Organization tips from the pros.

Another idea I plan on stealing from my masterful co-teachers: make-up work folders.  After doing attendance the teachers or the students put "green folders" on the desks of the students who are absent.  Throughout the day missed work is placed in the green folders for the absent students.  It's waiting on their desk when they return!  Tip: pick up folders and other supplies at Staples during the summer for huge discounts!
