Help me give my students the opportunity to keep their materials neat, stay focused during lessons, and build strong organization habits for future success.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My first graders are enthusiastic learners who thrive in a well-organized environment. To support their independence and learning, we need sturdy, durable desk storage solutions. The Shirley K's T-163 Storage Bin will be perfect for helping students keep their materials—such as notebooks, folders, and pencils—neatly organized and easily accessible. With its large size and strong design, this bin will help minimize classroom clutter and allow students to quickly find what they need, keeping the focus on learning.
Having an organized desk space reduces distractions and encourages responsibility.
It also helps students transition smoothly between activities, which is especially important in our fast-paced first-grade day. This storage bin will benefit all students, including those who need extra support staying organized, such as our multilingual learners, IEP, and 504 students.
