Welcome to The Creative Classroom!

Welcome to The Creative Classroom, a blog dedicated to all things creative for the classroom!

Once I had secured all the boxes, I wrapped the duct tape around the boxes not only as a decorative design but again to make sure the box wouldn't fall apart when it was holding 25+ folders. Lastly, I created small labels for each steps of the writing process and laminated them. Here's the final product:
