Like probably every other teacher, I am an Amazon queen. I make an Amazon Classroom Wish List every year, and it is where 90% of my classroom organization comes from. Let’s do a tour of my favorite classroom organization materials from Amazon!

Small Piece Organizer
One of the best organizational materials in my classroom is this small piece organizer! This is perfect for organizing schedule pieces and visuals. Read this blog post for more tips on schedule piece organization.
Astrobright Paper and Bulletin Board
My students and I live for our color coded mounted schedule station. The visual schedules are mounted on bulletin boards on the wall. I always use Astrobright paper for the students’ schedule strips. This organization system saves so much space, and it is straightforward and easy for my students to follow.

Shoebox Containers
I use shoebox containers for lots of things, but they are most helpful in my task box library! Grab the task box labels HERE. Shoebox containers are the perfect size for organizing task box materials.

3 Drawer Bins
Next up, we have 3 drawer bins. These are perfect for setting up an organized independent work station or for organizing materials! I have 3 of these in my classroom.
Read this blog post to learn out the 3 drawer work box system.
Book Bins and Clipboard Folders
On our centers shelves, we keep our data bins and data clipboards. The clipboard folders are great for keeping raw data sheets organized because they are folders so you can keep the sheet you’re using clipped to the front, and you can keep blank copies inside the folder.
On the shelf, I also use book bins to organize center materials. These are great to organize adapted books and file folders!
Bins, Binders, and Mailbox Organizer
On top of our cubbies, I keep all our daily materials organized. In the rainbox mailbox, I have all our daily copies in each drawer and ready to be filed communication logs. I keep each students’ IEP binder in the red bins. In these binders I keep a student profile, home questionairre, IEP, raw data sheets, communication logs, and work samples.
Washi Tape
Our “At a Glance” board is our scheduling lifeline! Use washi tape to tape off various sections for all the ongoing schedules in the classroom! This tape can also be used to color code tables and mark off sections of tables for visually defined spaces.

Go Bags
We use “go bags” to hold all the necessary materials for traveling outside our classroom. Emergency materials, first aid items, sensory items, fidgets, data sheets, pens, timers, click counters, you name it! It all goes in our “go bags!”
Read this blog post on why you need an emergency go bag.
Portfolio Folder
I use a portfolio folder for all my IEP meetings to keep all the documents organized! Just label each pocket with the document needed for each meeting and you’re IEP ready!
Read this blog post for tips on how to be confident at IEP meetings.
Flat Storage Trays
Last but certainly not least, we have my charging station. I use flat storage trays for our AAC devices and iPads at our charging station.
