Organizing Base Ten Blocks

I have spent way too many hours trying to figure out a nice and neat way to organize my base ten blocks. It sounds crazy, I know, to obsess over this but I did!
And I finally figured it out! 
I have 6 tubs - one for each table. When we use the blocks, each table picks up their tub from the math shelf and places it in the middle of the table for easy access for everyone at their table. It's quick and easy for the students to locate the blocks they need - no more digging for those tiny ones blocks. 
Clean up is just as simple too!

I use this clock during the first week of the Unit.
Students respond well to the color coding. We keep this clock in our math folders for a week or two and then I transition to the Mini Judy Clocks.

(Check back for the template - I need to scan the face of the clock, sorry)
