Are you obsessed with task cards like I am? I just love how independent my students can work while still getting lots of Spanish input. However, trying to keep them all organized can be such a nightmare! Especially if you’re trying to keep them from one year to the next (yay for laminating).
Over the years I’ve utilized 4 different methods for organizing and storing my cards. Some might be easier for you than others depending on if you have your own classroom or are a traveling teacher. Read on to find out 4 simple ways to stay organized and sane.
1. Index card box
You can pick these up anywhere that has school supplies. I found several at the Dollar Tree in all different colors.
2. Plastic sandwich baggies.
These are so easy and take up almost no space. For an upgrade, Duct tape the end on the opposite side from where it closes. Then hole punch through the duct tape. This will allow you to include them in a binder.
3. Envelops
Write on the outside to keep track of what lesson they’re for.
4. Sheet protectors & binder
This was my last resort because I would worry that they would slip out of the top. Use scotch tape or paper clips to prevent that from happening.
I hope these have given you some good ideas for keeping track of your task cards. Do you have any more ideas? Comment below and let me know your best tricks.
