My Project

Our Pre-Kindergarten classroom is one of the busiest places in the building. Many of the materials in our classroom are in boxes and bins that break or get torn easily because they are not meant to be used every day. The materials in this project are little kids tested and will hold up during everyday use.

Our young learners need storage bins and other materials to help keep our materials together and our classroom organized.

The cart will be used to store our Morning work binders and task boxes. The table caddies will be used for community supplies such as pencils, crayons, and scissors. We want our students to enjoy exploring in an organized manner.
