Individual Baskets for Elementary School Desks
My teacher friend, who always has sharpened pencils ready for me to use with students, began using individual baskets for each student's desk. Instead of using Velcro to affix the baskets, she used a double-sided tape which, supposedly, will not leave any residue and should be easy to remove later on. I recall other teachers who used Velcro strips to attach baskets like these and the students eventually began using the sound of Velcro pulling apart as a fun way to amuse their friends.
