As soon as it arrived at school I went into school and assembled the shelves. Then we got to work organizing the closet into a functional room instead of piles of materials on the floor. Now everything has a set place to be- off of the floor and safe from the rodents that scurry around when the students leave for the day. Not only is it functional but it is super organized and looks great. When a curriculum material is needed or a new package of crayons, it is easy to just open the closet door, find the correct shelf and grab what is needed.
