The Best Organizational Trick I Was Given

lessoninteaching:

Kitty Litter Boxes.

Advantages:

  • Organization!  Kids can’t throw stuff into their desks.
  • When kids need to clean their desks, they just pull out their bucket (they still haven’t figured out they are litter boxes!)
  • Kids can’t reach in and play with things in their desks.  If they try, I can easily tell.
  • When I move a student’s desk, I can just move his bucket.
  • My kids say they like them because when someone else sits at their desk, they can’t take anything (4th graders…)

I would solely use this for the ease of movie desks. Genius. Someone get me 27 litter boxes.

    We always used the cardboard flats that 6 packs of soda cans came on. The grocery stores would give them free of charge.
