Let Freedom From Clutter Reign!

Help me give my students a great way to organize their materials. Now that we have tables for the students, they would benefit from having these seat sacks to store their belongings behind their chairs!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Many of my students are English language learners and work well when they are collaborating in small groups. Learning from one another helps my students to develop skills that they will need as they continue their education and eventually enter the workforce. They come to school every day seeking a warm and positive environment, eager to learn new things in spite of the challenges they may encounter outside of my classroom. Every year I am inspired by my students to provide them with the best possible education and help them to achieve their best!

My Project

These chair organizers will give my students the space they need to store their belongings. Rather than wasting time looking for their materials, students will be able to conveniently access their supplies since they will be stored right behind their chairs. Students often lose their materials so these seat sacks will help to minimize these daily problems. Students will have easy access to their notebooks, folders, pencils, and more. This will make the transitions from one subject to another much quicker and cut down on the loss of instructional time.

Students will be able to spend more of their time engaged in learning activities!

Students' focus can be spent on growing as readers, writers, and mathematicians.
