Pigeon Holes Classroom Organisation Idea

by Tracie
(Adelaide)

Just a simple organisation idea...

We create the children's own "pigeon holes" using either joined square milk cartons or decorated paper plates hung on the wall (with a half plate attached to a full plate to create a pocket).

This is a great way for the children to communicate with each other or for putting notes in when children are away (so you don't forget to give them out when they get back!).

We also use coloured pegs which the children attach to their pigeon holes as they enter in the morning so we can easily check who is here. The Star of the Day then takes them off each afternoon ready for the next day. The children feel grown up having their own pigeon holes!
