THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED!!! I've had such a hard time adjusting to teaching as a first year teacher and the paperwork just makes me angry. I left my desk on Friday a mess because I just couldn't deal with it anymore. Thank you for this video Bridget, it's going to save me come Monday!

Yay! I'm so glad that you found it helpful!

Loved this. Listened once then listened again so I could take notes! Planning to use all these ideas.

Love your idea of using GTD in the classroom! Will definitely keep it in mind when I get my own classroom.

I can't even begin to say how much this video helped. Your 43 folder system isn't something I can see myself doing but it did give me some ideas on systems that work for me. I love that you break down and plan out what you need to do daily, weekly, monthly it sounds so much less stressful than making a long to do list and only getting half done

Love these tips! This is my 5th year teaching, and haven't found my perfect organizational tips, can't wait to try the folder system!

Thank you soooo much for this video! All the tips were great. I especially liked the 43 Folder system. I gotta push myself through my tired moments to get the grading in, which is my biggest weakness right now. Thank you again!

I finished my first year of teaching/student-teaching and my desk was pilled high with papers.. THANK YOU for this video. I will try the 43 file system. I'm watching all your vids now. :P

I just wanted to say that as I await your new videos I re-watch your older videos. Everything you share is invaluable! Thank you for these fantastic tips. As a student teacher, Iʻm trying to gather as many ideas and tips as I can and you are one of my main resources. :)

+Wileen Hiinani Thank you so much for all the support. I had a very stressful week and needed to step back for a few days. I will upload videos back on the normal schedule (Monday and Thursday) this coming week!

Another fantastic video. I really love how you break it all down! So many great ideas that I hope to incorporate into my systems. Will definitely have to look into the 43 folder system. Thank you.

Great ideas. The 43 folder system seems like a good idea. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, I like how you presented that folder system. I think I need to try it!

Thanks for all the great tips! I am so glad I found your channel.

You rock this! Thank you for all the tips!

Fantastic! Practical and logical. Thank you for sharing.

So awesome and motivating! Thank you!

Love your videos and keep on making them! It's helpful and interesting to watch and learn :)

This video is me in a nutshell. I have teachers coming to me that have been teaching for years asking me to help them organize. And that makes me excited because I love organizing and planning! Year 5 teaching for me and every year I find something new to organize 😜

So I have been watching your vlogs since the summer. I haven't seen these older ones, but I am realizing you and I are a lot a like. Thank you for making me feel "normal". :) I found this post very helpful!

I really enjoyed this video! I already had a weekly planning structure for myself, but just made a monthly and daily. I loved the folder idea you shared and am going to try that in my bottom desk drawer which has been empty. I have the same Ikea inbox as you, but was currently using it to hold copies for the week. Keep making videos please!!

Thanks! Do you have a video showing how to use the 43 day folder?

I love this. Thanks so much!!!!!!

Are you still using this system? I will probably be watching this video A LOT to help me get organized. I am feeling like hot-mess-city right now :(

This is a stupendously helpful video! Thank you so much for sharing what you've learned. I love that you're telling us the idea/principle but also giving your own examples. I have to adapt a little bit so I am a traveling teacher, but I can definitely apply these principles. Really encouraging :)

+Rachel I am so happy that you found this useful! I really enjoy the system and it works for me!

Hi there. I have been teaching for nearly thirty years and I love your enthusiasm. ;) Everything you said was right on. Everyone needs their own ways of organizing and storing their paper flow. I still struggle with it, especially on those chaotic days when there are more interruptions than normal. I also wanted to let you know that the 43 file system has been around a very long time. Back when I was in the Army, in the early 1970's . they referred to it as a "tickler file," where you'd file letters, data or other things that you would need to "take action" on by a specific date. Just recently, I had a friend begin teaching kindergarten. I told her she just has to watch you to glean some great ideas. :) Keep up the great work! :)

Wow this was such a fantastic comment! I knew the system had been around a while but wasn't aware of exactly how long it had it been around. This was so fascinating!!! Thank you for spreading the word about my videos and I always feel like I am on the right track when veteran teachers leave sweet comments. Thank you again.... It means so much to me.

This was awesome. I've been teaching for 22 years and I still don't have all the wonderful systems you have in place. I would highly recommend that you change the title of your video as you cover way more than just managing the paper flow! Thanks!

+Crystal Young that is a great suggestion. Thank you!

This is a really helpful post. I was laughing as you checked off the list of systems---I've tried them all too. I'm considering this system. I really like the idea of 43 folders. I might try that one next...LOL!

I love watching your videos...I always feel inspired! I am going to create a schedule for myself and break it down by month/week/and day. I am very visual and I think this will help. Thank you for the REAL advice! :-) -Christine

+Kirsten Heller Yay! I seriously think teachers need a little motivation every now and then.

Thank you for all your tips! It looks completely different for me, being a 3rd grade teacher, team teaching and having mandated state assessments to prepare my kiddos for, but this video will definitely help me try to be more organized. I'm one of those that has their teacher desk full of papers, worksheets, you name it...somehow, it all works out! But boy is it stressful! Will definitely begin to try implementing the 43 folder system!

Thank you so so much

I am dying in disorganization. It took me 3 years aty last school to get it down... I had a para and more preps... And other grade level teachers to lean on. I am alone all day every day. I am trying to become a better more organized teacher. It is a struggle this year, I want to do the 43 folder system. I feel like I could do it after watching you.

I absolutley loooove your videos. P.S. love your outfit, perfection.

Can you do a video on what your folder system is set up like?

Hi there! Thanks for the video. You’re very inspiring. The teacher planner link took me to the IKEA drawers. Could you please send it again? Thank you!

Great motivational ideas!! It's so true..I get into the bad habit of doing other things at the end of the day and not getting totally prepared for the next day. Where do you keep the 43 folders? Thanks!

I keep them in a filing cabinet behind/below my small group table. (I don't use a teacher desk)

I would love to see ur filing system

Thank you! You're a great cheerleader! ;)

What is the 31 file system?

I like the business mentality to be more efficient!

I believe the movie is "How she Does it?" :) haha. I found your channel today and I can't stop watching! I just finished my first year as a teacher (3rd grade). Great video.

Hi!! I have watched this video a couple of times and I heard you mention green progress folders ... Can you explain those ? Thanks for all the great information 👍🏼

@BridgingLiteracy

Hey! Yes! Green folders are progress folders. On one side of the folder it has grades for the standards that we are teaching for that nine weeks and on the opposite side it has their behavior progress for the week. It also shows any important events coming up within that nine weeks. This is sent home every Friday.

Hi! I love your videos! I am going to school to be an Elementary teacher I have two more semesters left! I was just wondering how your student teaching went as well as your first year teaching? Also, how did you find your first job?(:

Thank you for the comment! My student teaching experience was very different than my first year. I will do a video on that this month because I can probably talk forever about it. I am also doing a video on getting a job tips. Thank you again for watching. Best of luck!

A woman after my own heart.....get 'er done!!! Thank you!! The 43 folder system is the bomb!! The link for your teacher planner goes to the ikea paper tray....wondering if the planner came from Michaels or Hobby Lobby?

Where do you keep the 43 folders? Have you done a video where you show your organizational system? I've seen the basket where you stack the papers and lessons for the sub. BTW that's so sweet that you leave a candy bar for them!
