My Project

Last year we really struggled with our binders. I collected them over time from other classrooms, friends and family. On top of that, we made our own dividers! And it worked for a while - but most binders ended up being too small, our dividers kept falling out, and so we struggled to stay organized.

As students transition to middle and high school, organization and learning how to study are some of the things students admitting they needed more support with and so students need the binders now so they are set up for success later!

We also have terrible lighting! So I was hoping to provide some string lights, night projector, and other additional lighting support to help give students' eyes a rest from the cold overhead lighting; as well as, some prizes, candy, and snacks for students for when they achieve a personal goal and to make sure students aren't struggling to learn while hungry!
