Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I would like to order my scholars 3 drawer storage containers to keep their materials within reach, and organized.

Students deserve a way to organize and have a spot of their own to keep their items to make learning and engagement more efficient.

Showing my students proper organization while teaching, by having materials used and returned to their proper location will allow them to see how efficient and time-saving organization can be.

The organization shelf with drawers will help with center rotations and keeping everything in its place. This will help them to model organization with their own learning materials at school. With this organization, students can learn organization by example and our lessons will have very little time lost in transition due to the skills acquired.
