Organizing Materials

Help me give my students space to store their classroom supplies during covid19.

My Students

My students are very excited about being able to get back to school. They love doing working together with their classmates. They are aware that these are difficult times and want to be back to sharing time with their teachers and friends.

Many of my students receive free lunch from the Department of Education.

My students will have to adapt to social and academic challenges that require them to interact with each other and their environment in an entirely different way.

Many of my students are just returning to school after being taught remotely for a year.

My Project

The seat sacks will make a wonderful addition to my student's desk in order to help organize their materials during this time of covid19. It is very important for the student's to have individualized supplies and a seat sack is a great way to clear up space inside of student's desk and at the same time gives them additional storage space.

A seat sack would help my students to store their electronic devices at their tables in school, so that they can continue to work and practice their technology skills.
