My Project

After spending half the year with my class there are a few things that will help our classroom function better! Choice seating, a genius idea for white board materials, geometry set, and storage baskets round out this project!

Managing student materials can be a tricky endeavor, and can sometimes take precious time from our instructional day.

When I found these dry erase boards that hold markers and erasers all in one system, I had to get them for our class. All materials in one spot? Genius! This is the bulk of this particular project - and this upgrade will surely save us time!

I've also included a geometry set, our class enjoys stem bins and this set ties in great with our geometry unit on solid shapes where students learn difficult vocabulary including faces, edges, and vertices. Finally, I don't think teachers can have enough baskets to store projects, assignments, tasks, materials, and more. Thank you for helping our classroom get the goods for an amazing upgrade as we finish the second half of the school year!
