Organizing Your Common Core Posters

Okay, now that you've got 150+ Common Core standards posters to display in your classroom, how do you organize them?! This was my dilemma over the past couple of days. I wanted an easy way to organize my standards cards that didn't take up much space. I thought about the storage drawers (too bulky), binder clips for each subject (too annoying to clip and unclip each time), and a tub with dividers (too big). While browsing through the office supplies section at Wal-Mart, I found a check expanding file that I thought would be perfect! Today, my goal was to get the posters organized by strand and filed in this organizer. Here is how it turned out:


This is such an easy way to organize all of these posters and it only cost me a couple of bucks! The file that I bought has 12 dividers and it worked out perfectly with each subject and strand. Here's how I organized them:

1. Reading: Literature
2. Reading: Informational
3. Reading: Foundational
4. Writing
5. Speaking and Listening
6. Language
7. Math: OAT (Operations and Algebraic Thinking)
8. Math: NBT (Numbers and Operations in Base Ten)
9. Math: MD (Measurement and Data)
10. Math: G (Geometry)
11. Science
12. Social Studies
