My Project

My students are the joy of my day. They are the very image of excitement for learning. They come in wanting to know the answer to their main question, "What are we learning today?" In an English classroom, students are required to have a lot of materials. Our school is very limited in classroom storage. I want to be the teacher that can solve the school-related issues for them when it comes to classroom storage.

The students are constantly misplacing their materials, these storage solutions would solve this persistent problem.

I'm constantly hearing students say, "Where is my book?" Having these storage solutions will solve this issue forever. These items will help me to be able to store materials for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. Please help our students to become more organized! Book trees and storage shelves would be a great asset to our English class and will end the question of "Where did I put my stuff?" or "I lost my stuff". Animal Farm is one of the novels that my students are required to read. It's not only a good book, but having a classroom set of books will allow my students to be able to read in class and also cover a full lesson. Thank you in advance for making our classroom project come to life.
