Classroom Chair Pouches for Second Grade

Help me give my students a place to organize and keep their materials!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Witczak's classroom raised $365

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year I am teaching a wonderful class of 20 second grade students who are so eager to learn! We have a much smaller class this year, but it has made it possible to get to know my students better.

I am asking for a donation for 23 classroom chair pouches in order to maximize time for instruction and discussion by eliminating the need for students to get up and retrieve their materials from around the room.

I am also requesting these pouches because the students have desks with no compartments for their own personal materials. I would love if my students could have an area in the classroom that is their own designated space where they can store their things! Thank you.
