Discover how to store bulletin board letters and cutouts in your classroom. The first step would be to sort them. Cutouts can be sorted by season, theme or subject. You can have different binders for locking containers for seasonal bulletin board letters and numbers to keep them safely filed away until their season comes back around. For the kind of cutouts that are ‘evergreen’, which means that you’ll be needing them all year long, keeping them in a wall hanging pocket chart will make it easy for you and your students to access them.

Cutout sizes can determine the type of storage you will need. Binders with pockets are great for cutouts or letters of the same size but for assorted cutouts of different sizes, such as in a bulletin board set, can be stored together in a large portfolio with clear pocket storage page sleeves. Large foam letters may require more spacious containers than small plastic ones.
