My Project

My students have lots of reading materials that they use on a daily basis. Teaching multiple sections of reading makes it necessary to have an effective way for the materials to be organized.

Making the students be responsible for passing out, collecting, and organizing their materials fosters independence and helps to maximize instructional time.

The students enjoy having classroom jobs, and being in charge of materials is a big job in our reading classroom. These baskets will be helpful for keeping all their materials organized and easy to access.

The yoga ball chair will be a great flexible seating option for when the students need a little movement. They work hard to learn and stay focused, and this seat will be a fun addition to the classroom to help when this becomes a struggle for them.

Thank you for considering to help us reach our goal.

Ms. Kwasniewski
Grades 3-5
