Collaborative work is extremely important to my 5th graders. They value working together, and are able to learn so much from each other. As an educator I also value group work, and know how much it benefits my students. This being said, rather than having desks in my room we recently switched to tables to make it is easier for my students to work together. However, with tables it makes it very easy for my students to misplace their hard work, and/or lose materials. It is so disappointing when a student has worked so hard on an assignment and then cannot find it because it got misplaced or thrown out. My students often get frustrated because they have so many different folders and notebooks all in different places around the classroom. With binders, dividers, and looseleaf, my students will be able to keep all of their important materials in one safe place to alleviate a lot of the anxiousness that comes along with switching from desks to tables. It will also prepare them for keeping their materials organized next year in middle school. My students will be so thankful and excited if this project gets funded. There will be less tears, anger, and stress over lost items and more time for work and fun!
