My Project

I truly believe that the classroom gives off a vibe that students immediately absorb. It has always been my goal to have an organized classroom where unused supplies are kept tidy inside cabinets. Unfortunately my classroom has very little storage and boxes, bins, and materials are piling up everywhere.

A chaotic classroom makes for chaotic students.

My students are kind and sweet and deserve to have a classroom space that reflects their amazing selves. With this project I'm hoping to acquire a large cabinet for storing materials neatly that will ensure that I can get students the materials they need quickly without having to sift through piles.

This will also help students to learn from my example of tidiness and organization. Finally, I am projected to have an additional 5 students next year and would like to make use of as much space as possible for student desks -- getting materials organized into a cabinet would be truly beneficial!
