My Project

This project would bring organization and sanity to our classroom. Our classroom is on the smaller side so I try my best to utilize the space we have.

These drawer containers would allow my students to store their materials within reach.

My idea is to place one of these at each of our desk groups, so that each student can quickly access needed materials. Our curriculum encourages a lot of partner/small group work so access to materials will help the transitions run smoothly. The students can grab what they need and move into their groups with ease. I feel these drawer organizers will also minimize the amount of lost items.

The colored pencils and colored pencil sharpener will be used for many things including within lessons; such as when we do "painted essays". As you can guess as we move in to March, these desperately need to be restocked.

We appreciate your time and considering this project and our class.
