My Project

I would like to start this upcoming school year off right! My new students deserve to have a fresh new beginning for their 2nd grade year.

Organization is key for a classroom.

I want this year to run smooth. I would like to have a place for every thing. Whether it is for their crayons, pencils, or papers, things need to be in the correct place.

I do find that if everything has a place in the classroom, the classroom will look great and not cluttered. I hate to have messes so for me and my students, organization is key!
