What I did...

Jill,
I can totally relate to your frustration over the little room in those teeny desks. I teach 5th and it seems the books get bigger every year. I have a bookshelf that has room for a plastic shoebox w/lid on it| for every student (they are $.88 a piece at Wal-Mart). In the shoeboxes we put their pencils, pens, calculators, dictionary, index cards, scissors, colored pencils, and anything else they need. They always keep the shoeboxes with them, and when we switch classes, they carry it to the next class. They also have zippered binders that they keep all looseleaf paper and their workbooks in (spelling, | |
grammar, and reading). This helps to remove some congestion in the desks, and frees it up for those gigantic texts. It sometimes is a lot for them to carry from class to class (the binder, book and shoebox) but it's the easiest way I can find for carting all their goodies with them.I'm anxious to see what solutions others have that I might be able to use.
