Storage on the Cheap
Inexpensive solutions to classroom storage problems.
|
Month to Month
Store timely materials by month.
Purchase 10 large plastic tubs and label each tub with the name of a month. Use the containers to store timely lessons, worksheets, projects, bulletin board materials, and so on.
Got Milk?
Milk crates have multiple uses.
Milk crates are great for storing materials, creating a center, or use as bookshelves. You can pile milk crates to create chairs or throw a vinyl table cloth over crates to create a table.
Files and Folders
Save space with plastic.
Insert into a large 3-ring binder an individual plastic folder for each student. Attach to each folder a colored tab labeled with a student's name. Use the folders to save parent correspondence, field trip permission forms, absence notes, and so on. Create an extra folder for receipts for items you purchase for the classroom.
