My students have to have a blanket, a complete change of clothes, their jacket, and a communication folder for home/school. All of these items have to fit in their backpack and hopefully hang on one of the hooks that is behind a wall in the classroom. It is difficult for my four year olds to keep up with all this stuff in such a small confined space and not lose items or leave them on the floor to be walked on.
If we had cubbies instead of hooks my students could have their very own space to keep their stuff. Their change of clothes and blankets could remain at the school in their space and only have to have their folder and jacket in the backpacks.
With our current situation my students blankets and jackets touch each other often more easily to spread unwanted bug friends between each other. With cubbies only two children would have the opportunity to touch backpacks because everything else would be confined in it's own designated space.
