My Students

With a pencil sharpener and group storage bins, my students will be able to take pride in learning how to be organized. Research shows that students need to be taught organizational skills in order to be successful.

I have a class of diverse learners with diverse needs.

Some of my students are English language learners and some have learning disabilities. Each student learns differently but one thing that all students have in common is the need to learn to be organized. It will help them achieve success in school and in life.

My Project

Once my students receive their pencil sharpener and the storage bins, they will be able to do more writing as they will have sharper pencils. Also, it will eliminate the amount of time students will be getting up and down from their seats. The storage bins will allow them to keep their writing materials organized. The magnets will allow me to display their writing so that my students can be proud of the work they have done!

With the pencil sharpener and storage bins, my students will take pride in keeping our classroom running smoothly.

Each student will have the best chance at success with sharpened pencils, bins for writing, magnets for displaying work, and name tags for enrichment classes.
