My Project

By helping with this project I will ensure that every student in my class gets their own materials that they will need throughout the school year. The toolbox will hold pencils, erasers, crayons, color pencils, and desk pets that they receive for exceptional behavior.

This will not only help students with organization but also responsibility.

Students are accountable for the cleanliness of their toolbox. Also, they are responsible for not only their box but also the contents inside. This will also encourage independence when working on assignments inside and outside of the classroom.
