This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Do you remember sitting in class when the teacher asked you to get out an assignment from a previous day and you couldn't find it? I want to set my students up for success by providing them with organization skills in kindergarten that will last them throughout their years in school.

My students are from Northeast Houston.

They come to school excited to learn and work hard everyday. One of my goals is to show them how to be more organized, in order to help them be more successful throughout school. Most of my students come to kindergarten without ever going to preschool and some have never been away from Mom or Dad. The school environment is new to them and their success depends on keeping all of their materials organized. Organization is a skill they must learn early on in school. In kindergarten students are expected to learn how to read beginner books, fluently complete math facts and write readable stories. All of these tasks require different materials that students need to be able to sort between. These chair sacks will put students on the right path towards becoming autonomous and able to take control of their own learning.

My Project

Students will use these chair sacks everyday in class to hold books, folders, notebooks, as well as pencils, crayons, and erasers. Students will learn how to keep their materials organized by being responsible for their individual chair sacks. Each day in our classroom we transition between multiple different subjects including phonics, reading, writing and math. Students will be able to make this transition much more smoothly with all of their materials conveniently located on the back of their chair in one of these chair sacks. Transitions take up a lot of time in any elementary classroom. I am hoping to minimize transition time in my classroom with these chair sacks. Shorter transitions means more time actually spent learning. Every minute for my students is precious and the more minutes we can spend learning rather than transitioning will greatly increase their achievement.

Donating to this project will make a huge difference in my classroom by saving transition time and helping my students become more organized and self sufficient.

With these chair sacks we will be able to focus more time on learning rather than organization and transitions because these chair sacks will make organization easier for my students. My students will be able to organize their own supplies which is a skill they will use throughout their lives.
