The drawers allow us to organize materials by student and activity, making it easier for students to understand what they are expected to do and what comes next.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting changes has been seeing our students begin to understand the center routine. Instead of waiting for an adult to tell them what to do, students are learning to go to their designated area, find their materials, complete an activity, and transition to the next center. For many of our students, this is a huge step toward independence! The shelves also help reduce visual clutter, which makes our classroom feel calmer and more predictable.","fullyFundedDate":1781030049355,"projectUrl":"project/organized-learning-spaces/10329829/","projectTitle":"Organized Learning Spaces","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gibbs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6440762_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557703085604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-asimons"},{"teacherId":718779,"projectId":10088144,"letterContent":"The arrival of these new chapter books and early readers has sparked an absolute reading revolution in our second-grade classroom!
