Keeping Our Desks Clean!

Help me give my students chair pockets that don't have holes in them and stapled readers!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hammock's classroom raised $289

My Project

My class is working so hard at learning how to be at school all day and stay organized. I am asking to get some replacement chair pockets for my class. I tried to get a new class set at the beginning of the year but it didn't get funded. I have had mine for over 5 years and they are starting to fall apart and get pretty gross. I wash them every year and try patch as I can.

Keeping our desks cleared off, makes it so the students can work without piles of things in their way.

These chair pockets will at least be able to replace the ones that are in the worst condition.

We are constantly switching activities every 15 minutes or so to keep them engaged so we have a lot of different materials we use each day. I print 6 different sight word readers a week. Having a stapler that I can keep in my room instead of sharing it with all the teachers for a school with 500 plus students would allow me finish my job in my room and not have to stay in the workroom.
