My Project

I am in need of some new organizational materials for my classroom library. I have added a front-facing book shelf to organize leveled readers, book bins to break up Lexile-leveled books as well as stackable storage bin to store tasks. I have also added a new set of white boards for whole group and small group so students are independently practicing and maximizing their instruction time. I have also added a small group whiteboard for my small group time to be able to functionally teach my lessons on a white board.

I am a second year teacher and am still adapting my classroom everyday as I find things that work best for me and my students to ensure they are getting the most out of their education.

Any donation or contribution is greatly appreciated.
