My Project

We need storage to keep our learning materials organized.

Organization is an important life skill we can practice in the classroom.

I would like to teach my students that there is a place for everything, and everything has its place!

The requested bins, folders, and pens will help my students learn about organization and teach them that everything has its place. They will learn how to organize our classroom materials. Your donation will help them see how everything has a place. And, we will be able to find our materials easily when they are needed.
