My Project

There never seems to be enough time in the day to take care of the many things that need to be done. When students are in the room, it is time to play! Preschool students need time and attention to learn through play. When a classroom is organized and clutter free, it is easier to find what you need for each student and it supports an environment that has less stress.

Play is the priority in the classroom, not mess and clean up.

With the help of these materials, I will be able to better organize my classroom so I can focus on the important things, students! Classroom materials start to pile up when you do not have storage or organizational materials to store items. This project will help clear up space in my classroom, which will allow for areas to be more child centered and fun for students.
