My Project

I love to teach fourth and fifth graders to play recorders, but there are many things to keep track of during the recorder unit. Each child needs his or her own recorder to play with, and possibly one to borrow if they forget their own and leave it at home. When this happens, I allow children to borrow a recorder from the class set, which they leave at school in a labeled Ziploc bag to use again next time if needed. These Ziploc bags with recorders need to stay organized by class so I'm not digging through 50 recorders trying to find the right one, so each class needs its own milk crate to keep things organized.
