Chair Pockets for Less Chaos

Help me give my students a new set of chair pockets and pencil pouches to hold their belongings.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shapiro's classroom raised $654

This project is fully funded

My Project

I had the opportunity to purchase our first set of chair pockets during COVID to help the students keep their belongings close to them and accessible. I love that the students are held accountable for their materials and they have easy access to what they need close to them.

I would like to purchase a new set of chair pockets and pencil pouches to continue to encourage organization and students being accountable for their belongings.

The new chair pockets I have chosen are sturdy, have an extra pocket, and coordinate with my classroom decor.
