My Project

With having second graders, asking them to do a task that required them to move from their seat to grab something, or pass something else if often time consuming, and overall takes time away from their academic learning. By having the back storage on their chairs they would be able to put their headphones, whiteboard, and any other free reading books for easy access! Through having much needed materials within their reach they will need less transition time, and more time for learning! The paper organization bins will help organize papers for students to access on their own and know where to turn for missing assignments, or work for early finishers!
