One of the best things about researching online to improve my own teaching is finding other teachers who are doing amazing things! I got this idea from the fantastic 3rd grade teacher/blogger, Dandelions and Dragonflies.
I have one shelf from IKEA next to each group, where they keep their folders (in IKEA magazine files), textbooks and supply boxes. On the top you'll see a group hand sanitzer, box of tissues and their ACTIVotes.
Since I teach fifth grade, and we are in the business of preparing them for life in middle school, they actually turn their desks around (so the opening is facing away from them) partway through the year. They are allowed to get up and go to their cubbies (or "lockers") once prior to each subject, and must store all supplies on the cubbies and not inside their desks.
