My Project

These storage containers will help us organize our new classroom and keep it neat and tidy! Additionally, the storage containers are child friendly, but also click closed, to keep things clean and avoid spilling the contents everywhere. The folders help us to keep our papers that need to go home and come back neat. I will be moving into a new classroom in the fall and it needs some new storage! Please help me get my first graders organized and provide the ample storage for my incoming first graders for 2024-2025!
