Organization for Productivity

Funded Oct 31, 2018

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you deeply for choosing to fund our project. It has made a great impact in how our classroom functions and organized it is now. It has helped us fulfill the major need for our classroom, which was organization to increase our productivity.

It was exciting to see the reaction of my students when they walked back in the classroom and saw their new caddies with all the materials already provided for them in the table. There was also an excitement to see that we had a timer in the class. The kids were anxiously waiting to see who the first person in charge of the timer would be. They were also glad to see that our workstations would be in bins instead of plastic bags that we had to be constantly replacing.

The most impactful resource in our classroom is the timer we received as a gift. We are using it daily and multiple times each day. One of the things that I struggled with was using our time wisely and the students had issues completing their work in a timely manner because we did not have a visual way of keeping track of the time. The caddies have also been used to organize and ensure students have all the materials needed to complete their work. The caddies provide crayons, scissors, glue and pencils readily available at all the tables. The bins provided are being used to house our workstations. They are labeled with numbers and they know which bin to grab and where to take it. They know when the time is up that all the materials need to be placed back in the bin and back to their shelf. It makes my job easier to see what they need and what needs to be replaced.

We were provided with resources that allow us to organize our classroom and our time management in order to have a productive classroom. Thank you very much for funding our project and providing resources so that my students will continue to work to become better readers and writers.”
