My Project

The magazine rack will hold all the Weekly articles,and read alouds. The storage containers will allow students to grab and go math manipulatives easily as well as other supplies needed.

By donating to our project you will help to improve each students' Independence, Responsibility and ultimately help to increase their desire to learn.

I would like for my students to continue displaying these positive traits throughout the rest of the school year. By creating a Student Center this will help my students continue to practice their individuality, independence, interest and choice of materials they learn and how they learn. This will also engage my students as leaders and decision-makers.
