It’s Bin Too Long Since We’ve Had New Bins!

Help me give my students new book bins to replace the old ones and making book shopping easy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sheer's classroom raised $179

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our classroom is an inclusive one, which means some of the students are high-performing general education students while others are overcoming various challenges as special education students. Some of these challenges include autism, speech and language impairments, and visual impairments.

My Project

Currently our students shop for new books from our classroom library once a week. It’s one of their favorite things to do. Depending on our unit of study they may borrow nonfiction books, poetry books, series books, or a favorite fiction story. The books our organized by level and genre.

Currently the bins that hold our fiction books are cracked and falling apart.

We notice the students don’t borrow books from these bins despite some great titles being in them! Who wants to pull out an old cracking bin that the books are likely to fall out of? I’m sure replacing these old bins (we purchased them from the dollar store six years ago!) with sturdy neon bins will attract the students to borrow from them!
