My Project

I know that an organizational request may not seem glamorous, however, it is so crucial that a classroom not be cluttered and disorganized. The file cart is a replacement for the old metal filing cabinets as we are trying to be more digital. However, there is still a need for paper files and this will work perfectly.

My students thrive off of routines and structures.

These organizational systems will keep me on track and in a routine. The drawer cart will house our math games and reading centers making it easy for students to access their own learning materials in a routine driven way! Thank you for considering funding this project!
