Organization with Chair Pockets!

Help me give my students some organizational help! The chair pockets are a great tool for them to stay focused during their lessons while having their materials at their grasp with minimal interruption. Thank you!

My Students

This donation would allow our students to be organized and keep their Chromebooks from getting destroyed and off their desks. I am a proud teacher at a school with nearly 1,000, amazing, 5th and 6th grade students! Our students are incredible! They try their very best each and every day despite any challenges they may face in or outside the classroom. Our goal is to first prepare them for middle school and second to prepare them for the real world. Organizational skills are key in all aspects of life!

We are located in a very diverse area of Southern Illinois.

Many of my students come from unique backgrounds financially and culturally. I love ALL of our students!

My Project

The chair pockets are a wonderful organizational tool. If you've ever seen the inside of a 5th graders desk, you would know that these chair pockets are DEFINITELY needed to assist these kiddos with their school work. Organization is key and something we try and teach in fifth grade.

With your help, my students will be on their way to being successful students in no time!

Chair pockets will aid them in keeping their focus on the lessons while causing minimal interruptions in their learning. My students will be so appreciative of your help in making their school day go much more smoothly!

Thank you!
