Keeping Us Interactive and Organized

My students need Post It Tabs, Post It Notes, composition notebooks, Sharpie markers, and a 10 drawer organizer to help keep us organized and interactive learners during our reading and writing time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Deegan's classroom raised $274

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are an urban school with a large shelter (homeless and/or domestic violence) population. We have a very high mobility rate and rarely have a student who has gone to our building for grades kindergarten through sixth. This means we have students with a massive range of skills and experiences.

As a staff, we know that our students can succeed if given the opportunity.

We provide a wide range of services including food, clothing, and school supplies, pantry, health care services, and tutoring, both during and after school.

My Project

We do many activities where we need to be very interactive. By interactive, I mean that we have our notebooks organized into sections to help keep our thinking and learning in an orderly way so we can easily access any information we need. By doing this, it takes a lot of materials to keep us organized.

Of all our materials, our Post-its and composition notebooks go fast.

We also need a central place to keep our materials for our interactive notebooks organized. Right now, they are in separate containers in various places around the room, which makes it hard for us to always find what we need.

We keep all our learning in our notebooks. It provides a central place for us to look at what we were thinking and learning throughout the year.

The tabs help us easily see each section of our notebooks for easy access and the Post Its and Sharpies help us take notes while we are reading. We use those notes while reading so the students can write letters to teachers so we can clear up any confusion they might have. Please help us become more interactive and organized in our learning!
