My Project

Classroom teachers need to be organized. I need your help a support getting my classroom organized.

How can you help me stay organized?

The classroom bins requested will be used to store student activities and resources. They will be used during my independent reading and math blocks. Scholars will take a bin and select an area within the classroom to complete the activity. When they are done, they return the bin back to the storage holder. This allows for quick transition as well as prevents student resources and materials to be scattered around the classroom.

During my 15 years of teaching I have collected several books. Having a book shelf that displays the title of the books will be beneficial to my scholars. Having this visual display allows scholars with their book selection process. This style book shelf also helps me better display my themed books in a more organized manner.
