We also use the file organizer to turn in assignments in according the class section assigned to a specific slot. I additionally used the hanging file organizer to have past assignments students may have missed the past week so that they can have a chance to make up their work.

They helped me open my packages and even gave me a hand to organize and find a home for the new materials. They were pretty excited to have new materials to help them with their projects!\r\n\r\nAs for our next steps, I plan to using the new materials to help my students with their upcoming \"Cereal Box\" project. In this project, students will make a cereal box and include \"ingredients\" that makes up a revolution.
