Ziploc products in classroomAs you probably know, in addition to being a mom and blogger, I am also a first-grade teacher.  July is the time I start preparing to go back to school.  During this time, I get my classroom organized and ready for a new group of kiddos to arrive in August. To get myself and my classroom organized I turn to Ziploc® brand products.

Ziploc productsZiploc® brand products are a great tool for teachers. From crackers to crayons you can use them for just about anything. As a mom, I also use them for my kids when preparing for back to school. I like their backpacks and supplies to be organized so that their teachers don’t have a hard time finding anything. It also helps busy moms with morning lunch preparation.

  21.  To keep unfinished art projects together to finish on another day.
  22.  To water the classroom plants.
  23.  To put worksheets in so kids can do them with a dry erase marker and wipe them off for another student to do later.

 

Ziploc® brand Storage Bags with Easy Open Tabs® are my preferred bags for my baggie book program at school. These bags are the same quality expected from the Ziploc® brand, but with an added tab, making them easy to grip and easy to open.  Baggie books are leveled readers that are “just right” books for each student. They pick out 3-4 books on Monday for reading at home and return them on Friday. This way they can practice reading books on their level at home with their family members.

I use Ziploc® brand Storage Bags because they are durable and they are easy for my little guys to open and close. I also make baggie books for my own kids when we travel or for independent reading while mommy is working during the summer.

How to Make Baggie Books:

First you get a Ziploc® brand Storage Bag in the gallon size.

Next, choose a label for your baggie.  I used a cute little sticker that I put packaging tape over to make sure it doesn’t peel off.  You could just use a permanent marker and write the name on the bag but I love a little extra touch.

Finally, find “just right” books for your kiddos and fill them up!  These are so easy to throw into the back seat of the car when on a road trip or to place inside of a book bag to ensure the books are not getting torn up.

I stocked up on Ziploc® brand Storage Bags and Ziploc® brand Containers on my weekly Kroger shopping trip.  You can find them in the food storage aisle.
