Sorting Supplies

A large challenge when you have multiple children schooling together ...

is

keeping track of which supplies belong to which child.

It's not easy when all 10 preschoolers have the exact same box of crayola crayons.
How do you know which one left the red crayon?

In the past, Karen has tried to lable them with letters of their name.

But now we have 4 A's, 2 M's, 2 K's.

So Rhoda labled hers 1,2,3,4

Do you know how much a 3 looks like an M on the side of a crayon?

Complicating this issue is that I don't see very well.

I need to go to the eye doctor and get a perscription for reading glasses.

So we came up with this idea ...

label with colored tape.

The plan was to use masking tape for each child.

But we found duct tape .. or sport tape.

We bought the sport tape for the rest of the kids.

Joel wanted us to take the blue off of ALL of his and replace it with yellow.

I asked Joel if we should label the watch he bought himself for his birthday.

What a look I got.

Then he laughed.
