My Project

Organization is key when it comes to learning. When it comes to the classroom, teachers teach students their own routines. In our class, we use our interactive journals routinely. A big way that I organize topics is by creating unit pages for each new lesson being taught. Card stock is very handy due to its variety in color and sturdiness.

Organization can help a student focus and therefore excel in the classroom.

Resources sometimes are hard to find. Card stock is one resource I need to fulfill organization in the classroom. With this, students will be more organized and be able to differentiate between different lessons/units. Legal size writing paper will help students when writing first drafts in all subjects.
