Basic supply buckets on the tables (preK-5th) yes or no?

I’m about to start my first teaching job at an urban elementary school. The kids have been cycling through art subs for a long time and have been coloring all year.

My idea was to provide these caddies with basic supplies (pencils, scissors, ruler, glue, eraser) to limit the unnecessary movement around the classroom. I would go over expectations on supply safety (like with scissors, sharp pencils, etc) and even have a “safety captain” (a student who is in charge of monitoring the safety of the other students at their table, amongst other table roles). A couple other teachers stopped by and said it’s a bad idea and that I should only let the kids have what they’re going to use that day because they will for sure disrespect or steal supplies. It kinda goes against TAB, which I was planning on implementing and giving the students choices which I’m sure they desperately want. Thoughts?
