RE: tye dye

You can also wrap the shirts in newspaper before putting them in plastic bags; this prevents the dyes from transfering to other parts of the shirt.

As far as classroom management, I've found (and I've only taught tie-dye at camps) that it goes fairly quickly. Before you know it, they'll have nothing to do. If you can, take up part of the hour talking about color mixing, or different patterns to do and demonstrate them. Have extra dye made up (are you using squirt bottles?) so you don't have to run to make more.

wear the rubber gloves even though they're a pain...and kids don't want to.
I had a mother go ballistic one year when her daughter had dye on her hands!
I also use tarps to put a multitude of shirts on and to cover for overnight.
