If you stack containers but don’t purchase the kind that are open in front or transparent, you’ll need to label them clearly so that you don’t have to dig through them every time you want to find something. This will save you a lot of time in the future. Store the most important boxes on top so that you can access them frequently. Just remember to make sure your stacks are stable and not precarious since children can easily knock things over. Also ensure that boxes which children will be using are within reach and not too high off the ground.

One last tip is to get students directly involved with your scheme by allowing them to use the educational storage units themselves. If your system is clear and easy to understand, students will be able to get supplies when they are needed and replace them without your assistance. This can really streamline lessons and activities and makes less work for you to do. It also helps to teach kids about organization and responsibility, which are essential life skills. Since there is no class in responsibility, it’s up to you to find ways to teach children these practical skills along with math, history, English, and science.
