My students need some organization! We do the majority of our whole group learning on our classroom carpet. The carpet we currently have is extremely small. The students barely fit on it and constantly complain that they are squished.
Of course, this puts a burden on our learning time. We often have to pause lessons to regroup ourselves and figure out our spots. If the students had a larger carpet with designated sections, our time would be spent more effectively.
Some organization would help the learning soar in our classroom! When we are not on the carpet, we are at our classroom tables or in learning centers. These areas could also benefit from some further organization. The caddys we have now have cracks and are very flimsy. I would love for the students to be able to have new ones that are better quality.
The paper trays would benefit both the students and myself. I could pre-organize learning center activities in them. The table caddys would color coordinate with the paper trays to designate which center goes where. I think the addition of these items would prove to be a major benefit to our classroom!
