At the beginning of every school year, I read a book to my students titled, The Junkyard Wonders. Now I know what you're thinking, junkyard? However, a junkyard has special parts and pieces that make something better than it was. That's what I want my students to always know. When they are apart of something, they make it better.
I teach at a Title I school in South Carolina where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Our school is located in the midlands of South Carolina and we serve approximately 800 students in our school, grades K4 through 2nd grade. I live, go to church, and teach in this community and have done so all my life. Many of our students come from single parent homes where often parents hold more than one job to make ends meet.
My Project
During the day, my students have to quickly get out folders, journals, notebooks, pencils, markers, and their tablets to participate in daily instruction. The students sit at tables with four students to a table, so these materials can become very overwhelming when they are all put into one bin.
My students need 25 Chairback Buddy chair back pockets to help organize their materials at their seats.
The chair pockets will help my students to have their materials at hand so that instructional time won't be wasted. My students will also be able to store their materials so they will not have to often get out of their seat. Chair pockets will be a valuable resource to my students to help them stay Organized While Learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
