My Project

Year after year things go missing and we struggle to have the appropriate space for our children to access materials. When working in a small group or during independent study, we allow the students to get the materials they need to ensure that they are successful. A few years ago we were given a work space (a table) however it lacks storage to put anything in.

Our children need a place where they can go and get what they need.

By providing this storage unit for out table it'll allow the kids to have access to multiple materials during their independent studies. Independent studies are for children to access material at their level, a level that may be different then the grade level. This storage unit is exactly what we need for our kids.

Thank you in advance to supporting our classroom. We appreciate it!
