Organizing Our Classroom Materials

To have our classrooms well organized is as important as promoting good habits and routines in class for our students and us. Remember that all of these will help our students to feel more secure and comfortable especially when learning a foreign language. No doubt that teachers need this organization to simplify our job.

Today, I would like to share with you some ways to organize the common materials for the whole classroom.

We can use old PVC pieces to create this stand or we can even buy a cheap clothes stand to hang our posters and charts.
