My Project

My favorite part of our day is center time, which is when I get to meet with my students in small groups to work on targeted skills. During this time, my students are highly engaged in hands-on activities that help reinforce skills we are learning in class. It is important that center activities are well organized, clearly labeled, and easy to access so students can be successful.

This project will provide us with a center folder for each student to help organize their work as well as storage bins to store activities.

Currently, our activities are in Ziploc bags, pencil pouches, and random containers. This makes it confusing for students to identify the activity they are getting and difficult to access. Having appropriate storage materials will help streamline this time of the day for more efficient learning opportunities!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
