Help me help these kids meet their fullest potential in the safest and most productive space! We are in a newly-built school and the room was totally empty when I moved in. The last art teacher had been a long-term sub for a couple years and so there were very few supplies for the kids. As I have slowly begun accumulating supplies, we now are struggling with space and organization! There is a large closet at the back of the art room but there are no shelves, so right now I just have boxes of supplies and materials on the floor stacked around the inside perimeter of the room. This cluttered closet is also our safe place in a lockdown, since the art room has a wall of windows that let in beautiful natural light and also let anyone see in who might have ill intentions. As the boxes stack up and I look at the diminishing space in the center of the closet, I am beginning to worry about my kids' safety if we have a lockdown and all have to get in that closet with all those supplies on the floor. In addition to being safer, getting those supplies off the floor and out of boxes will let the students actually see what supplies are at their fingertips and help their imagination flow! I have requested 7 metal shelves that I can put around the inside of the closet to begin getting supplies off the floor and accessible to the students. A couple of shelves will also be dedicated to holding and protecting student work, since we are currently having to store anything bigger than the drying rack shelves by laying the project on top of the boxes of supplies in the closet.
