My Project

Organization within a classroom shows students how to be efficient and organized adults. As teachers we are asked to model things that can ensure our students grow into contributing citizens later in life.

In our building, we have been blessed with amazing closet space but we lack organization.

These totes will help students identify where the materials are that they need for the day and the ability to prepare for the day independently. This organization system will also help us as teachers to be efficient and spend more time doing what we love...teaching and building relationships with our students versus searching for materials.

The students are one of a kind. They leave their regular home schools to come and learn all Missouri learning standards but through the lens of agriculture. They work so hard to ensure our animals, facility, and plants are cared for. They give us their best everyday and we want to give that back to them.
