I recently had to move classrooms. My new classroom is completely different than my old classroom, with different cabinets, different space, and even different walls. As with everything, there are always positives and negatives. The positives are that the space allows for me to have an extra table or two so I can have fewer students per table for STEAM lab activities. The negative is that all of my supplies are split up into groups of 6 and now I need groups of 7-8. For that to happen, I need to get additional containers and more of certain supplies. I also have no drawer space.
Help get my new classroom organized and ready for the new school year with additional storage containers and drawers.
