Seat Sacks For Independent Kindergarteners

Help me give my students the chance to become independent with their learning materials. Kindergarteners need Seat Sacks to store their books, pencils, and much more. Since they sit at tables there is no storage.

My Students

The students at my school are a diverse group of young strong minds. They are growing up in Harlem, a changing and beautiful community. They are curious and and open minded. Our school is a PreK-8th grade school full of siblings and generations of love.

In many ways they have the world at their fingertips; a swipe of the metrocard and they can see "the greatest city in the world." They've experienced a lot.

Like all children they are learning to process so much information and calibrate it in meaningful ways.

My Project

Our Kindergarteners will be learning so much this year about community and sharing. However, some learning materials will be individual so these sweet five year olds will also be learning about responsibility and taking care of their things. In my class, children sit at tables, not desks. So a seat sack on the back of a chair will allow just enough storage to hold a pencil, a dry erase marker, a small white board, and a few books for their independent reading. This little bit of responsibility for their own things will also save time for fun and learning AND space around the rest of the room.
