My Project

I just moved to a new school this year, and the classroom I moved into needed some serious TLC.

Students need pencils so they can do all of their work!

Also the classroom need some extra organizational space. In middle school we never seem to have enough supplies, especially pencils. As we get to the halfway point of the year, my pencil supply is running very very low.

We use binders daily in class, and I want to make sure they stay organized for students! A clean room helps student concentrate on what is important.
