We moved into our classroom this week. It's very exciting to have all our stuff in one room and a whiteboard on the wall. But I'm not sure what to do with our magnetic letters.
We can use them on the whiteboard and also on our easel, but it takes SO long to dig through the box to find the letters we want. We have two sets of upper case and one set of lower case, so we could make quite a few words if the letters were more accessible.
Does anyone actually use the magnets? Is there an easy way to organize them (that doesn't take a lot of room).
BTW, DD is 4 1/2, reading CVC words and about 40 sight words. We don't need the letters to learn the alphabet.
I'm very willing to donate them to the thrift store or church preschool if I don't figure out a simple solution.

Yep, they are more for "play" than "school" although a lot of learning does take place.
