Table Tubs

Hi! I collect some supplies and others they can keep until they are abused. I group my kids and have a tub in the middle of the desk. Each spot a desk is in is assigned A, B, C, D, or E...one letter for each day of the week. Most of my groups only have four so Friday is a random day except for my E people. The people in those spots are Table Tub captains for the day. They hand out paper, math manipulatives, keep the table tubs tidy, etc. This eliminates a lot of fighting. If I put papers on the wrong desk the students hand it to the right spot for handing out.
In the tubs (which are 6 inch | |
x 6 inch wire baskets) I keep one ruler for each child, a couple of highlighters for highlighting names on papers, a dry erase marker for each child, and a small thesaurus. We have subtraction wrap-ups through Saxon math that are kept in there when we are working on subtraction. I also kept scissors and glue but my baskets got crowded so now I keep them together on a shelf.
I do classroom money and will charge them for pencils this year. I'm hoping they'll keep track of them. I may also charge them a fine for using a pencil that is too short, sharpened at both ends, or had the eraser pulled out. What is it about 2nd Graders and pencils?
Hope that helps.
Steph
