Our school is nestled in a small town in North Carolina. We are a community Title I school with about 450 students and have a growing ESL population. Students at our school love learning and take pride in being a CHAMP Cougar!
Our first graders are amazing risk takers who love to learn.
Speaking, listening, reading and writing are the foundational building blocks on which all other learning is built. To provide instruction in a meaningful way we use a variety of resources, including rigorous text discussions, accountable talk, small group reading instruction, book clubs and whole group mini-lessons that focus on common core standards. Considering that our physical building is over 40 years old and the curriculum is constantly changing, some of our materials are out of date and our basic supplies are in high demand. Students in first grade grow by leaps and bounds, both personally and academically.
My Project
In our classroom we have tables for the students to sit at. Tables are wonderful because they allow children to sit together in an environment that promotes cooperation, sharing and team work. However, tables provide no storage.
Students need a neat and organized way to store the materials that they use daily.
Right now students' materials always have to be stored in baskets or cubbies away from their tables. This wastes a lot of time and someone is always accidentally getting the wrong supplies. Seat sacks will provide each child with their own space to keep their supplies right where they sit!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
