Storage Materials for 7th Graders

Help me give my students safe places to store their stuff so they can focus in class

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Downey's classroom raised $656

My Project

Students built a reliance for emotion regulation with smartphones during the pandemic, which has impacted learning. I want to create a calm space in which students can be free of distractions to focus on their learning. I believe classroom setup is crucial in this. Also, with 30 students in a room, 30 backpacks take up a lot of space that inhibits my ability to walk around the room, making sure that everyone is focusing. Therefore, these storage cabinets will be incredibly helpful in ensuring everyone can do their best work.
