My Project

My class is always eager to reorganize and help me to create a classroom environment that is neat and orderly. I believe students need to learn the skill of organizing and reorganizing. I have been trying to create the perfect classroom environment for many years. Each year I try to add one new organizing tool.

Students need a place to keep their classroom supplies.

I started using tables 3 years ago. I love not having desks and using tables where students can work in teams. However, my biggest challenge is having enough space for them to keep their folders, books, pencils, headphones, etc.

This cubby will keep my students supplies in a smaller space. I am currently using book shelves which would be better used for books, and my classroom manipulative's.
