My Project

Many people are unaware that teachers are reaching into their own pockets daily to provide the students with things to meet their basic needs. I love to give my students diverse, fun, and exciting experiences daily, but sometimes struggle to balance what I can afford. I have been teaching for 7 years now and have put off giving myself a successful organizational system that will help my classroom run more smoothly while giving me back some of my time.

Right now, I have so many items, games, toys, and supplies that I would like to store neatly.

The board game organizer and bins will make items easily accessible to my students and will also help me remember what I have from year to year. I am currently using storage bags, and broken tote bins. It would make the day much more seamless to have easy access to materials if my storage was seamless. Thank you for considering to donate to my small classroom.
