My Project

Students are required to bring a crate from home to keep their supplies that don't fit in their desks. These crates are placed under their chairs. The kids rest their feet on them, so they get chipped and torn apart. A lot of my eight year old students have a hard time with organization. If we have one bookshelf per table for their supplies it would be easy to find the correct resource needed for the activity.

Having a separate bookshelf would cut down on wasted class time trying to locate lost binders and books.

Also, it would create a safer floor space. Students and I sometimes trip over crates on the floor. The bookshelves would create a central location and hopefully, nobody would hurt themselves on it.
