If this project is fully funded, my students will have a place to put their materials for the day. They have small storage space in the room to keep their things, but they are not within close reach. I want my students to be able to focus on the learning at hand. They won't have get up every time they need something new and they won't be distracted by others constantly moving around the room. Transitions in the classroom will go much smoother and our precious time will be saved throughout day. If this project is fully funded the students will have a better opportunity to focus and learn.
