Question for the hive:
We love our browsing bins and choose the size based on the number of books when everything is checked in. When many are checked out, the books fall flat (2nd pic of each).
Does anyone put something inside the bin to help this problem?

We learn so much by seeing how others identify and tackle problems in their spaces.

Sometimes I fall into the trap of making up a story in my head that every student is going to just put all check marks down and “lie” saying they are finished. That consistently…does not happen. 😂
Thank you for helping me trust the students and the checklist!

It went even better in kindergarten! We had time to count our totals and go over which number was bigger and which was smaller. When we showed their T, she said “Were you listening in on our math lesson today?!? This matches perfectly!”
