As many of you know, I teach 3rd grade (at Gilmer ISD) and we team teach. I really love team teaching--it was a huge adjustment at first but once we made the change and committed, it's great! However, there are a few organizational issues that I have run into and I think I finally found a solution! When the kids move from one classroom to the other, you don't want them to have to take their supplies with them. Just imagine it--40 kids in the hall...talking (although they shouldn't be) :), and carrying markers, glue, crayons, scissors, pencils, ETC! YIKES. What is the solution you ask?? COMMUNITY SUPPLY BINS. I know you are thinking--duh Hillary, how hard is that? Well, it isn't hard at all, until about 6 weeks into the school year and the kids have worn out whatever "great" system you had in place. Well, I have finally found a full proof system (thanks Pinterest!). So see the pictures below!! (Some pictures are mine and most are from the girl I took the idea from!)

| Supply Bins with Labeled Cups |

| You can do small cups or large cups! |
 |
| Place marbles in the bottom so they don't topple over! |

And there you have it! A full-proof organizational method for supplies! But I must give credit where credit is due--these so far are Lady Bug's pictures. Go visit her site! Below is a quick glimpse at the ones I made (minus the marbles--I am adding those at the beginning of the year!)
