Building a Thinking Classroom Organization

Help me give my students a place to store their group marker, eraser and some whiteboard spray.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Becky Bistrow's classroom raised $184

My Project

This year we are building a thinking classroom (Peter Liljedahl). Through this new methodology students will work together on whiteboards and build not only their collaborative skills but their critical thinking and problem solving skills.

After only two weeks in this new practice I already see a VAST difference in they way kids are working together and learning together!!!

However, our materials are being scattered around the room. We need a place to keep the materials close to the shared whiteboards that are around the room. Please help us stay organized!
