Music Class Materials for Organization and Efficiency

Help me give my students a learning environment that is organized and efficient! These materials, such as the storage bins, will help students know where to put their things. Class writing utensil sets will make distribution quicker.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rap's classroom raised $480

This project is fully funded

My Project

These items vary from organizer bins to classroom sets of writing utensils to a visual timer. All of these items will help my classroom operate more clearly and smoothly. Bins will help keep classwork in a designated spot that the students can access themselves and help to keep each classes materials separate and organized. Writing utensils that are organized by color will make distributing materials much quicker and more efficient.

All of these items will contribute to a more organized and efficient learning environment.

Our routines and procedures will be more effective which will, no doubt, result in more opportunities to experience and learn music!
