Sitting Pretty in Our Room (Over-The-Seat Organizers!)

My students need At-Your-Seat Storage Sacks as an organized way to store school supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zapata's classroom raised $353

This project is fully funded

My Students

Pencils and books everywhere! We need a good system to organize the supplies in our classroom, so we can make learning more efficient and effective!

Our school is 40% Latino, 15% African-American, 15% White and an amazing mix of other backgrounds and cultures.

Many of our students are English Language Learners and over 75% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. We live in San Francisco, California.

My Project

We are looking forward to having all materials at the tips of our fingers! This means saving time by avoiding kids walking around the class, getting off task and wasting time. We imagine an efficient classroom, with materials and resources at hand.

This will make time and work much more effective in our class.

As we are a 4th and 5th grade classroom, these years of learning are very important. My goal is to have kids grow by at least one and a half years in reading and writing.
