My Students

My third graders are always incredibly inquisitive and excited about coming to school. We have created a wonderful learning community.

Unfortunately, the majority of my students live in a neighborhood that is dominated by gang activity and racial unrest.

At age 8, many of my students have already been subject to the negative influences of gangs and violence. We are a Title I school with 85% of our students at a low-income level.

Most of my students will be returning to school for the first time since March 2020. This will be an anxious but exciting time for all. I can't wait to have a classroom full of these eager students and want them to have a successful year full of learning.

My Project

I am requesting 16 individual chair pockets to help store our school supplies. Thankfully, the school has already provided my class with 10 chair pockets but I would like every student to have one.

Having these chair pockets will help keep my students neat and organized to help them be better learners.

Students will have a super-handy chair pocket (storage sack) over the back of their chairs to put essential supplies right within reach and keep their desks clutter-free!

Each sturdy nylon sack has two easy-access pockets.

There is a small pocket on top for small supplies like scissors and pencils. Below there is a roomy lower pocket--in this big, reinforced pocket for their journals, workbooks, and work folders. Having their school tools at their fingertips will help with the fluidity of transitions throughout the day.

The storage sacks will provide personal, out-of-the-way storage; so my students can learn in an organized environment. My third graders will love having such convenient and accessible storage for their materials!
