My Project

These organizational materials will help me create and maintain a welcoming, safe environment for my Pre-K students. During our fast paced, very busy and often loud school day, materials in the classroom can easily wind up stacked on a countertop to be dealt with later. The two cabinets will allow us easy access to needed materials throughout our school day. Clear, stackable, storage bins and pocket labels will provide an excellent and accessible organizational system. A paper organizer will give children the ability to easily choose and take the color paper they want independently.

Classroom organization supports the structure and routine for young learners.

My students thrive with structure and routine! These materials will support a classroom where they can easily learn to independently take care of our classroom materials and create a space that is easy to maneuver in and ready to play and learn in.
