A Clutter Free Desk is Key to Success

Help me give my students the gift of a clutter-free desk. Time is one of the most valuable resources these days!

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

Most of my 5th grade students have been part of our English/Spanish Dual Immersion program since they were in preschool. They are not only bilingual and bi-literate, but they are also multi-cultural. They can speak, read, and write in English and Spanish, and are able to communicate with people from different backgrounds and cultures. They are caring and respectful, and they are aware that being bilingual is an important skill in our society. I’m confident that our future is in good hands with such hard-working and thoughtful scholars. Their curiosity is contagious and I am honored to be their teacher this year. Fifth grade was my favorite school year growing up, and I hope they enjoy their last year in elementary school as much as I did, even during this COVID 19 quarantine and during our distance learning/teaching.

My Project

Please help me give my students the gift of organization with a clutter free desk. These super-handy chair storage sacks will be placed over the back of my students’ chairs. This will help them stay organized and keep their essential school supplies within a hand's reach.

Time is one of the most valuable resources these days.

Our school has recently returned to in-person learning, but unfortunately, I only see my students for two and a half hours each day and every minute counts. These chair storage sacks will help my students save time in class by helping them stay organized. Their books, workbooks, pencils, markers and other necessary school materials will be easy to locate and use.
