Organization Station: Organizing Taskboxes Using Labels

It's no secret... we love taskboxes! They are a great way to incorporate hands-on, differentiated tasks in the classroom with clear expectations. But the more taskboxes you make, the harder it can be to find places to store them! Luckily we have seen some great ideas out in our districts for keeping tasks organized using consistent labeling. Today we merge our Organization Station and Taskbox Time to feature these great ideas. 

We love how Annette Black at Springfield High School has color-coded her labeling system so that tasks in the same category can be found easily. This also makes putting tasks away easier for staff and students!

We love how Robbie Whorton at Demmitt Elementary in Vandalia has labeled her taskboxes using photographs of the task. This is a great visual cue for staff to know how to reset tasks. Then, she consistently uses three bins labeled with shapes for student's daily work. The bins are always the same but the taskboxes inside can be changed out. This is a great way to keep routine consistency for students while incorporating task variety. 

Brittany Wendling at Valley Elementary in Beavercreek's labeling system doubles as icons for her students' visual work schedules. Each taskbox has a symbol label (animal, number, or letter) and the matching label can be used on the student's visual work schedule so they can match it to the specific task. 

As you can see, there isn't one way to store or label your classroom taskboxes. The key is finding a system that works for your class to make storage and implementation easy and efficient! For more ideas, check out our previous posts:
