My Grab and Go Bin

Help me give my students the perfect storage bin to house their personal workbooks for math, reading, and writing. This system will streamline our time, making for easy retrieval and clean up. I love the plain black bins.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

These personal storage bins will help in my classroom run more smoothly and save valuable learning time for my students. I have tables instead of individual desks in my room. That means we have to store our materials on the counter, pass them out and collect them each day. This wastes valuable minutes of learning time. My students deserve a better system. I want my students to "Grab and Go" , making their day easy and tidy with their personalized storage bin so there's more time for learning. In addition, I will be able to reuse them year after year for great organization and time saving flow throughout the day.
