My Project

I love how my students try hard to keep our classroom tidy daily. Part of my students' dismissal routine every afternoon is to clean their desks and area before leaving the classroom. The students look forward to sanitizing their desks and keeping them clean and neat daily. It makes them feel independent and like big kids. The chair organizers will help my students keep their desktops free of clutter and unwanted junk.

Working in a clutter-free environment will cause or promote academic success.

The chair organizers will allow the students to have easy access to homework folders, composition journals, books, high-frequency words, school supplies, and other essential materials with a chair pocket rather than trying to find or dig in a basket or backpack all the time. The chair backpack covers will help my students stay organized and prepared for daily learning.
