Classroom Organizing Idea: Teacher Toolbox for Supplies

Classroom organization begins with strong systems.  Most of us are placed in classrooms with little to no resources to help! I know my first few years in the classroom were incredibly overwhelming. The first school I worked in had terrible storage, so I truly had to improvise making “something from nothing”.   I had a wooden variation of the “teacher toolbox” from Ikea (but it didn’t have nearly the number of compartments)!  This current teacher toolbox has seriously changed my life.  I never waste time searching for school supplies anymore!

I even made a compartment to hold my beloved washi tape.  I never search for anything anymore.  To say I am smitten would be an understatement!


As the saying goes, “A place for everything, and everything in its place”.   Whether you have a classroom of 30, homeschool a few, or have a departmental load of kids in the hundreds, this system will work for you.  No more wasted time and energy searching messy desks!

I made these labels totally customizable! There’s 37 different labels that encompass most traditional school supplies, but I also included a powerpoint slide that you can edit as needed.  If you want the fonts to match the one I used in designing these labels, the link to the font is included with the download.

This retro themed set is available in three colors: teal, lime, and red!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
