My Project

It is time to get ORGANIZED! My room has little to no storage and I am working on organizing my center materials. These items will make it easier for me and my students to access the materials which will make it easier to learn during center time.

My goals for this project is to make the center materials easy and simple for my students to get out independently.

Center time is a great time for my students to learn and explore! I am hoping these materials will just make it easier for them.
