My Project

We desperately need some added organization and additional tools in our classroom.

Staying organized is an important part of making sure our routines and procedures run as smoothly as possible, leaving more time for meaningful instruction.

Help us reach our goal of adding organization and more materials to our classroom. A teacher desk is a must have for any new teacher and their students! Mobile bookcases are quite the versatile organizational tool and will help us to minimize time wasted searching for materials or all bunching up in one area at the same time! Additionally, we could use some more tools like markers and math manipulatives to aid in our learning. Baskets and holders will finish the job so that we can find everything we need.
