Mrs. Nielson from Delta UT is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Being Organized is Being in Control

Help me give my students an organized, inviting classroom. A mailbox system will give students a place for their materials, other organizing containers will provide a place for our learning materials, and decor will foster an inviting environment.

My Project

My students will begin the school year in a new school. This is also my first year teaching. I am excited to learn and grow together! I want to have a classroom students are excited to come to.

An organized class sets the stage for a better flow to learning.

These items will help organize our classroom supplies and daily content. It will allow for better management and preparation. The timers and wireless doorbell will also aide in managing our time and transitions.

Class decor also can create an inviting environment. I want to bring the outdoors inside with a mountain theme. Having plants will add to the atmosphere as well.

Lastly, I want students to- at times- move freely in the classroom as they work. A class set of clipboards will help as students experience math, science, and social studies in an interactive way.
