I teach first grade in an early childhood school in Brooklyn, New York. The school is a Title 1 school consisting of Pre K through first grade. Many of the children are English Language Learners and more than 85% receive free lunch. Since we are a smaller school, we have a smaller budget. The classroom I am in is very small. There is not much space for children to move around, and it does not help that there is nowhere for them to hang their coats. They must hang their bookbags and jackets on the back of their chairs or on the wall. During the winter months it becomes difficult with winter jackets, boots, etc. The room is often very cluttered, and I feel the children should have all the space they need to move around and learn. I have found the perfect solution to create more space in our classroom. All 20 of my students would benefit from the Round Edge Coat Lockers from Lakeshore. These lockers would allow the students to have their own personal space to hang their belongings and it would give them more space to learn at their desks. Thank you in advance for your generous donation. I know all of my students will benefit from it.
