My Project

Students will need everyday storage options that can be used in the classroom to help brighten and organize. Children are going to need materials and designated spaces to keep their materials organized. They will also need to keep their hands and spaces clean as this is of the utmost importance. This will allow the students a colorful and organized environment.

Students will need somewhere to store supplies for centers and well as the different studies.

This will allow them to easily access and keep supplies at hand in their designated areas.

Keeping all children safe is truly important and imperative as we are in the classroom.
