I bought number stickers and applied them to the desks, the pencil cases, the baskets, and the storage bags. They helped me apply the stickers and load up their desks. Every pencil case has glue, crayons, and scissors so when we are doing a project, they have everything they need right there. The basket is filled with the books they need in class. And the organization bags have colored pencils in them. \r\n\r\nMy students use these every day and it really has helped save time and keep them organized. We are all truly thankful and grateful to be able to use our desks in this way and for all the resources you helped get to us!!
