Taskbox Time & Organization Station- Taskbox Organization

As you continuing setting up your classroom for the new school year don't forget to organize all of your structured work tasks and taskboxes for easy access and clean up during the school day. Today we merge Taskbox Time and Organization Station to bring you ideas for organizing these tasks.

      

Many teams have a shelf of tasks near their structured work system area so that students and staff can quickly access them when it is time to work.

To reduce visual clutter when students are working, teams use covered shelves or store tasks in a cabinet so they can be visually blocked when not in use.

When storing taskboxes, it can be helpful to label them with a photograph or icon so that they can be easily located when needed.

When students are responsible for gathering their taskboxes, it can be helpful to organize them using a matching system with shapes or icons that they can easily discriminate.
