My Project

I was recently tasked with the classroom management tool of providing makeup work folders easily accessible in the classroom. This is now my school's preferred method. Upon looking at all the needed supplies(when I am starting with none) it is a little pricey. The hanging file folders and storage will help me implement this. Giving my students an easier way to find makeup work and be able to get it more efficiently.

I need your help to add this tool to my classroom so that my students can easily grab their missing work without interrupting a lesson or class time.

This will make missing work or make up assignments more accessible to all students.

The other things I have added to my list are to help me celebrate black culture within the classroom. Our school is 98% African American and I want to be able to showcase our history around my room but can not afford to do so on my own. Our students are regularly asking me about our culture and I think it would benefit them to see it represented more around the school or even in their classrooms. This will help provide and simulate an inviting environment that stimulates curiosity.

Please help me reach my goals!
