Organization for First Grade MFW

I used home school logo to help unify all our materials.

Teacher Binder

I keep this binder in a large basket, along with student sheets and teacher's manual.

Inside the Binder

UPDATE 3/2014: Since writing this we have stopped using "Drawing with Children" and use "Draw, Write, Now" Books for art.  
We also have stopped supplementing with First Language Lessons and just use the reading program in Teacher's Manual and phonic readers for Language Arts. First Language Lesson is good L.A. curriculum, but my boys were not reading yet so we needed to focus on phonics and the Manual and Workbook were plenty.
