Teacher Aides are wonderful!
Using a small room to store equipment keeps things accesible.
Label the shelves, have a whiteboard for reserving equipment and releasing your teacher aide 10 minutes before interval to receive equipment students return and check its all OK makes for good management!
Keep a box for misplaced pieces and at the end of the term make a good effort to find the right container.
Organising for the new year.
It is a good idea to have a central resource area for all the equipment your team share.
This is a great cooking trolley with cupboards for equipment and a good working space on top for cooking.
Remember its a good idea to laminate a list of equipment that should always be on this trolley.

Emotional Intelligence.
-from recent Edutopia release:
http://www.edutopia.org/social-emotional-intelligence-learning-education
"Emotionally intelligent individuals stand out. Their ability to empathize, persevere, control impulses, communicate clearly, make thoughtful decisions, solve problems, and work with others earns them friends and success. They tend to lead happier lives, with more satisfying relationships. At work, they are more productive, and they spur productivity in others. At school, they do better on standardized tests and help create a safe, comfortable classroom atmosphere that makes it easier to learn."
Discovery Time provides an excellent environment where students can develop positive relationships.
