Coloring Our Little Minds

Help me give my students an arts and craft center for coloring sheets and the bins to keep center activities organized! The shoe rack will help keep iPads organized while they charge daily.

My Project

My students are striving from switching to a new classroom after the first nine weeks due to overcrowded classrooms and behavior issues. Our class is much smaller, which gives each student the opportunity to shine and grow! This gives me more one on one time for each student and they are shining from it!

They love arts and crafts and I keep multiple color pages available for center time.

The paper files will help keep all the color pages and construction paper organized. The color bins will help the students know which bins they can play with during center time. The shoe rack will help them have a place for their iPads and help them be responsible for plugging in their iPad every morning.

Thank you for supporting our classroom!
