I’m trying something new this year … I have created table bins for each of my student tables. The purpose of these buckets is, ultimately, to save time. When we have a material-heavy project (like our Love, Splat art activities we did the other day) I have a lot of different martial to pass out to each kid (multi-colored paper, googly eyes, liquid glue, etc). So I spent a few minutes prepping for the lesson by loading each table bucket with enough material for each student at the table. It saved me a ton of time! We’ll see how this evolves, but I’m always a fan of organizational time-savers!
I got the bins at the dollar store, and the labels from Amy Lemons.
And just for fun … here is how our Love, Splat projects turned out this year. In true teacher form, I can’t ever seem to do anything the same way two years in a row, so our “Splat” projects and display are a little different than previous years. I got the Valentine garland at the dollar store.
