Keep Your Peepers on Your Paper

Help me give my students the comfort of knowing they can work in private on their assessments.

My Students

Traveling back and forth between schools can be challenging. I have two classrooms at both schools to support my students. Both schools are within five minutes of each other. This opportunity allows me to work with twice the amount of students.

My third and second graders enjoy hands-on activities, as well as getting the opportunity to be creative and explore the world.

We enjoy doing small group work and rotations. It is important for us to interact with others and get learning to come off of the paper.

While I can take some materials with me between schools, I need to leave other materials behind. My students deserve to have classrooms that are fully stocked with materials for their needs. I am a new teacher and working towards getting more materials for my students.

My Project

"Keep Your Peepers on You Papers" will help our class have privacy while taking assessments. My room is small and often has many students in it. We could benefit from having dividers. These would help us to make sure that everyone has space to work on their own.

Students can also use clipboards to move around the room to work.

This will give all of them more space. Some students prefer to work at a table or desk while others like to work on the floor. Students perform their best when they are comfortable. Thank you for all of your support.
