They are currently beginning writing of their own fractured fairy tale. Once complete, they will draw their own fractured fairy tale main character and create a STEM challenge for their character to share with the class.

This level of organization has not only saved valuable instructional time but has also helped students take ownership of their materials and responsibilities.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new storage system in place, they were genuinely excited. Several commented on how \"grown-up\" and professional the classroom felt.

One memorable moment was watching a student lead a group clean-up effort after a project, proudly directing classmates to the correct bins and shelves.\r\n\r\nWith everything in its place, we can focus more on learning and less on searching.
