I found myself in desperate need of storage for Dollar Store tubs that would store task cards and materials for my group work in class last week. Photo boxes that craft stores sell were not deep enough to hold the materials that went along with task cards. To fix the problem, I ordered these rulers from Amazon for 25 cents a piece and made the crates.
In order to make the crates you will need: 8 rulers, 3 pieces of wood, finishing nails, paint and wood glue.
Cut the bottom piece of wood 12" by 6". Cut the side piece of wood 6" x 6". After cutting them paint the wood whatever color you need. Then use wood glue and a nail gun to put them together. If you would like to make some for your class and you do not have electric tools you can still make the crates. You should have the wood cut at a hardware store. You can also nail small finishing nails through the rulers and wood with a hammer.
Below you will see what I filled my boxes with last week. We played a Villain vs. Hero game to learn all about the power of our words. Of course we had masks and capes to help engage us in the lesson.
