My Project

The use of multiple basic supplies is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in science. The storage cubes will allow the students to be self-sufficient learners when they run out of a basic supply (glue sticks, highlighters, colored pencils) they can gain easy access to a new supply even while the lesson continues to move on. Teaching the middle school students about organization is a skill that I work on instilling in them daily.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
