Also teach them to keep the area clean (dusting and sweeping), and to keep the equipment covered when not in use, if this place is more like what I would expect, which may not even have windows if it is rural enough. If the floors are dirt, cleanliness is even more critical, the floor needs to be hard packed. They will need to open things up and blow them out fairly often. Keep chalk boards away (often individual slates used by the children as paper is a premium).
