we actually accomplished in my lesson plan book at the end of each class time. I also keep track of their behavior letter at the bottom. Once a week, I write each class' letter on their chart. I will have to share my behavior log next time, because it doesn't look like it's on my memory stick I have at home.
I hope this helps with some organization ideas! :)
