My Project

Help me get my students organized with a variety of materials. The storage pouches will provide a safe place for students to keep books. The toothbrush holders will be used to store pencils for each student so they are easily accessible. The fabric cubes will house books for small groups reading at different levels. The iPad cases will provide students who cannot afford the fee we charge for cases to have a sleeve to transport their 1:1 iPads back and forth from school to home.

Help me give my students the organizational tools they need to be successful.

The buttons will be used to review important words or skills such as letters, sounds, and phonics patterns. The buttons allow me to record my voice, so I can change what they say as needed!
