My Project

These items, specifically the folders, will help the students stay organized. The yellow folders will be used to transport essential papers home to guardians. Having parents be involved in the student's learning is vital for the students' success. The yellow folders will also help students take home homework and be able to keep track of what needs to be completed. The blue folders will stay on the student's desk to eliminate crumpled and lost papers.

Students have a better chance of being successful if they are organized.

I would love students to treat all their work like masterpieces, and the use of folders will help them keep all their work looking nice! I am hoping to be able to use the fine-tipped markers to make words stand out when they display their work on the walls of our classroom.

My students are unique because they are in 4th grade, and this year can be a challenging year for students. I want to eliminate extra stress by helping them stay as organized as possible and become more independent.
