My Project

This project will give us a way to organize the classroom materials and equipment by showing responsibility and respect for the environment.

Students at this age are becoming responsible in daily duties such as cleaning the classroom.

They are excited for jobs and to keep our environment clean that we learn in on a daily basis. We have our sports equipment for recess currently thrown in a corner. This project will allow our room to have places to organize manipulatives, sports equipment, and other materials. All of this while learning to be responsible for our classroom.
