My Project

My students are elementary age. It is important for our classroom to be organized. Everything must have its place. This makes a big difference in making the classroom operate like a well oiled machine. It increases instructional time. It also facilitates responsibility. The students become leaders by knowing what goes where and how to take care of the tools needed for learning. (The folders will be used next year.)

Having these items set up and ready to use on the first day of class will help because procedures and expectations can be put in place from Day One.
