My Students

Our classroom is a place where students are asked to think critically, explore, discuss, and create. In our classroom, you hear students encourage each other, ask questions, and help others.

The first graders in our class are hard-working and responsible learners with contagious energy!

They love learning (and laughing)! They are incredibly appreciative of the smallest gestures.

The students in our class engage in learning differently. Our classroom is not a one size fits all place. I want all my students to feel that they have the tools they need to help them be successful!

My Project

Every day, students use a variety of materials to support their learning. It is important that students have these materials at their fingertips so their precious time at school can be spent learning, collaborating, questioning, and laughing! We will use the Seat Sacks every day for several years to store and protect our notebooks and workbooks.

These Seat Sacks will help students practice and master staying organized while also ensuring that their materials are easy to access throughout the school day!

Organization is a critical skill for my students to learn. These chair pockets allow students to practice staying organized and responsible for their belongings. The opportunity to engage in these practices at a young age sets students up for success. Your donation to this project will be greatly appreciated!
