I've pulled out an Old Timer for some tutoring lately. I got out all the old Kamico books. I've always had the 5th grade activities in some stations or for small groups, but for tutoring I work with kids who are not in 5th or 6th grade. So I got the 1st-4th grade books and got goin'. There were several concepts I felt like we needed to reinforce and a few I felt like I needed a hands-on way to introduce.
Here we are practicing with a drawing conclusions activity. I had him read everything aloud as well as explain why the pink card went with the blue card. This was a 1st grade activity which he did great with. I think the Kamico activities can be pretty difficult so I sometimes go down a level. He was very successful with this one!

As I started making and getting more and more activities ready, I needed a way to organize them. I don't have the best system, but it's working for now.
I glue everything we need onto a file folder and then label the file folder with the grade and objective. I also highlight the grade and the objective on the instruction page.
Then I use my favorite organizational tool ever...plastic sleeves! I use these suckers for everything. I usually keep the originals so if I ever need to remake or make more, all the copies are right there.
