Organizational Materials for a Tidy Classroom

Help me give my students organization to make our classroom organized and productive.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cuzzort's classroom raised $307

My Project

As a middle school teacher managing 10 different classes, maintaining organization is crucial. My students need designated areas to submit and receive their work, and organization trays provide the perfect solution for this.

Additionally, mobile carts are essential for my students to store their binders and note-taking materials.

We take notes daily using different colored pens, sticky notes, and other essentials, and having two carts available in the classroom would greatly enhance this process.

Our classroom also requires basic supplies, such as staples and tape, for students to use with their notes and papers. Furthermore, a chair would be a wonderful addition to our reading corner, offering a comfortable spot for students to sit cross-legged while enjoying their favorite books.
