We started as a K-1 combination, but then went to straight K on the 4th week of school. So, my room was equipped with desks and chairs, rather than the traditional tables and chairs. My students did okay with these, though despite trying to teach them that everything goes into the "yellow folder" to go home, the desk became the second "black hole" where things were stuffed.
Now I'm moving to a traditional kindergarten room. It has tables. I have supply caddies, and a pencil box for each student's pencils and crayons. But I'm at a loss about what to have the students do with their library book and their go-home folder ("Yellow folder") every day.
What do you all do? My colleague uses these fancy shelving units at the ends of each table, but those are totally out of my budget. I need something inexpensive -- something that looks like a million dollars on a dollar store budget.

Hi I am a first year teacher in Georgia and I am very interested to move to Nevada. Is it hard to find a teaching job in Nevada?

Does anyone have performance standard rubrics for Kindergarten in B.C. ?
I'm actually looking for the words to "First Grade, First Grade" to the tune of New York, New York. However, if you have some additional graduation songs I would greatly appreciate them too.
Thank you for your input,
KimMO
