Students know where the trays are kept, each lab team gets all their supplies on a tray and keep their materials organized on the tray. We also use the trays to make messes on!

In art, they use them for guided draws. In science they use them for organizing lab experiments and labeling data, graphs and items used in our investigations. We use them in writing to help us organize our writing portfolios. You'd never believe how invaluable sharpies are!
