103. Best Storage Solutions for Centers in Kindergarten
Update: 2025-09-25
Description
Wondering how to manage all those center materials without creating chaos or drowning in bins and bags?
In this episode, I’m breaking down how I organize my math and literacy centers in a way that actually works for me (and might just work for you too!). I’ll walk you through what I’ve tried, what didn’t stick, and what I finally figured out about keeping things easy to grab, easy to store, and easy for students to manage independently.
In this episode I share:
- How I organize math centers by unit using labeled Ziploc bags
- Where I store everything so it’s ready to go—even on hectic days
- Why I organize literacy materials by skill instead of unit
- Tips for reusing materials without making a million copies
- How to build independence by teaching kids to set up and clean up their own centers
