Help Keep Us Organized!

Help me give my students a place to store all their materials and their books! These cube organizers would be perfect for storing out items! We have tables in kindergarten and need some shelving to store our things!

My Project

Our kindergarten classroom is in need of more storage for all of the student books, supplies, learning materials, games, white boards, math manipulatives and sound trays. We do not have desks in Kindergarten, just tables. Storage for all of our classroom items is difficult. These cubes would add much needed shelving in our classroom for all of our supplies. It would also help the students keep their items more organized once they have a space designated for everything!

Imagine a classroom where everything has its own space and the students will be able to find everything they need quickly so time will not be wasted looking around!
