My Project

A few years ago, I created a Donor's Choose project to purchase beautiful seat pockets that my students used. They worked great! Sadly, over the summer, they were destroyed by mold found throughout our school, and I had to throw all of them away. I replaced them quickly this fall with less durable ones. We're not even to the end of the year, and they are already falling apart. I want to replace them for next fall with the original, heavy-duty, high-quality ones I originally bought. After having used many different systems to help my students stay organized: cubbies, table totes, and book bags, I know that this method works the best. With these tools, I know my students will successfully keep their space organized and clean!
