A Work-in-Progress...

Supply boxes

So in an attempt to save time and be cool with my organization skills, I decided to put together a supply box for each of my table groups. This way when we are doing art projects, illustrating images (notice how we do not ‘color’ in 6th grade, we ‘illustrate’ ;) and just anything besides using pencils and paper, it is easy to pass and quick to pass out materials. I bought the clear, plastic shoe box tubs when they were on sale during the beginning of the year and put in:

Colored Pencils

Makers

Crayons

Scissors

Glue Stick

Rulers

I am trying to still work the bugs out of a few things...either I did not set up my expectations for the supply boxes or my kids are not used to being as ‘incredibly organized’ as I am...the boxes have become messy after just one use...Any ideas on how to keep them neat and complete after each use?!
