Being Safe in the Classroom!

My students need to learn how to be organized and responsible! What better way than to have their own space (a mobile work organizer) to organize all their materials and supplies.

My Students

Safety is key. One of the class rules in our classroom is to be safe and to feel safe. Having an organized classroom makes the class move smoothly and decrease in problems. For example, students will no longer argue over whose pencil, workbook, or homework it is. They have their own cubby space!

Teachers not only teach math, reading, and writing.

We teach how to resolve problems, how to deal with anger, and so on. We teach social skills to our students. My students are learning how to use words and not their hands when communicating their feelings. They are learning to express themselves in a more mature and safe way when it comes to dealing with problems in the classroom. One of the biggest problems that I've noticed in my many years of teaching is how to keep a safe classroom. When you have an organized classroom, it prevents a lot of petty problems such as "that's my pencil or that's my workbook". Giving them their own space to keep their materials helps them to be safe and keep their stuff in check. In our classroom, we have big tables. There is no place to put their materials in. I give them big baskets for each table. This can cause a lot of problems. Please help my students have a place to keep their materials organized and help them stop the arguing

My Project

Please help my students feel safe by being organized. Give them the life skill in having an organized space in the classroom and feeling they have ownership of their own space. It's hard to have no desk space for each student. Would you help me in making this happen? My students need Mobile Student Work Organizers.

Be safe.

Be organized. Stress free. That's my motto in the classroom. Students are learning life lessons in the classroom. These are skills they will use for the rest of their lives. Help them live better and safe lives.
