Mini-Offices are a great learning and organization tool all in one. They
contain information for students to use in Writing, Math, Reading, or
Science. The most popular are writing and math. However, I have found that I
like to have one for reading and science/social studies as well. Below you
will find a plethora of information on how to create mini-offices as well as
my tips and tricks from experiences in the past. These are marked by the
(IME=In my experience) Enjoy!
I’m Ready! How do I get started?
Decide on the materials you’re going to use.
Folders? File Folders? Labels? Cut and Paste? Once you make that decision it
will be much easier. I tried file folders and you have to tape them
together. If you decide for this method, I suggest that you laminate them.
If not most will fall apart before the holidays. (IME) Because of this, I
have gone to the 3-prong color-coded folder. (see me regarding color
coding). This way I have the study aids handy, but also a place to hold
other items. I tried the cut and paste and found that most of the aids fell
off before the end of the year. I’m a label freak (have you seen my room?).
So, I took the image and put it on to labels. Viola! The folder/label method
has worked best for me, you know what works best for you.
