The hooks make it super easy for students to hang their backpacks right when they walk in, so they're not scattered all over the floor.

Now students have a place to keep their books, folders, and supplies instead of cramming everything into their desks or leaving it all over the place. It's helped them stay more organized and focused because they can find what they need without digging through a pile of stuff.\r\n\r\nBoth the hooks and the shelf have really helped the overall flow of the classroom. Clean-up is quicker, transitions are smoother, and the whole space just feels more structured.
