Helping a Classroom Become Organized! (Part 1)

Help me give my students tubs and book bins to make our classroom efficient.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miller's classroom raised $426

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach in a Title I school in Northern California. We are located in a rural community within the foothills. My students come from low-income families, that are faced with challenges both in the classroom and outside of the classroom.

My first graders are energetic, full of curiosity, and love to learn.

They love to move and use hands-on learning to help them process new concepts. I set up a safe and supportive classroom that welcomes different types of learning.

My Project

The totes, containers and book bins will be perfect storage for all of our classroom supplies. The containers will ensure easy access and separation for all of our learning manipulative's. Our library will become efficient by placing all of our leveled library books into their new bins. The materials in my project will help organize our new classroom which will allow our day to run more smoothly.

Our school had a fire last year that destroyed about 10 classrooms.

The new building is being rebuilt right now and we are hoping to move into the new classrooms this winter. We are all very excited to get in and set up our new classrooms, and we are looking for help to create a safe, organized, and comfortable learning environment.
