Making Life Easier - Caddy
During the summer is always the time for me to think about what will make my year go much smoother. A few years ago I changed from doing pencil boxes to caddies. I had tried both pencil pouches and boxes. The pouches would end up getting holes in them and them and their crayons and pencils would fall out. The boxes by the end of the year would have the lids breaking off of them or you would have the ones with a key and the kids think it is so fun, until I make them take the key home and tell them we are not locking our boxes. I do not do communal supplies, so the boxes would also get quite full with their pencils, crayons, glue sticks, liquid gue, and eraser. These caddies solved that problem. In the large side it holds their crayons and pencils, one small is f side is for glue sticks, liquid glue, and scirrors. The other small size is for a water bottle. I got these around COVID time when we went from water fountains to everyone having to have a water bottle. They did a better job of keeping the bottles sitting up and if one did leak it just leaked into the plastic caddy and could be easily cleaned out. There are a few students who cannot keep their caddy at their desk because they cannot keep from dropping it, so theirs sits on a shelf and they just go get it when it is needed. These have definately made my life easier in the classroom.
