My Project

Help our class organize the classroom for multiple subjects and classes. We have three classes that come through the room daily and switching between two different subjects in the room. This causes us to need to stay organized so we can find the correct things when needed.

65 children, 2 subjects, 1 classroom and a need to stay organized.

We have books, supplies, science labs, and then some. These students practice responsibility as part of our school's PACK PRIDE expectations. They are also to become independent in being able to solve problems and find the things they need around themselves. This project will allow everything to have a home and be easy to find, and to be put back.

Grades 3-5
