My Project

This bookshelf will allow me to put all math manipulatives (such as algebra tiles and counters), stationary items (loose leaf, graph paper, pencils, highlighters) and cleaning products (tissues, sanitizer, Lysol wipes).

Being in a Tier 1 school, students sometimes do not have the ability to buy their own stationary items or have access to learning tools at home to help them understand math to the best of their abilities.

Having this bookshelf, will allow my students to be able to easily access these items without disrupting other students while class is in session.
