My Project

Organization is key for any teacher, it helps with structure, transitions, and effectiveness. It eliminates time lost looking for supplies! Learning has many challenges, most of which is finding a spot for all the extra resources and supplies needed for teaching. These organizational tools, bins, and containers will be used to store art supplies, paperwork, and books.

Showing my students organization while teaching, by having materials used and returned to their proper location, the bins and caddies, will allow them to see how efficient and time-saving organization can be.

This will help them to model organization with their own learning materials at school. One of my main goals for this project is to have an organized art section in my classroom. With this organization, students can learn organization by example and our lessons will have very little time lost in transition due to the skill acquired.
