My Project

These classroom essentials will get the year started right! The file boxes will be used to organize classroom books so that students can easily find books that are related to what we are studying. The file organizer will allow students to have their classwork returned back to them in an organized way that does not take away from class time.

The classroom rug will allow the students to meet and collaborate comfortably.

I can't wait to start this year off on the right foot.

Thank you for considering this project for your donation.
