Hey guys in today's video
I'll be cleaning out and decluttering a lot of my papers and supplies now that the school year is over.
I really enjoy watching declutter videos
And I'm hoping that this video can also give you some tips on how to decide what items to keep after your school year is over.
So I'll be starting off with this expanding file folder that I use for most of my papers,
and for all my physics stuff for first period, I've already taken everything out. For English here are all of my papers
Um, let's see. My yearbook badge is right over here
Math I've also taken everything out. I have all those stored in a separate binder
here ours, here are all my things for AP euro
and this little...slip
French papers, I have a writing board
And I have assorted different types of blank paper
And in the back here I've got some work permits and forms and things I will not show on a camera currently
So these different unused blank papers can all go in the place where I store everything
Next I have all of these different...used papers, so, let’s see.
All of these French ones,
I think, I don't need to keep any of these.
I’ll put this paper clip back where it belongs...
Okay, so these are all of my French and AP euro papers and I will be recycling all of these because
I dont need any of them anymore
These are all for English and these are the different essays that I've gotten back. I don't need these either.
So, I will be...
recycling all of these papers
This section of my big bookshelf is for pretty much all of my notes and papers from this past school year,
So I'm going to take everything out of the shelf and put it on the floor
so it's easier to see and we will go through it; It's gonna be pretty difficult.
Ok. So first of all, this is my notebook from first-year French
It faces this way,
I originally kept it because I thought I could use it for reference for
this current year of French, but
I never really looked at it and these words are so basic that I already know all of them anyways,
so I can say goodbye to this notebook
It's mostly empty, so I will probably still use it. I don't know what for but I'll find a use for it
This notebook is for the notes I took over the summer for AP euro, I don't know if you can see that
These notes I might keep, let's see.
I probably will keep these to see if any of my friends who are taking AP euro next year want to use these to study but,
Besides that if no one wants them, I will recycle this notebook as it is mostly used up
Ok, so here are all of my unit packs for AP euro
And you might have seen a lot of these notes in my AP European history note flip through video.
I don't think I should give these to other people since the notes aren't gonna be very helpful to anyone as
I use a lot of abbreviations and symbols that are unique to me and I don't really have a key or anything
So I feel like it's not helpful to other people because it's like trying to read another version of English
so I think,
I'm just gonna recycle them which
kind of breaks my heart, but I have no purpose for these so I might as well get rid of them
Okay, this is my French portfolio from first-year French where we wrote a bunch of
little essays and things about ourselves
My teacher
From first year French also teaches third year and I'm going to have her again next year and she recommended that we keep these
So I'm going to keep it
This is my notebook for honors pre-calc and
I'm going to keep this since this next year, I will be taking calculus not
Precalculus so I can probably use this information in my class, especially the information from the Intro to Calc Unit
This notebook is
random notes
For AP European history. I will not keep these
This is just me jotting down the key concepts and the examples and then highlighting anything I wanted to Google later
These offer no purpose to anyone except for me when I was using them to review
So I'm going to throw away this notebook. I don't think it can be recycled because of the plastic parts, unfortunately
oh, and the reason it's not useful is because I basically just
Transcribed and paraphrased the key concepts, which you can find online in the actual much easier to read form
This binder is from Muji and it has my notes for French and physics from this year
I'm going to keep the French notes because I'm taking French again next year and these might come in handy as a reference again
I'm not sure how much I'll actually refer back to them since I never did look at my first-year French notes again
But it won't hurt to just hold onto these and then my physics notes. I
am probably going to give to my friend who's taking honors physics next year since
these are fairly clear and easy to read, unlike my AP euro notes which are so heavily abbreviated
So that's what I'll do with these.
and lastly, the behemoth. This huge purple binder
So this big folder divider thing, I use these pocket dividers just as giant folders
It has my French work from this entire past year. So anything that is not notes, like
worksheets and poster projects and anything like that
I don't think anything in here can be of use to me,
Most of the important information is contained in the notes that I am keeping
So I will recycle all of these papers
Okay in this next divider folder section, I have my math work and
I'm not sure exactly how helpful this stuff will be in my calculus class
I think most of it is not necessary to keep,
Let me see
Yeah, most of this information is already available,
either on the internet or I can find it in my textbook. So I'll recycle all of these as well
since these are all just
homework problems and quizzes and things, not notes, which I am keeping, so...
Yeah, recycling all of these as well
This folder is for physics work and these are not the notes, I detached all of the notes so
the problems and questions and worksheets and things,
I would have no reason to keep these since I'm not taking physics again
at least within high school and
No one else that I know of could really get much use out of these, so I will recycle all of these.
And lastly, this folder section is for English
So...let me pull these out
Oh by the way, I took all the paper clips off of my math stuff so I should probably put these away
I will be right back.
So here are all of the English papers and
these are the assorted activities and assignment sheets and essays
and
Pretty much everything. So I think out of this,
the only thing I would keep is this bookmark which has a guide to annotation
This information will probably be useful in my future English classes
Everything else is kind of just activities that we did
and essays that I don't want to read because they're
Not very good *laughs*
Next I have my bin of assorted things which usually goes next to my desk
So I'm gonna put this writing board in here to store it
So here I have my English notebook for the year
It's full of the exercises that we did in English and I have no reason to keep this so I'll be recycling this
notebook as well.
Okay, next I have my French workbook which I will also be recycling
I can't think of any reason why I would ever need to refer back to this in the future. So
recycling it goes
Here are my two English textbooks. In California, at least we use
SpringBoard textbooks for English, so they have
Different exercises that you can fill in and basically these textbooks are consumable
So you write in them and at the end of the year, you just don't, like you throw them away,
You don't have to return them. So I will also be recycling these because
Why would I ever need to look back at them?
Here is my bookshelf where I keep textbooks and other academic books
So over in this magazine file, I have these cards that come with my French workbook
These are summary cards of vocabulary and things that are in each lesson
So since I'm still taking French next year, I might use these cards
So I will keep these in this
magazine file
So next I have this AP euro prep book and I don't need this anymore since I'm done with AP euro
So I'll give this to one of my friends who is taking the class next year
and I have the SAT study guide, which I'm keeping because I haven't taken it yet and the
SAT to math, which I will also be keeping since I haven't taken these two tests yet
and then this textbook is for my calc summer homework. So keeping that
