My Project
My students are bright, capable, and eager to succeed but fifth graders often struggle to stay organized. With multiple subjects, assignments, and handouts, many papers get lost before they ever make it home. This project will provide each student with a sturdy binder and labeled subject dividers so they can keep their work in order and take pride in their organization. These materials will help students manage their papers for math, reading, science, and social studies, and develop a lifelong habit of organization. Please help me to make their efforts more successful.
