Classroom Materials for First Graders!

Help me give my students chair pockets to store our curricular materials! My students have tables with no storage. These pockets would help us access our materials quickly to minimize transition time and maximize learning time!

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 Project

My students need storage space and art materials to express their creativity!

Storage pockets would be a game-changer for my first-grade classroom, helping to keep the space organized and functional.

These pockets would provide an easy and accessible way for young students to store their supplies, such as pencils, crayons, scissors, and notebooks. This minimizes clutter and ensures that materials are always within reach, reducing distractions and maximizing learning time. Additionally, storage pockets can teach students responsibility by encouraging them to keep their items organized.

Right now, my students are using a shared bin, with drawers that often break. My students deserve clean, organized and efficient spaces to learn in!
