My Project

Organization is a vital part of creating a classroom that supports our first graders learning success.

Chair pockets will provide my students with a designated space to store their materials (much needed pencils, water bottles) keeping everything organized and within reach.

This small but impactful tool will help my students transition smoothly between activities, develop responsibility for their belongings, and maximize their learning time. The structure and accessibility these chair pockets offer will help them feel more secure and independent as they navigate their throughout our routines. Your support will make a big difference in helping my young learners stay focused, organized, and ready to thrive every day. The aquarium will provide our young learners with an opportunity to develop compassion and responsibility of others in our learning community.
