From Chaos to Clarity

My Project

An organized classroom plays a vital role in supporting student learning, focus, and overall well-being. It also allows teachers to manage time and activities more effectively, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes and a more positive classroom culture.

Currently, our classroom feels cluttered, a mess, and causing us distress.

All materials in this project will help me improve organization in our classroom. My goal is to change the chaos to clarity. To bring calmness to the madness.

The storage bins will be used to store our manipulatives. My hope is to give our math tools a better home than what they have right now. The stackable drawers are going to be used to store crayons, markers, expo pens, and pencils. My idea is to house these items in one general area for students to have easier access to them.

Please consider donating to our classroom project to help us start creating a better organized learning space. Mahalo!
