Organizing Tips -- Resources
Ceiling Hangings
If you hang children's work from your room lights or the metal supports around acoustical tiles a tip to avoid climbing on a table or chair to change the work. Use a paper clip with a string hanging from it. Place a spring type clothespin at the end of the string. When you need to change the children's work just reach up and up clip the old displays from the clothespin and clip up the new!
Clean Hands
Tune: three blind mice

Tune: "Shoo-Fly"
Use baby wipes on Friday to have the children clean the top of their desk. The children will be amazed at how dirty the desk is.
