Help Us Start the School Year Organized

Help me give my students a place to store their materials and planners to organize our lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schrage's classroom raised $288

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 how to organize their materials. We are requesting book bin carts and planners so my students can become organized.

The students will have a space in the classroom to store their materials in the book bin carts and they will be able to refer to the planners to see the learning goals for the 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.
