My Project

Organization is key in any successful classroom.

The classroom mailbox, rolling storage cart, plastic storage cases and communication folders will keep class work, homework and small group materials in order.

The mailbox will be a place for scholars to collect and return assignments. This ensures students are getting credit for hard work without misplacing it. The rolling cart is color coded and will correspond with each small group. Students will have a place to gather their materials and to be successful for seamless small group instruction. The communication folders will replace our existing ones that have with been damaged or lost to ensure that school and home communications remain strong.

These organization tools will keep us on task, focused and keep order in our classroom.
