My Project

I absolutely love how curious, creative, and capable my sixth graders are. They are full of energy, ideas, and potential, and I’m constantly inspired by their willingness to learn and grow—even when the school day gets busy and the transitions are fast. My students are also in a unique stage of development: they’re learning to be more independent and responsible, and they’re beginning to switch classes and manage materials in a way that’s new for them. That’s why this project means so much to our classroom.

The resources I’m requesting—heavy-duty chair pockets—will help create a more organized, focused learning environment for my students.

These sturdy chair pockets will provide each student with a designated space to store essential materials like folders, notebooks, books, and supplies. Instead of wasting time digging through backpacks or leaving materials behind in other classrooms, students will be able to access what they need quickly and easily. This simple solution will lead to smoother transitions, less clutter, and more time focused on learning.

My goal for this project is to support my students in building strong organizational habits while also reducing distractions and stress during class changes. With chair pockets in place, we’ll cut down on lost learning time and set students up for success as they continue to develop the executive functioning skills they’ll need in middle school and beyond.

What makes my students so special is their resilience and enthusiasm. They come from all kinds of backgrounds and bring different strengths to the classroom, but they all share a desire to feel confident and prepared. These chair pockets might seem like a small addition, but they’ll make a big difference in helping my students feel ready to learn every single day.
