Matthew built these custom cubbies for us. Each child has one of their own with all of their notebooks for the year and a bin for supplies (pencils, flashcards, whatever else they think they need). Our regular bookcases were not wide enough to accomodate all of the binders for one child on one shelf. Plus this gave us an extra surface!
I gave each child an "in-box" tray where they can collect copy work, and any other independent work I've prepared for them. They can also store any work that's still in progress. The top tray is labeled "Completed Work." I can go through it whenever I'm ready, make notes, assess progress and then return it to them so they can either make adjustments or store the final work in their binders.
On top of this table are the kid's bags for co-op. We've since purchased new backpacks for each kid (Walmart had a great sale!), and I stored them on top of one of the bookshelves in a large wash basin. The backpacks contain their co-op notebook, supplies, a small lunch bag and small water bottle. In place of these bags, I put two white dish basins on this table. One is labeled History Resources and the other is labeled Science Resources. Since we share a variety of books, supplies and tools for each history and science unit, I thought it might be helpful to keep those things contained and easy to access. We'll see how it works this year.
Drawers are labeled so we remember what goes in each.
