Help me give my students the proper space to store their ELA Textbooks and workbooks! The desks our district provides are too small to keep textbooks inside. With ECR4Kids "12 Cubbie Cabinet" we can store all our student materials!

My Students
Our sixth-grade students are very diverse and have a lot of personality! At this age, students are "awakening" their "adult minds" and asking all the questions they can. It is a lot of fun to work with students in this grade-level, because they have a lot of opinions and ideas, as well as curiosities.
At our school, we have lots of cultural capitols and we focus on working together and supporting each other as a community.
Many of our students tend to praise and recognize one another on a regular basis, and often, the "new kids" are immediately "folded" into the existing social structure, gaining a family of friends in an instant. It is a real joy to watch them interact and explore as they mature.
These kids are at the "top of the heap" this year, as they finish elementary school. They start the year with a lot of confidence and bravado. That turns to nervousness and worries later on, as they begin to realize they will have to learn a whole new school and daily routine the next year, as they enter Middle School! In June, they will cry, but we tell them to come back anytime!!!
My Project
Please help my students get organized for "Back to School" with a sturdy, "cubby" cabinet! We have lots of cabinets in our classroom, but no dividers small shelves to keep student materials separate and organized.
The desks our district purchased for 6th grade students will only hold one textbook, one workbook, one notebook and a folder, but each student is assigned 4 textbooks and 3 workbooks - This makes organization of materials a big challenge for our students.
I have tried several solutions, but none have truly worked well, and some books were still damaged. With this "ERC4Kids" cubby cabinet, I can place the unit inside one of my large classroom cabinets, creating a divided space for each student "team" to store their textbooks and workbooks. This way, no books or workbooks will get bent or torn, and each team will be able to easily pick-up and organize their own materials throughout the school day.
This will not only protect our materials, ensuring they last for future students, but also reduce the number of times students need to sort out stacks of books each period. Help us get organized, stay organized, and save time for maximum learning!
