My Project

I love the enthusiasm my young students bring to our classroom learning experiences every day.

Starting Kindergarten is a giant step towards independence for our youngest learners, and they quickly take pride in all the tasks that can complete by themselves!

Kindergarten classrooms have many materials and manipulative items that students use to learn important foundational Literacy and Math concepts. However, our classroom is not conducive to storing these materials in a safe and accessible manner. We need a storage unit that will allow students to safely manage and access all their materials independently.

This 30-section cubby storage unit by ECR4kids would allow my students the opportunity to access the learning materials they use each day, and foster cooperation and personal agency.

My students are always eager to help clean up, organize, and put away their materials, and having this storage unit for all their Math and Literacy materials would support their growing independence as well as their overall learning and development.
