My Project

I am looking to help my students stay organized in their learning. Fourth graders are fabulous, but they're incredibly messy! That means when I have students get out their materials it can take several valuable minutes just to get ready.

Time is learning and every minute is valuable and my students need to be organized and ready to learn!

If we had these crates in our classroom, students could organize their materials in an easily accessible space. The bins will help them organize their books, The plastic pots will help them organize their pens, markers and pencils. These storage/organizational items won't just help my students in fourth grade, they will help teach them valuable skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.

School isn't just for learning reading, writing, and math. In school we are teaching students how to be successful adults.
