My Students

We are learning about responsibility and keeping ourselves organized in our classroom. We do not have a whole lot of space available to us so being organized is the key to success.

My students are caring and love to learn, I just need some organizational tools to help make this easier.

With limited space we are running out of room for all of the items that we use daily in our learning.

My Project

We often use our carpet space for whole group and having clipboard holders will free up some shelf space for other learning resources. All of these resources will help our room to feel more organized and clutter free. We are in desperate need of new whiteboards, although we do tend to write on our desks when we are solving math problems. This will also help keep our small group area clutter free if we have designated places for our learning materials when they are not being used.

We have gotten a lot of great books from other donors and need space to put them the new shelves will come in handy for organizing learning space.

Teachers Pay Teachers is a wonderful resource where I can pick and choose different lessons to work on with my wonderful students. I can pick and choose supplemental lessons in any subject.
