My Project

Third graders tend to struggle with organizational skills. We have very narrow desks with limited storage space. I plan to use the larger tote bags hanging off their desks to hold extra books and white boards that don't fit inside currently.

This will save us time from having to grab items off the shelf every time we need them.

I'm hoping these bags will keep materials within reach and maximize time on learning.

Also, our classroom is safari themed, so these safari scented pencils and animal party balls will be a great incentive in our prize box for positive behavior!

We are an inner city school with a diverse population. My students will utilize these items and truly appreciate the materials given to them.
