My Project

As Middle School Students, they can be seen as unorganized and rambunctious, but at their core, they need structure and organization to be able to succeed. I've always had organization bins to keep the structure of the classroom, but they are now falling apart, and as their teacher, I 100% believe that the reason why my classroom stayed as organized as it was was due to these bins.

Being Organized = Being Prepared, and for students to feel prepared and ready for the day, their teacher should provide the supplies needed to ensure that they stay organized throughout the school year.

Which is why I am requesting these organization bins, due to their sturdiness to last for years to come, to help keep my students organized throughout the school year, and to make sure that the supplies they need are in one area of the classroom, rather than floating around their book bag, never to be seen again! The folders are where their resources, given to them, will be placed based on the Student Assigned Number for their Class Period, so that they have something to refer back to! They will be able to have everything in one area of the classroom to go to, to have the supplies and resources they will need to succeed for the day, week, month, and year!
