Organize to Thrive and Impact

Help me give my students an organized and creative environment that meets the operational needs of the classroom such as small group management as well as dry erase board.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Payton's classroom raised $184

My Project

Organization is key to success. In my classroom I am going to use your generous donation to make sure that I provide my students with the wall content that is meant to engage and bring collaboration to the class with such items as the dry erase board and letters for bulletin boards messaging.

The small group management will provide a orderly way in which my students keep track of their days and material when they are in their small groups, which will help them take ownership of their learning.

My student will benefit from these items among the others listed, because it will help their learning environment be a place to collaborate and engage in a flowing transitional atmosphere throughout the academic day.
