Back to Basics Organization

Help me give my students a classroom that is set up for their success! On my list you’ll find basic supplies, to classroom specific organization for both students and teacher.

My Project

A learning classroom is one where students can feel inspired, comfortable, and confident. I love to see my students grow as scholars, and when paired with the right tools they can reach success. We are a Title 1 school and funding an we low. I’ve curated a list of items that aid in creating a creative, well organized space.

You’ll find basic classroom supplies we use daily in our science space, (pencils, makers, white boards etc…) to student supplies organization materials (bins for lab supplies and materials) , and finally teacher organization supports(standing desk and organizer).

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
