As the last few weeks of summer quickly pass by, I am starting to wrap up all my classroom projects. I am finally feeling like I have a classroom that is coming together. I am so anxious and excited to get started and jump into this new position!
A few weeks ago, I found this brand new toy organizer at a Goodwill for only $10.
I loved it because it was sturdy and the perfect size for my classroom. I also loved that the slates were removable to make the boxes larger!
After brainstorming a few ideas for this little organizer, I decided it would be a great storage station for communal classroom supplies. If a student needs a pair of scissors or a new glue stick, they can just walk up to the "Supply Station" rather than getting out boxes or bins.
This is the (almost) finished product. The bottom middle section still needs a label because I'm not sure what other supplies I should include. Can't wait to fill it up!
I laminated the labels and attached them to the wood with velcro adhesives. This way I can change the label if I find that my students are needing other supplies.
This is my other project I worked on today. I think it might be my new favorite DIY classroom addition!
I found this amazing freebie on TPT for the crayons. The download includes crayons with labels and ones without. I used the ones without and added my own color words through Word. I then took a trip to Michaels where I found cardstock at 40% off. I got one in each color for backgrounds for each crayon. I also got the blue glittery paper on the heading from Michaels. After laminating, I taped them together on the back using packaging tape.
Everything is slowly coming together and I am so excited to actually get into my classroom and get started! :)
