My Project

I am a firm believer in small groups and learning centers. At times, the work assignment carries on into the next school day. My classroom is in dire need of places my students can store their work and then retrieve it for the next day when it's needed again.

I have created this project in order to purchase storage that is easy to use and easy to store, when in use and when not in use!

The drawstring bags will allow my students to make sure all classroom materials are organized and can be easily and neatly packed away. The pencil pouches will ensure students can easily find and access the proper instruments needed throughout the day. My students travel around the building for special classes such as art, music, gym, swim, library, and computers. The reusable grocery bags will be used to transport materials and supplies when traveling to specials. This organizational storage will help my students to be more successful in their academics. These supplies will tremendously help our school day flow more smoothly!
