Organize your Classroom Supplies

Summer is a great time to decide how you will organize your supplies for next year.  I am changing rooms next year and will have shelves instead of cubbies, but the containers and labels will still work great.

Here is the supply cubbie I have had for the last few years:

Sterilite Small Bin

I love the Sterilite Small Bins. I have used plastic shoeboxes, fabric boxes, and other bin versions.  I like these the best.   Here's why:

• They are very durable, strong, and don't bend out of shape
• They stack!  You flip in the handles and they stack. 
• They are easy to pull out of cubbies and shelves because of the handles.
• They are easy for the kiddos to carry, so I store manipulatives in these too and the kids hand out and pick up the manipulatives easily.
• They are available at Target and The Container Store and lots of other places as well for approximately $2.50.

Now the labels are a few years old and not very fancy (one is missing, you can see) so I needed a label update.

Now on to make some of those cute Pinterest scrapbook paper covered clipboards!
