What can we do now?

 This school year one of my biggest focuses has been on creating exciting choice activities for my students. These are activities that students can "choose" from when they have finished their "have to" work. For the first half of the year our 4th graders stayed in one classroom and the teachers switched (Yeah, I know! Don't ask!). Everything I needed to teach math to 3 classes each day had to fit on a cart. That led to the purchase of the Choice Cart. I got this one at Sam's and I love it. Since winter break we have started staying in our own room with the students switching, but I still love my cart for storage.

I picked up these cute little baskets at Dollar Tree that I used to store each center.  I have purchased a TON of games from my favorite TPT gals. I would love to make my own activities at some point, but to borrow a quote from Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that!" When I print out the centers, I shrink the page that has the name of the game or activity and the directions and hang them from a ring on each basket. It saves on basket space and on color ink and laminate. I happen to get this set from my FAVORITE TPT seller and blogger The Science Penguin.

For storage after I switch out the activities I bought these handy dandy storage bags, also at Dollar Tree. I have a few hundred of these baggies now. I have them all in a few boxes until I can think of a better way to organize them.

I would love to hear any ideas that anyone has for storing these baggies!
