Like many educators, teachers in Plainview, NY, are often responsible for figuring out the organization and arrangement of their classrooms. With so many different materials and
supplies to consider, it’s easy to become stressed out. That’s why Safeguard’s storage experts have put together a few school supply storage ideas for teachers.
Plainview’s students deserve an opportunity to thrive, and teachers shouldn’t have to struggle to meet that end. Discover how to create a well-organized classroom with Safeguard.
School Supply Storage
Here’s a few solutions for Plainview teachers who want more storage space out of their classrooms.
Rolling Carts
Take advantage of vertical space in your classroom with solutions such as standing storage. Some forms of standing storage include rolling carts with multiple drawers. In addition to their mobility, rolling carts often include drawers, which you can color-code to create even more organization.
Ziplock Bags
Easily labeled and even easier to organize, Ziplock bags are especially valuable for things like puzzle pieces, erasers, certain types of toys, and other small school supplies.
When you use Ziplock bags, it’s harder to lose or mix up things that would otherwise just be loose and unorganized.
Color Everything!
You should use colors as much as possible to improve your school supply storage options. Whether that’s as simple as alternating blue-green-blue buckets for different supplies or assigning different types of supplies to different colors (red for schoolbooks, blue for writing utensils), or even subjects to different colors (red for math books, blue for history books), as long as there’s consistency in your assignment of colors, this can prove incredibly helpful.
If you lack containers of different colors, you could also try labeling things in different colors to achieve the same effect.
Portable Cases or Bags
Fortunately, toolkits and other teacher storage that are designed to carry all of the worksheets and lessons for a subject or lesson are easy to find in Plainview, NY. If you designate one of these to each thing you plan to teach, it’s easy to organize them into convenient, portable resources that are intuitive for both you and the students. Label the case/bag with the subject to make it easier for younger students to organize as well and help minimize clutter.
