My Project

My students are growing their literacy skills in my intervention classroom. I have 12 classes of students and each student is responsible for keeping track of their own work and data. We need a new method for students to keep their materials tidy and organized in our classroom.

I have requested 2 different colors of crates.

1 for my "A day" classes and 1 color for my "B day classes" Each crate will be for one small group of students to store their notebook and class folder in. Each notebook contains their daily work, and their folder contains the data as the progress through the semester.

We want to keep out folders and notebooks organized by class and in good condition and our current method is not working out as well as we hoped. I hope you are willing to help fund our crates to help keep our classroom tidy and organized!
