My Project

My students love to help me organize our materials. However, I do not have adequate shelving to help with this. The shelving I do have is old and covered with inappropriate graffiti. I waste so much precious class time having to deal with redirection concerning what is written on the shelves.

Getting new shelves that cannot be drawn on or written on will make my classroom look much more organized and welcoming.

The sleek designs of the tiered shelves will make it so much easier to store all of the workbooks that accompany my curriculum. Since I teach three different grades, I have a lot of extra materials that go with each unit.

The storage cabinet with wheels will help keep materials safe until they are ready to be used. The lateral filing cabinets will allow me to keep the teacher materials I am currently using in a convenient spot.
