My Project

Please help provide my first grade classroom with reading curriculum organization and display materials. A well organized classroom is important for lesson planning, preparation, and execution. Literacy materials need to be easily accessible and orderly.

Weekly literacy curriculum materials are used by students, need to be durable and well kept for many years.

The portfolio bags are for organizing the weekly unit story cards and vocabulary cards. The cards do not fit in typical size folders. The bags will help store the decodable readers by weekly units for students. The shelves are for book display. The folders are for filing student practice pages.
