This is not a "unique" idea, but I've found it works pretty well. I got some big plastic bins on sale at Wallmart and use one for each of my units. It's really handy to be able to just pull out the bin when I'm getting
ready to start a new unit. And it's also handy to be able to stick something in the bin when you find a new resource.
I made cute little labels (with pictures) on the computer and then stored them high on one of my shelves. It was somewhat of a pain when I wanted to get one down, but it did keep them out of the way. (And I only had to get up there every 4-6 weeks so it was "doable.)
An
idea I'm gradually adding on to this that I got from a colleague of mine is to keep all worksheets/paperwork for the unit in a binder.
Hope this helps some. Keeping things stored neatly has always been a challenge for me so I may not be the best one to give advice!!
