Sometimes the smallest things work. Case in point -- I'm always searching everywhere for where I last left my scores, trying to find them to study or write lesson plans. Two days ago, I stuck them in the back of my HS Orchestra binder (which has state standards, unit plans, lesson plans, roster, seating chart, schedule, homework, etc.) I'm not quite sure
why I put them there. But, since I did, I always have had them for class and I've always had them with me when I wanted to work on a lesson plan. It's such a "no-brainer," but what a relief to finally have a home for them after teaching for three full years.
