Independent Task Bin Center for Title I School

Help me give my students the tools (shelving, storage boxes, etc.) to have an independent task bin area in the classroom. This independent task bin area will allow students to gain independent work skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ferlauto's classroom raised $1,522

My Project

I would love to make an independent task bin center in my k-2 autistic support classroom. An independent task bin center is where students follow a schedule, go over to a shelf with pre-made academic and fine motor task bins, take a bin and bring it back to their desk to work on all without any support from school staff. This will allow students to gain independent skills, better their fine motor skills and work an academic tasks.

This center will be extremely beneficial for my students who are working on independent living skills and academic skills.

The laminating sheets, velcro, colored pencils, paper clips will help make the materials for the task bins. The boxes and shelving will help store and organize the task bin center!
