Transitions and organization are very important in a classroom. Both help the students feel comfortable and teach them how to be organized as they continue their educational journey. In fifth grade, junior high is just around the corner. With cubbies students will be able to keep their tables clear of supplies and notebooks when they aren't needed.
Studies show that, "Procedures are perhaps one of the most important aspect of a classroom as they help it run efficiently, give the students a sense of confidence and security, and help to prevent discipline issues" (Teach 4 the Heart).
As students are able to keep their workspace tidy and know where to put their supplies they will be more successful in their studies and the whole classroom will function better.
