My Project

I will be teaching a wonderful group of second grade scholars. They are ready for any challenge because they have a love and passion for learning new things. The chair pockets will help keep their materials organized. The have new desk that have no storage space. If scholars are organized and not have to look for material this will help them with getting materials needed for each subject. They will not waste time preparing for instruction during the day. The pocket will be very beneficial to hold what is needed.
