An Organized Room is a Happy (and efficient) Room!
My students need label maker, storage crate, and pencil sharpener to organize supplies and streamline our classroom procedures while keeping our room clean and safe!
Help us get the most out of our school day! If we can be more organized we can start lessons faster, find things we usually lose, and then have more time in our day to do hands-on activities to make our supplies go further.
We are a very low income K-5 school in a small town.
Our classes are very large and resources are limited. We are classified as a very low-income school and try be as resourceful and creative as we can. We have some basic supplies but need help for the special extras that really help students excel. Our school is absorbing students from another school that closed and 2nd grade alone is gaining 2 extra classes this year to share supplies with. Help us stretch them out as much as we can!
My Project
I am requesting a label maker that will help organize our centers and manipulatives to make them faster to find and easier for my students to access throughout the day. We are changing our curriculum to be more hands-on and we'll need to keep them as organized as possible so we can keep them nice and reuse them as long as possible.
The crates will be used at the end of every table to create a mini-bookshelf to store commonly used books, counting chips, rulers, crayons, paper, notebooks, whiteboards, etc. so we have quick access during lessons. The last item we are requesting is an electric pencil sharpener. This will add a little fun to our day, but, most importantly, will make our crayons last longer and be one less supply to worry about replenishing.
These few items will help our class be more organized, and therefore more efficient.
Anything I can do to speed up processes allows me to do more with the kids then I would be able to before. Whenever they have to get out of their seats to get supplies for the next activity we lose at least five minutes and I'd love to be able to avoid that and give them more learning time!
Thank you! Keep an eye out for Match Codes that will make your donation go even further!
