My Project

I would love to give my students this organization rack to neatly hold all of the manipulatives they use. Right now, my materials are around the room, due to limited space. I would love if they could all be in one place!

I plan to use this organization rack across all content areas to ensure students have access to materials.

In reading, students will be able to access the tools they need to learn and reflect. In math, students will be able to have hands-on learning experiences at easy access with dice in dice and board game pieces.
