146. Never Pick up Another Stray Crayon: Why We Love Guided Discovery

Teacher Approved: Elementary Teacher Tips & Strategies

If you are anything like us, we loved setting up our classrooms with all our brand-new supplies and materials. They were clean, organized, and had all the right parts. However, by winter break (and realistically, sooner than that!), all our supplies were dirty, disorganized, dried out, and missing the majority of their caps. We eventually found a system that helped keep our supplies lasting longer, which is guided discovery. In today’s episode, we’re sharing our back-to-school guided discovery system for managing any and all of your school tools.
