Monday Made It - Organizing Sight Word Sticks and Center Materials

I love Monday Made It link ups.  Thank you Tara for hosting!

One of my goals, last year, was to start making more time for myself.  As a way to set aside some time, I subscribed to ISPY.  If you haven't heard of IPSY, it is a monthly beauty bag filled with samples and full sized items each month.  It is a fun surprise that I have really come to enjoy.  The beauty bag comes in these amazing pink bubble envelopes each month, which I don't feel right throwing away.  They have begun to pile up, so I knew I needed to do something with them.

The first thing that needed to happen was removing the sticky seal.  I was able to pull off the vast majority of it.  What was left I covered with velcro.  I love velcro!

After transforming them into pouches, I knew that they would be perfect for varying center materials.  I picked up 1/2 page sticker shipping labels and got to work.

My students use sight word sticks (click here for this set of stickers-they print on Avery 8167) for a ton of their centers.  These pouches help keep each set organized.  I color-coded the sets in order to make more than one.  Having 33 students requires quite a few sets of materials.

Quickly running a marker along the edge is a great way to separate sets.

This Monday Made It will allow using Reagan's Sight Word Stick Centers so much easier.  If you haven't checked out this pack, I highly recommend it.

 How do you keep your centers organized?
