My Project

I am moving back into the classroom after nine years of being an English Language teacher. When I first left the classroom at the age of 24, I had no intention of coming back. So year after year, I gave away all my classroom teacher things to brand new and returning elementary teachers at my building. Well, now I'm back and have no things to speak of. I am in need of a way to organize everything in my classroom.

Our district supplied classroom is empty upon arrival with the exception of desks and chairs.

I am asking for a class set of book bins to be able to provide them to my students. This way, all students have equitable access to their education. We will use them during independent work time throughout the day to organize our books, practice materials, and anything else we need.
