Organize and Conquer

Help me give my students organizational tools to be self sufficient and successful!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These organizational material will help my students become self sufficient in the classroom. My students will use the storage carts to get center supplies and materials without interrupting teacher directed reading groups. They will use the yoga balls to have fun seating throughout the classroom. They will use the markers to help edit their writing while working with peers on the writing journal created using the binding machine.

I want my students to learn organizational skills that will help them become successful and independent throughout their life.

Obtaining these material will definitely set them on the right path to success.
