Help the ESL Students Stay Organized

Help me give my students books, 3 ring binders, binder dividers, pencils, markers, highlighters, and easel paper to create a learning environment in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schrage's classroom raised $313

This project is fully funded

My Project

Since my students WANT to learn to get organized, you can provide the materials for me to hook the students and teach them. We are requesting 3 ring binders, binder dividers, pencils, highlighters, markers, chart paper, and books so my students can become organized.

The students will have a binder, divider, highlighter, white board marker, pencil, read aloud book, and chart paper to complete their English assignments each day.

The students will then have a space to call their own in the classroom, and they will learn they must put their materials in their space instead of all over the classroom. Each student will learn the importance of keeping their materials organized.
