Shortage of Storage!

Help me give my students a place to store their items. Our classroom is limited in storage and having chair backs will provide a place for my student to store their items.

My Project

Our classroom is limited in storage. Students do not have desks to store their supplies and as a result, have to utilize their workspace to keep their items which causes disorganization and delayed transitions.

About 5 students share a desk space and having five sets of materials can make the space cluttered and disorganized.

Having a set place for items will make it easier for students to have things at hand and allow smoother transitions.

A whiteboard will assist in highlighting specific content in a whole group and small group setting that can be displayed for a long period. Also, because the boards are versatile, instruction can be conducted in various areas of the classroom.
