Organizing is Key

Help me give my students a way to organize their work with pens, books and clipboards.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sweeney's classroom raised $169

My Project

Help me give my students a way to organize their work. Each student has a bin for their supplies but they are already running out of pens, pencils and paper.

I would like each child to get a pen, a notebook and a clipboard to keep in their personal bins.

Many of my students struggle to stay in their seats for long periods of time so having a clipboard will allow them to sit in some of our flexible seating options and still be able to do their work. It gives them some freedom to move around while staying focused.
