My Students

I have a class full of happy 2nd graders. My 24 students live in California. All of my students come from a low socio-economic home. Many of them live in a multi-family apartment. The students in my class are eager learners. They try to do their best at any given task. My students are kind with one another and very respectful to adults. Our school provides after-school programs in order to keep the students save and busy while their parents are at work.

My Project

Organization is key in every classroom. It allows the students to know where everything must be placed after each use. The function of a classroom is dependent of where materials are placed for easy access for the students.

The classroom bins will allow my students to easily access materials.

My students will have a clear knowledge of where they can find their materials and also where to return them after each use. Organization is key in my class. Your donation will be greatly appreciated and will help with the organization of materials in the class. Thank you for your generosity.
