Learning Fun

Help me give my students learning mobility and the organizational skills they need to academically thrive with pocket charts.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Currie's classroom raised $560

My Project

All of these students are MIGHTY fine learners. In first grade, we just need extra time to get organized and find the right learning space to succeed. They love to sit at our desks, but sometimes that can get tiresome, especially after a long, hard day. If these students could have the option to sit closer to the board to help them FOCUS they would THRIVE. With all the extra we will have saved using the chair organizers we can have more time for FUN! The organizers are going to allow students the ability to develop ownership over their own materials and therefore their own learning with pocket charts. These are skill that are MUCH needed in 1st grade.
