My Project

Classroom organization is so important. I want my students to know where their homework and papers to go home are stored. When you have a classroom routine with procedures the day goes so much smoother than without. I want my first graders to know exactly where their homework is and any extra notes or papers to go home. These organizers will give each student their own space to keep and store important papers. The fadeless paper will allow me to decorate the room without a worry about it looking dingy by December.
