Wrapping

This can be used by other teachers who need to organize materials for their class.  I created my own frame for the tubs to fit into because I couldn't find anything to purchase that would work.  I have shared this product with other teachers in my school and made other frames for teachers there as well.  Word of mouth is how my information is currently being shared. 

The following pictures demonstrate what I have created and how I have put it into use.

This is the completed frame with the Velcro attached to the sides and on the desk.

This shows the frame attached to the desks, with a desk on either side of the frame.  (You can see the hole in the middle of the frame between the desks for the tub).

This shows the tub in the frame with the various math tools and supplies.

This shows the tub lid that has been painted dark blue because the white lids got dirty very quickly!

And finally, this shows how the tubs are set up in the classroom.  Each pair of students shares a tub with their math tools easily accessible inside.

I have been using the frames and tubs this year, and so far, the efficiency of the tubs has been a huge success.  Each student likes having his or her own supplies right at hand when they need it, and they can keep their space organized.  This gives me more time for instruction, so I spend less passing out needed supplies.  Each student is responsible for their own shared tub, so they also learn responsibility and accountability for their own things.
