My Project

I am about to welcome 28 new Kindergarten students into the classroom. Everyone will have their own space to learn and grow. Throughout the day, the students will be working on things that they can take home. Instead of the students shoving them into their seat sacks, I would love to provide each new student a mailbox to put their belongings.

The hard work they are doing at school should have a nice place to stay so the students can go home and show off their accomplishments.

Mailboxes will be a great tool to teach students about organization, taking care of their materials, and a sense of accomplishment that they have finished and place the finished work in a specific area.
