Like all things clean up has to be taught. Walk
through the clean up process with your
students....practice it. Most times students do not
know how to clean brushes, trays, tables, etc. They
need to be shown. Do not assume they know. Labeling
things where things go is also a good strategy. Take
pictures of your areas "clean" so students can compare
and contrast if they have properly cleaned up. They
can make the decision if they have done a good job on
clean up by referring to the pictures. Write down on
posters the rules for cleaning and what must be done.
Just some thoughts.
