My Project

My goals for the materials included in this project are to help my students to have a space that is organized with their materials and learning supplies that they are easily able to access to maximize their learning experience.

The students will now be able to easily go to the new storage cubbies and find their specific task box without time being lost trying to figure out what to do.

The plastic pouches are great for doing math/reading games that need a sheet to slide in and be protected.

The journals are a great addition to the classroom because it gives the students somewhere to keep all their writing work together in one place. As a teacher, there are always things that need to be laminated, so laminating sheets come in very useful.
