I previously had 3 cube storage shelves in my classroom, but unfortunately it was broken this summer when the maintenance crew was moving it. I am going to have to use my classroom budget to replace it unless I can have the funds donated. For the last 4 years this cube storage has served my classroom and students in the way of personal and academic storage. Each student has a cubby of their own and they keep special items in, along with completed projects and flyers to go home to their families about special events. The cubbies also served as a main focus in our arrival and departure routines; drop items off in the morning when they arrive and check cubbies for items to take home before departure. This may sound typical but these two routines are critical for my students to feel comfortable in their school day. When students have consistent routines they know what to expect and in turn are able to navigate the school day with success! My students who have special needs in the way of ADHD, Autism, and Emotional Disorder thrive when they know what to expect and routines are kept as consistent as possible. These cube storage shelves were the catalyst for these routines and I am hopeful to have them restored as soon as possible for my students.
