My Project

My classroom has 28 students and a lot of supplies. Our new reading program has a ton of books and paper to give out, while for math we used folders, journals, whiteboards and more. Housing these materials is a challenge with such a large number of students. I want our room to feel organized and accessible and having smart storage solutions can help us achieve this. The white board unit has storage for all of the supplies we use on the carpet, while the small storage unit can keep all of the stickers we give out to the students that show great effort in class. Please help our class become more organized with smart storage solutions that make sense.
