BTS: School Supplies, Keeping it Organized

If you read my earlier post, you know that BTS stands for Back to School. Well, even if you didn't I just told you. I love shopping for school supplies! I love the feel of a brand-new binder and pencils to start off the school year right. Today I'm sharing with you my favorite supply items to keep my schoolwork organized throughout the year.

1. Get an agenda
For the past two years I have used a Lilly Pulitzer agenda to write down homework, tests and quizzes, projects and other school related engagements. My school provides an agenda to us, however, its really small and I find that I cannot stay organized with the space provided to write things down, so I purchased my own.

2. Use an accordion folder
Last year I used an accordion folder for storing homework and papers that I want to bring home and have easy access to outside of the binder or folder for a particular class. This system makes finding papers a breeze! I have a label for every class and one extra for general papers from my homeroom teacher.

3. Buy extra paper 
Every year it seems I run out of loose leaf paper around March or April and I have to purchase more. There is nothing worse than the day you run out of loose leaf when you need to take notes and someone offers you paper they have ripped out from a notebook. If you find yourself running low, run out and buy some so you can avoid the situation of being paperless.
