My Project

I am requesting these items to help make our classroom neat and tidy, while teaching the students to clean up after themselves. Students these days are always rushing to get things done and some are not too good at cleaning up after themselves.

Putting the Fun in Functional is my idea!

The students love having classroom jobs, so having storage options for our everyday items, like this literature organizer and the storage pockets, are crucial. Our classrooms were recently equipped with dry erase/magnetic boards. They are really nice, so having magnetic holders for our papers and dry erase markers and supplies would be great.
