Creating Independent Learners in Organized Environments

Help me give my students an organized classroom where supplies are within their reach, giving them more control of their learning and environment with things like the rolling organizing cart and storage cart.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me provide different ways to organize the classroom and create more independent learners. Through the things in this project, I will be able to give the students direct and easy access to all kinds of materials, allowing them to become more independent and have more control of their environment.

When students have direct access to all the materials they might need they become more independent and can work without interruptions since they can easily access all materials.

When students are able to have and be part of an organized classroom they feel less overwhelmed by the clutter that surrounds them, and they are able to focus better and concentrate without all the clutter around them while at the same providing a structured environment.

Through these organization materials, I will also be able to better organize my small group centers cutting down on the time needed to prep and organize the student work.
