THE DESK APPRENTICE

So last year about this time Staples had a sale on the DA I scooped one up, as we were preparing to move it was great I went through all my stuff and packed the DA full of just the things that we needed to school for a couple of months... but since then it's been lonely and empty and instead of things being stored in it, it became a place to set things... here it is empty

on the back side there are the same "pockets" as this side and all four corners have pencil cups

here's looking down on it... it's huge... and it spins  and as we are going through moving the school room I have dug it out again and decided I'm using it for good... it makes a lot of since instead of tearing the house apart looking for our FIAR story or a math book or dry erase marker or through piles thinking I know I printed off some worksheets around here somewhere they will all have a home now!  AND thanks to an idea from a FIAR mom (sorry I forgot who) I will be using the label maker to label the "pockets"

   on the left there are Trevor's HOP books the manual and the book he's working on, behind that is his math book and in the pencil cup are his flashcards... the right has two Valentine idea books that need to be pursued

Here's Ry's side there is a book on Baden Powell, his grammar notebook, math book, spelling list is tucked on there somewhere... the cup for the dry erase markers... the side that is empty will have the preschool workbooks for Tyler and Caly

in the middle there is the FIAR manual were using right now and the FIAR story, my planner, the sliding cup thing is empty I'm not sure that I'll put anything in there but It's nice to keep my books up and the files together... the files 1 for all lapbook stuff done or not I may separate them but for now I know their in there, 1 for preschool worksheets that are a must because Caly constantly askes to do school and wants what the boys have, 1 for anything I print for Riley and another for anything I print for Trevor, there's a couple extra in the back just in case I think of soemthing! And there you have it probably more than you wanted to know lol!

I love your snowman meatoaf. It looks so cute. Your organizing DA looks great. I make up all of our FIAR books in large zip lock bags with note cards of the activities I want to use. When possible I find the materials and put them in the bag. Example~ Harold and the purple crayon has purple cranyons in the bag.

The DA looks like a great idea. Now, if only I could find the room to even bring one into my house!

I finally purchases a desk apprentice! I loaded it yesterday and I'm working on getting rid of the rest of the clutter on my desk before I do a full unveiling.

I love that organizer thing, but what does DA stand for?
