My Project

The binder system will make organization more accessible for all students, especially those who struggle to reach the current hanging folder holders. By providing binder shelving that is easy to manage, students will have a more efficient way to store and access their materials. This will reduce time spent searching for assignments and increase focus on learning. The new system will also help develop their organizational skills, fostering independence and responsibility that are crucial for their academic success. My primary goal is to create an inclusive and accessible classroom environment where every student can easily organize and retrieve their materials, regardless of their height. I aim to streamline our classroom organization, so students spend less time dealing with logistical challenges and more time engaged in learning. Ultimately, I want to instill strong organizational habits that will benefit my students throughout their academic careers and beyond. My students are a diverse group of young learners, each bringing unique strengths and challenges to the classroom. They are resilient, eager to learn, and possess a remarkable ability to adapt. Many of them face obstacles both inside and outside of school, yet they approach their education with determination and enthusiasm. Their willingness to overcome challenges and work together as a team makes them truly special and deserving of every opportunity to succeed.
