Storing Those Little Gadgets!
I have been blogging A LOT about sensory diets and different interventions. For the past few years I have really struggled with keeping and maintaining all these cheap gadgets I would find. Dollar tree and Target Dollar spot are a favorite of mine. I find all these tweaky toys that can be used as fidgets. I get all excited, I bring them to school, and then BAM- their gone! And then weeks later I find them in random spots of the room. They get put back with the art supplies, or in the puppet container, or in a book box, in the toy cabinet, behind a shelf etc. These gadgets were never organized in a good manner. It was something I knew I had to set up, but never did! Finally- I did it….. and it is simple 🙂
I recycled an old three bin drawer. I am keeping it in the front of the room by my laptop and projector. I decided to put it here because myself and my staff always have an eye on this area to make sure no interested kids are playing with cords and expensive technology. I also wanted to make sure no sneaky kiddo’s steal any of my gadgets when not needed or allowed.
I labeled each drawer so that staff and students know where to find the belongings!
