My Project

My students are 5th graders who are developing independence as they switch classes throughout the school day. This transition requires them to manage multiple subjects, materials, and schedules on their own. Having personal responsibility for their belongings is an important part of this growth.

These students are eager to succeed and take pride in being prepared, but they need the right tools to support their organization skills.

This project will provide locker shelves so students can organize materials by subject and purpose. With designated spaces inside their lockers, students will be able to quickly access the correct materials for each class and keep their belongings neat and secure.

These shelves will support students as they take ownership of their personal lockers and daily routines.
