OOppss I DID IT AGAIN!
WHAT???
Yes ..I DID!
What did I do??
I redid my classroom LIBRARY!
AGAIN!
If you read my last post on my
classroom library…
you know, I TRIED TO INCLUDE THEM!
https://1stgradefireworks.blogspot.com/2017/04/my-lovehate-relationship.html
My ATTEMPT was to allow my first graders to
share the love of my library
…by HELPING to sort, label, and bookcase the
classroom books.
In the “big” picture..
Good thought.
REALITY…
NO WAY!
They are seven!
Their idea of ORGANIZATION is
“if my shoes are tied, then I can go to recess!”
First…..Then…Last!
So…start over!
I need a “redo”… a “mulligan”…
A MAJOR DO-OVER!
So..Here I go.
FIRST,
HOW much shelf space do I really have for tubs?
How many tubs will “fit” on the shelves?
How many books will fit in each tub?
This will determine the number of labels for the tubs.
I ended up with
36… YES!
36 LABELS!
WOW!
So…NOW WHAT?
I labeled ALL of my tubs.
BIG LABELS!
Then..
I printed the SAME labels
BUT …smaller…POSTAGE STAMP SIZE!
I printed 9 SHEETS to a page!
WHAT?? WHY??
Because…then I have the EXACT same picture
on BOTH the TUB
and the BOOKS!
MATCH the book label to the TUB label.

These labels are adorable! Where did you get them?
