My Project

Starting a new school year is always exciting for first grade students and myself. Having a new backpack for a student is exciting too. In our classroom we do not have much closet space for backpacks. We have tried putting the backpacks on the back of the chairs but they always fall off. Having a rolling backpack storage will be more organized and cleaner. The children will also be able to put their lunch boxes on the bottom of the cart. Having it on wheels will be better be cause we can roll it outside if needed.
