Storing Supplies

Libby Rhoden, a first grade teacher at Kruse Elementary School in Pasadena, Texas

I save containers from powdered Gatorade, potato chips, coffee, Bisquick and flavored tea. I use them to store all kinds of supplies and keep the supply cans on the shelf for the children to use. The uncovered cans offer real world print awareness. I often find the children reading the cans.

I do this at home as well, having found that many food and drink containers, esp. plastic ones are sturdy and durable enough to last for years. Also, they're "free" with purchase of the contents. Examples include: plastic water or juice bottles; plastic containers with screw-on lids like those used for nuts or sauces; squirt containers (like for ketchup or mustard) can hold paints or powders; containers with snap-on plastic lids can hold just about anything that fits. All the above are either air-tight or reasonably so...
