My Project
In my happy, very busy third grade classroom, we are lucky enough to have beautiful new tables (instead of desks) to promote teamwork and collaborative learning. But without desks to store supplies, I'm finding that student tables are usually cluttered with supplies, no one ever seems to have what they need, and necessary supplies are often lost. Additionally, shared materials for a table group can be unsanitary, disorganized, and need constant replenishing, with no accountability for lost or damaged supplies.
My goal is to create an organization system to ensure that my students always have what they need, are responsible for their own tools and materials, and learning is not disrupted as students look for supplies.
Above all, I want my organization system to be mostly student-run!
I would love to provide chair-back pocket organizers so students have all their supplies -- including workbooks, folders, clipboards, independent reading books, and dry erase boards -- organized and within reach at all times. This simple organizational tool would encourage personal responsibility, ownership of learning, accessibility for all students, and increased time on learning tasks.
The pouches I've selected are sturdy, washable, and would be used by my students for years to come. I am currently requesting enough for half my class, to test them out and determine if they truly help solve our organization dilemma. Thank you so much for considering donating to my project!
