My Project

With flexible seating in the classroom, there is a need for students to store their materials.

In elementary school, students do not have lockers, but they need a place to store crayons, colored pencils, scissors, folders, journals, and much more!

I strive to enforce to my students the importance of being organized with their belongings.

With the storage boxes included in this items list the students would know exactly where their materials are and they would be able to take their box with them around the classroom as they sit in different areas to learn.

I have also included some manipulative and brain break activities that the students would enjoy. (They began to get bored with my options and offered suggestions for the 3rd graders next year.)

My students and I are grateful for any support!
