My Project

In the past, I have requested these color carts to store my students materials and use it as a way for students to easily access items they need when working in my room. I am once again requesting more, as the number of students I see daily has increased.

It is imperative to make reading accessible for students.

When they know exactly where their materials are and they feel comfortable to get them, they will be more likely to be engaged in their learning and take ownership. I truly hope that we are able to get these carts so that all my students can have their own place to store their reading and writing, and to access their reading materials.
