My Project

As our schools only 3 year old teacher, our daily materials and school supplies look much different than what you might expect from a typical elementary classroom. Instead of paper and textbooks, my students come to school with blankets and nap mats, extra clothes, and diapers or pull ups for those still not able to use the restroom successfully. Unfortunately most of these items are bulky and require a large space for storage when not in use.

While our individual cubby boxes are essential for all of my students to store their things, for a select few these boxes might be the first time a student has had a space all their own that didn't need to be shared with a sibling or family member.

Currently our classroom has a set of collapsible storage bins that are in serious disrepair. Many of our bins are torn or bent and all of them look like they are on their last leg. I would love to be able to refresh our cubby storage area with some new boxes that will allow students to take pride and ownership over keeping our classroom neat and organized.
