DAY 2

TRANSCRIPT

🎧 Simplify Your Supplies

Hey there, and welcome to Day 2 of the Classroom Reset Challenge!

You crushed Day 1—and even if you just cleared one small pile, that was a big step. Today, we’re keeping that momentum going by tackling another stress zone: your classroom supplies.

Because let’s be real… the supplies have taken over.
There are half-used glue sticks, rogue crayons, and bins full of “I’ll deal with that later.”

Today, we deal with it—in a simple, doable way.

📝 Your Day 2 Task: Simplify, Sort, and Inventory Your Supplies

Let’s break it into two parts.

1. Reset Your Student Supplies

Whether you use community or individual supplies, now’s the time to simplify:

🖍 For community supplies:

• Have students sort crayons by color into baggies

• Return anything still usable (like pencils, markers, or scissors)

• Anything they no longer need? Send it home!

📁 For individual supplies:
Have students return any classroom-owned items:

• Sharpies

• Highlighters

• Classroom folders

• Clipboards

• Scissors

• Glue sticks

• Turn-in trays or supply bins

Grab your classroom caddies and containers and take them home to toss in the dishwasher. You’ll thank yourself when everything comes back clean and ready to go in August.

✨ Pro Tip: If you have unopened or lightly used supplies, refill your caddies now and tuck them away for back-to-school. One less thing to worry about later!

2. Quick Supply Inventory

This is going to save you time and money later.

Most teachers keep extra supplies in a cabinet or closet—so today, open it up and do a quick walkthrough.

To make it easy, I’ve created a downloadable Supply Inventory List with common classroom items. Just jot down how many you have next to each item.

✔️ Bonus: If your school lets you place a supply order before summer, this list will make it quick and painless.
✔️ Even if not, you’ll know what to shop for when the sales hit in July.

A before-and-after of your supply shelf, your sorted crayons, or even your squeaky-clean caddies counts. You’ll be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card just for posting!

And if you’re thinking, “Wow, why don’t I do this more often?”—inside The Organized Teacher Club, I help you set up sustainable supply systems that make this feel automatic instead of overwhelming.

But for today, just focus on this:
Clean one area. Reset your supplies. And take a quick inventory.

You’re making space—not just in your classroom, but in your head.

I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 3, where I’ll show you how to get your students to help with the cleanup—without the chaos.

You’ve got this. 💛
