"Material Caddies"

In one classroom that I worked in, the teacher had "material caddies" for each student to keep their supplies in (glue, crayons, whiteboards, etc.), They were hanging pockets that hung on the back of the student chairs. She would put whatever materials that they were going to need for the day in the pockets and whenever students needed to get something, they would just need to reach in their pockets (rather than getting up out of their seats and losing transition time) and pull it out by the time she counted to five. She had the students trained from the beginning of the year that the pockets were not to be touched unless they were instructed to do so, so they did not cause a distraction in class. Seemed like a great way to manage materials without losing transition time in between activities!
