=How-To Organize Your Locker =

When you start to organize your locker this is what I do. The locker process starts at the store. When you see an item called a shelf buy one. They can help you organize our locker for every class.

One shelf should be for math. Put your entire math stuff in your binder, a calculator, whatever you need. Another shelf should have period three and related arts materials. An example is a reading binder, independent reading book and related arts folder. On one shelf you should put your first and second period materials. For example, my social studies binder as well as my math binder, calculator and math book. This will make it easy to grab and go.

Finally you have to remember you do have a shelf on the top of your locker for extra space. So you could have only two shelves instead of three. You have three hangers in the back and on both sides of the locker for a coat, a backpack maybe a gym bag when your in gym.

For the whole day you only get five locker breaks, you only get about three minutes each break. The breaks are when you arrive, in the morning, right after extension, before lunch, after lunch, and at the end of the day. Not many. So this can help you in each class.

In the morning you can go to your locker and empty out the backpack. Put your coat and backpack on the hooks put your stuff in your locker like a coat, backpack, and empty out the backpack. Next get the stuff that you need in the morning for extension. When you get back, place your extension belongings on the shelf and grab your first and second period materials. The third locker break is right before lunch now you want to separate your books and binders to the correct shelves don’t just put your stuff in your locker.
