My Project

My students love to read and explore new worlds within a good book. Unfortunately, I don't have the ideal space to store all the wonderful books in my collection. With the bookshelves, I will be able to display the books in an organized way. This will also allow the books to stay in better condition and be able to use them for longer periods of time.

I will also use the cube organizers for students to have their own personal place to store their books and materials.

This will help keep the classroom organized and not so cluttered with students' items.

I have also asked for snacks as well. My students come from very low-income families. With free lunches, they are asking for snacks before leaving school. This will help them not have to worry about being hungry or help hold them over until dinner.
