Between my classroom and my home, I have learned a lot about simplifying spaces that are easy to tidy. So easy, in fact, that the kids can even do it! I picked up decluttering skills in my classroom pretty quickly out of necessity! I have tried many systems and strategies to help students develop their play, learning, and independence. This cannot happen without also learning to take care of and keep our classroom tidy. The number one thing I have learned is that kids do best with less. I brought this concept home and found out that it is just as true for my own kids AND for my husband and me.
