Organizing Success

My students need a well-built unit to organize the large craft paper we use throughout the year.

My Students

The key to a successful year is organization, especially when considering materials. Throughout my years of teaching I have tried to make all educational materials readily available to students, so they can easily access them and return them to their proper places.

The building I teach in is located in a small village.

Despite the small size of our district, the wealth of creativity and intelligence is unparalleled. My fourth graders are fantastic! Every year I am renewed when I view how imaginative they are. One of the downsides of education, unfortunately, is funding. This year, schools are receiving less money and class sizes are increasing.

My Project

Despite funding issues, there are ways to work with less money and more students. One way is to increase classroom organization; by being more organized, students will be able to access materials more quickly to complete the many hands-on projects we work on throughout the year.

Please help my students achieve their creative and imaginative potential.

This craft paper rack will be used for years to come and will show students what is available to them at a moment's notice to complete their academic and creative vision. Thank you!
