Help me give my students the gift of organization! These items will help us organize our non-fiction books, turn in tray areas, headphones, and more!

My Project

Organization is such an important life skill. I want to provide my students with resources to help keep our classroom organized. A messy classroom can be a distraction to students and their learning. Our non-fiction book collection is forever growing, so the book shelf will be a great addition to organize our collection. Student headphones are always getting lost or tangled, so the headphone stands will be used to help store them in a neat way. The shelving units will be used to hold turn in trays, pencil sharpeners, tissue, sanitizer, etc. All of these essentials need a proper home, and these shelves will be perfect for that!
