Our PTA ROCKS!

We are very fortunate at my school that our PTA provides our Encore classes (PE, Art, Music, Library) with funds to purchase materials.  Check out some of the classroom management items I purchased.... (BTW - I am grinning ear to ear with all of this organization)

Jackets, hoodies, sweaters, button up shirts, etc, etc, etc....they are a thorn in my side!  My students are cold in their classroom, but get hot while playing in the gym.  In the past, they have just thrown them off to the side and I end up with a large collection of lost and found clothing.  Check this out :-)
So.....I bought a bunch of these hooks that make up the gym's "coat closet".
I hung 8 of them in the area outside of the gym.
Just a little reminder....believe it or not - I have VERY few left in the gym!  YAY!

Our school has a large laminator.  It takes most of my planning time for it to heat up...urgh!  Most of the things I laminate are smaller or individual sheets of paper (see the sign above).  I'm in love!!!! 
How sleek is this??
It is fast, quiet, and comes out cool....still smiling :-)
My PURPLE row was super excited to get a new star!!

Back to my hook problem...I'm addicted.  I like to have pennies (jerseys) for my rows.  It also helps with the color coordination.  Look at these HUGE hooks.
5 pennies fit on the hook easily. (See, I'm excited!)
Each row has a star and a hook of pennies.
(Thank goodness the chill out chair is empty!)

Thanks again to our awesome PTA.  I appreciate your support!!
