Packing Up Our Classroom

Help me give my students plastic bins and tubs to safely and securely pack up our classroom for summer and provide storage for our supplies in the fall.

My Project

Packing up a classroom at the end of every school year is a lot of work. Making sure that all of the supplies and equipment used in a science classroom are safely packed away requires plastic bins and tubs to protect everything from any moisture or pests that might be in the classroom over the summer.

Unfortunately, mice are not uncommon in our school and classrooms and they often get into supplies such as paper, crayons and other materials we use in class.

Having bins will protect our supplies from these critters.

Not only are we packing up our classroom for summer, but in the fall, we will need to move to a different classroom. Plastic tubs and bins of a variety of sizes will help to make sure that all of the supplies and equipment are safely stored for the summer and will provide storage in our new space in the fall.
