My Project

Currently the students house their materials on one large shelf that is easily disorganized. Students keep their materials in a book box so they can move their math materials where they are learning. With new shelves, the materials will be kept in multiple places in the room. This will alleviate all congestion when students are getting their materials for learning.

The shelves and bins will help us become a more organized classroom.

The bins will help keep materials for each math unit easily accessible. This will allow the teacher and students the ability to find and use materials easier.
