My Project

Managing materials and papers in 1st grade is a challenging task. Students need to learn the skills to keep their materials organized and easily accessible. Teaching these skills early on will allow students to quickly locate the items need for a task, which allows for more time learning!

Organization is a life-long skill students will need to be productive adults.

The materials in this project will be used to help my students manage their materials. The black paper trays will provide a place for students to put folders and notebooks without allowing them to shove papers in the desk. The zipper pouches will give students a place to keep books. Finally, the racks will house the student computers. These materials are essential to a well run, organized classroom and we are grateful for your donation.
