Students bring a ton of supplies with them to school, not to mention all of the things the school (or teacher) provides them! The trick? Where to store all of the things?
Here are some classroom storage hacks and ideas!

1. Classroom Library
I love to use Sterilite Stacking Boxes for my classroom library. They are super durable, and strong enough to hold many books without toppling over.
I can usually find these on Amazon. Here is a 6 pack of the small white ones. You can find medium white ones here. The large ones are great for picture books.
2. Storage Ottomans
We made our own storage ottomans a few years ago as a class project.
But... if you are not feeling particularly handy, you can find these ones over at Amazon.
3. Pencil Management
Amazon has a 6 pack of the small Sterilite 3-drawer organizers in black.
4. Anchor Charts
I was absolutely in love with this anchor chart storage system from Cheryl at Primary Graffiti shared on her Instagram Account. You can create this using these hanger holders.
Unfortunately, my classroom walls are sheet rock and I can't install them. So... I came up with this instead.
This is similar to what I got.
This would be another great option. I found an example of a teacher using it on Pinterest.
Priscilla from Teacheriffic in 2nd Grade shared this storage unit made out of PVC pipe.
This post from First Grade and Fabulous shows you how to build one yourself!
5. Student Book Boxes
Because I have tables in my classroom, I need a place for students to hold their supplies. These book boxes from Really Good Stuff are AMAZING!
6. Miscellaneous Classroom Supplies
I love using the Sterilite Shoe Boxes to store miscellaneous supplies such as crayons, glue, etc. I actually bought the white ones here, but used spray paint to make them green. The spray paint holds up pretty well, but I usually need to re-do them every school year.
