My Students

My students bring such joy to my life, and I am thankful to be their teacher. We seriously have some of the best students in our small town elementary school. I know that every school and every teacher says that, but I know just how amazing our students are.

We are over 60% free or reduced price lunch, but together our community, parents, and staff work together to get everything we need.

I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

By having nice storage options, like the carts, pockets, and drawers from Amazon, my students will be better prepared to learn by having a nice organized work space in our classroom! My students are constantly losing pencils or misplacing notebooks, because of having no organized work space! The students will know exactly where to go to get their pencils or notebooks and where to put all finished work!

Organization not only boosts confidence but also promotes independence.

By giving my students storage for their materials, and teaching them how to organize, they will be confident in the classroom and know exactly where they can go to find the resources that they need. This will also promote independence and teach them responsibility as well.

The bins from Lakeshore will help organize the books in our classroom library. The boxes from Kaplan will keep our headphones, writing journals, WIN journals, and school library books organized. The pencil sharpener and scissors will allow my students to be successful everyday in the classroom by giving them the resources that they need. Some of the drawers/carts will organize students everyday materials, while others will organize their STEM materials.
