Create an Organized Learning Environment

Help me give my students seat storage sacks to organize their table spots and give them a sense of personal space in our crowded classroom.

My Project

I am a first year teacher and our classroom environment and transitions would improve with these seat sack organizers. Currently we have baskets that do not fit all our materials, we don't have enough of, and take up a lot of space. These seat organizers would allow us to have more efficient transitions, create personal space for each student, and free our tables of unneeded supplies and distractions.

I need your help to provide each student with their own personal space in our packed classroom.

Keeping 33 nine and ten years olds organized is no easy feat. We lose instruction time having to pass out and collect various workbooks during the day and tables are crowded with sometimes 4 students worth of materials and an over flowing basket.

Ms. Sam
Grades 3-5
