My Project

My classroom has been so fortunate to have flexible seating options for all students. However, with flexible desk space comes the need for organization and ownership over materials. My students need the ability to store and organize their daily materials, papers, classwork, and homework.

The requested materials will help students develop and maintain an organized work space as they move throughout our flexible seating classroom.

They will become more responsible for their personal materials and be able to quickly transition within our learning environment. Developing executive functioning abilities and organization are skills that will last my students a lifetime!
