In the current situation our students can't have common supplies. Our team still wanted students to have hands on materials so we came up with a plan!
Indivudaly supply trays! The goal was to spend as little money as possible, but still give the kids items that could be used only by them. Many of the items we had in our classrooms, but some items we did have to purchase of Dolllar Tree and Amazon.
I had many skinny baskets for turning in papers, but I needed more so I ordered these from Oriental Trading.
Inside the basket...
Small plastic conainer with 2 dice. You can always give different dice to students to differentiate.
Reusable makeup remover pad (From Dollar Tree) to be used as an eraser
Bag of 20 counters- used unifix blocks, foam squares, Target erasers erc. Each kid has their own object so if one falls on the floor we know who it belongs to and can return it without a problem.
Bumpy board- Orton Gilligham tool.
Play doh for word work.
Dry erase pocket with cardstock inserts for hands on math and reading practice.We have been able to use less paper because we turned a lot of the papers into cardstock inserts for the dry erase pockets.
Pencil Sharpener- works well for some students and others can't handle it so use your judgement here.
Magnet Letters
Number cards 1-20
Word wallet- we put our weekly word cards in here. To make: fold a sheet of cardstock in half long ways, fold in half the other way and stape the ends.
These items have become so helpful to us.
If you have ideas share them in the comments below! We are better when we work together!
