During one of our literacy meetings, many teachers expressed their frustrations with messy and unorganized literacy bins. As a results items get misplaced, destroyed, or "stolen." The idea was that on random days, the Bin Fairy will visit, leaving a note and a treat to reward the students for keeping their literacy bins clean and organized.
I have made a few different types of notes to help this work. They are the size of business cards, printed on various colors of card stock. They are already cut and in a basket by the Thinkmarks in the bookroom. Please feel free to take them and use them. If you have created your own notes and would like them copied and cut out, please email it to me and we'll add it to our notes!
Be sure to share how it worked in your class!! One lesson that Courtney learned the hard way - don't give chocolate as a reward if you store your bins on the heater!!
Here are a few examples of Bin Fairy notes:
