Classroom Center Divider and Organization

Help me give my students peace of mind by installing a storage cabinet that would also serve as a class divider! We're big on centers for our Autistic students in order to practice important skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vargas's classroom raised $586

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These two items are paramount to our classroom set-up, especially for organization and division of our classroom. Since we have moved into a new classroom, we have had to replace certain pieces of furniture due to dry rot, mold, or student behaviors when upset.

By having the storage cabinet listed, we will be able to create a division between our social-emotional center and cooking center.

We will have additional space to hold necessary classroom supplies and define two separate spaces in the process.

The plastic bins will be used for student notebooks, sketchbooks, as well as workbooks. Our incoming students are profoundly Autistic and require routine, organization, as well as structure. I believe this will be part of a recipe of success in our classroom for the incoming year, as well as future years.
