My Project

I am a first-year second-grade teacher and do not have mailboxes for the students. Providing them a space inside the classroom to put their papers, pass outs, and notes throughout the day will make the day much smoother when it comes to keeping papers in one place and grabbing their materials for packing up at the end of the day.

My students have a place for their backpacks outside within the hallway, so by having a spot for their papers within the classroom they will be able to keep their materials neat and organized!
