My Project

My third graders love writer's workshop!

This rotating shelf would help my budding authors organized and keep all of their writing materials in one single place.

Being a writer requires many supplies. We have writer's notebooks for collecting ideas, folders for developing and drafting stories and articles, different color pens for brainstorming and editing, reference materials for proofreading, and papers, markers, and colored pencils for publishing. The shelf's small footprint wouldn't take up too much space in our classroom and its rounded edges make it safer should anyone bump up against it.
