My Project

In order to learn, my students need a clean and organized environment. One way that we keep our classroom clean is by using wipes at the end of every day. This helps to teach students that they need to clean up after themselves not only at school but at home. In order to learn we also need to keep organized. Throughout the school year, students complete many activities based on worksheets. These worksheets need a home. That is why I am asking for the large accordion folder to help me keep and maintain student work. This work will be able to help me keep track of the progress that students have made towards their IEP goals and classwork. Another way that we keep a organized classroom environment is by creating a moderate temperature. Unfortunately, our room does not have air conditioning. Therefore, I am asking for a fan to keep our space cool.
