My Project

Hello, everyone, My class has been struggling to keep all of the students' materials safe. These super cool pockets for our chairs would be super easy for helping to make sure we are ready for the day. Currently, we have a few that are kind of old.

Each year, we save our chair pockets for the next year, and some of them have ripped.

It makes my students mad because now they have no place to put their materials for the day. Anything helps, and we thank you in advance.
