My Project

I am requesting a tall bookshelf to hold student binders and learning materials. Currently I am using tables that can better be used for student use. I am also requesting hooks and stickies to display learning materials on our walls. Nothing sticks to our walls and I need strong materials to keep them up. Last, the calculator organizer will help keep track of our materials and ensure we have enough for each student every day.i can clearly see if a calculator is missing and I can quickly know who didn’t return theirs with this organizer.
