I have 26 first graders in a small portable classroom with five rectangular tables. Needless to say, we are cramped! There are at least five students at each table. These tables need to house our supplies, reading books, notebooks, and various materials used throughout the day. Often times my students do not have ample work space because of all the things on their tables. Not to mention the elbow bumping! The "At Your Seat Storage Sacks" will greatly improve student focus and allow them to have all their materials close by. Donating to this project will help our classroom seem less cluttered, allow my students to feel comfortable in their space, and increase accessibility to materials that otherwise would be stored on shelves. The lack of space in our classroom is something we work around everyday, but the seat storage is an easy way to help our little room feel bigger. Thank you so much for reading!
