Hola!
I am currently at the NEA conference, but have scheduled a few posts for while I am away :)
I fell in love with these desk baskets from Dollar Tree... Oh Dollar Tree, how do I love thee!!!
We are projected to have 17-20 in our classes this year, so I will most likely have either 5 groups of 4 or 4 groups of 5 desks in my room. Went ahead and bought 5 baskets just in case. Here are some pics- they were taken at night, so the color is a little off.
As I was debating between green and blue (should I do just one color or a mix was my debate), my hubby walked up and was like "you know you are going to get the blue". Gosh, he knows me!
So, now I am trying to figure out what to put in them and what labels to use. I need your help!
1. What all should I put in these? I had group baskets several years ago, but my memory is kind of fuzzy on what I included. My students are switching classes this year and I will be teaching reading.
Here is my list so far: hand sanitizer, highlighters, pens, colored pencils or markers (need to check my supplies back at school). What are your suggestions?
2. Here are the labels I am playing with so far...
So, let me know your opinions :) Thanks!
What about glue sticks, scissors or post-its?

I LOVE Dollar Tree too for baskets and such. I think just about all of the 100 baskets (maybe I'm stretching that number a little, but not much) are from dollar tree!
ReplyDeleteI found the CUTEST bright pink, purple, blue, and green square baskets with bubble like holes in them that I think I'll use for my A-Z books or chapter books....it goes right along with my "ocean" theme and my bright colors!
I have always had rows in my classroom. When I do pods like you are talking about, it seems to take up too much room and someone is always complaining that they can't see....
I would love to hear how pods work for others....
