Organization, Efficiency, Neatness - Keys for Learning!

My students need 27 chair pockets.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. David's classroom raised $375

This project is fully funded

I teach fourth grade at a Title I school in South Louisiana. I have wonderful students in my class who love to learn. My school is very dynamic and all of our 4th grade teachers work together to make one-on-one and tactile learning possible for our students. Despite some personal hardships, the parents of my students are cooperative, supportive and desire that their children receive the best education possible. Our desks are very small and the children are having difficulty fitting all of their books in their desks. Because their desks are so cramped, it takes a longer time than it should for us to transition between subjects because they have to take all of their books out of the cramped, little storage space in their desks to find the correct materials. I have found a SOLUTION -Chair Pockets! These are heavy-duty vinyl covers which slip over the back of a chair with a large pocket in the back for the children to store all of their workbooks! I will finally be able to give each child his dictionary and thesaurus to keep in the pocket as well! There is also a pocket for supplies! What is great about these pockets is that they can be used year after year. My children love school and they love learning; it makes teaching them a privilege instead of a job. My students have dreams of college and understand that an education is their way to success. I have tried to build relationships with my parents so they know that I will mentor the children throughout their lives, not just in 4th grade. I love my students and it is important to me that they succeed not only in 4th grade, but in life. I thank you sincerely for your kind consideration of my request.
