My Project

I am asking to get a rolling backpack cart for my kindergarten classroom. Right now, students are using the cubby in the room that just isn't big enough for a backpack, lunch pail, jacket, and their papers. Right now there is a level of chaos in the room trying to get everything into those spots.

A backpack cart will make our classroom more organized and less chaotic.

We will be able to leave our backpacks on the cart and roll it outside, saving valuable space. With this cart we will be able to implement our basket system where the student's work goes in the basket in their cubby, and then into their backpack at the end of the day. By utilizing this system it will reduce the time students will need to get into their bags and minimize classroom distractions.

Thank you for your support!
