It was a joy to see their faces light up as they realized they would have a dedicated space to keep their tools ready for learning.\r\n\r\nThe impact on our daily routine has been immediate. Each student had the choice of which materials to store in their organizer, allowing them to free up much-needed space in their small desks. They spent time carefully deciding what to store where, which gave them a wonderful sense of autonomy and ownership over their learning environment.
