#ScotchEXP {magnetic supply organization}

January 6, 2014 misskindergarten 17 Comments

Aahhh January, a time for fresh starts and new beginnings! If you’re anything like me, the thought of organizing teaching supplies makes you a little giddy 😉 I have a fun, new way to organize the markers, crayons, pencils, etc. that you use when teaching a lesson in front of the class. Thanks to Scotch Expressions Tape, they are also really cute!
More often than not, I’m completing a step-by-step lesson with my class, and I misplace my black crayon. Sure, I could reach into the students’ crayon boxes and use one of theirs, but we all know how gross that can be 😉 So I wanted to come up with any easy way to store my teaching supplies and make them easy to access. I saw this idea on Pinterest and I knew it was it! Unfortunately, the magnetic containers that blogger used are no longer available, so I had to get creative! I found some little wooden boxes {with some seasonal snowflakes on them!} at my local craft store and I knew they’d do the trick!
I chose some cute and cheery Scotch Expressions Washi Tape {Pink Quatrefoil} and Scotch Expressions Magic tape {Circus, Classic Triangles, Orange, Turquoise}, found some glittery letter stickers and picked up a few strong magnets.
I decorated the “backside” of the wooden boxes since they were going to be the new front. I played around with the tape, and layered them over each other. I made sure to cover up the little holes at the top that once had string going through them.
I was a little advantageous at first using only one magnet, but found soon enough that it was not strong enough to hold both the box and the supplies inside of it!
So I peeled the magnet off the center, and glued four magnets to each corner instead. Much better!
I decorated three boxes and then added labels to the “front” using my glittery letter stickers.
I made boxes for markers, crayons and pencils. You can also make them for scissors, dry-erase markers, or even glue sticks!
Then I stuck them up on the white board, for easy access whenever I need them!
Organized and beautiful. Just the way I like it 🙂

These story time sticks from @rainbows.and.reading These story time sticks from @rainbows.and.reading are such a great idea! She keeps them out while reading a story so she can ask comprehension questions before, during, and after reading. Have you tried story times sticks? #saturdayteachershare

They are so helpful in allowing your budding readers to focus on the words they’re reading and they’re highly engaging! You can usually find these witchy fingers around Halloween, but we use them all year round 😉 What other reading pointers have you used? Thank you @thefancyteacher for sharing this photo!

A wonderful mama sent me this photo and said “Ca A wonderful mama sent me this photo and said “Camden’s self esteem while reading has risen! He is so proud of himself and loves his book. He read five pages in a row with excitement!” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THIS is why we do it! Building readers who are CONFIDENT in themselves & show excitement for learning. Once that confidence emerges, those readers shine! ☀️
