Organized Chaos

Help me give my students bins for our shelves and library to help keep our room neat and organized.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Irby's classroom raised $393

This project is fully funded

My Project

Pre-Kindergarten classrooms can be chaotic if systems are not put in place. Teaching students how to maintain and care for our materials teaches ownership and helps develop pride in keeping our space neat and clean.

The materials in this project will give our students access to all of the materials in the classroom while teaching them to put things when center time is over.

Students will be able to see the materials in the clear bins and place the item on the shelf with the matching pictures. The book bins will also use to group books by author and theme.
