My Project

I am once again joining some awesome kiddos on their journey in middle school. This year I am teaching all 6th graders; therefore there is a need for some serious lessons on organization and responsibility. My focus with these kiddos is to set them up for success for the years to come. I want to make sure I give them all the tools and spaces to be successful, well adjusted middle schoolers.

This project provides a large cube storage unit, basic supplies, and bins for organizing their math notes.

I know these items will go a long way in helping these young people get their mind focused and their schoolwork organized!
