These mobile carts provide designated spaces for essential supplies like pencils, crayons, scissors, and paper, reducing clutter and saving time that would otherwise be spent searching for items. Because they can be easily moved around the room, I can position them near student groups or learning centers, helping to minimize disruptions and keep students focused on the task at hand. This organization supports a more efficient learning environment, where transitions between activities are quicker and more seamless.\r\n\r\nBeyond organization, these supply roller carts have a direct positive impact on students' learning and personal growth. By making materials visible and accessible, the carts encourage independence, allowing students to take responsibility for gathering and returning what they need. This fosters a sense of ownership over their learning and helps build essential executive functioning skills, such as time management and self-direction. For my students who may struggle with attention or organization, the clear structure of a supply cart can provide a comforting and predictable routine. Overall, roller carts help create a classroom environment where students feel more confident, capable, and ready to learn. Thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1749080939147,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-and-supply-storage/9109977/","projectTitle":"Flexible seating and supply storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kelley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9487320_orig.jpg?crop=1902,1902,x0,y665&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709929757061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9487320"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57619","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":428,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":16,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.6,"schoolId":57619,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Charles W Sechrist Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Charles W Sechrist Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/flagstaff-unified-school-district-1/charles-w-sechrist-elementary-school/57619"}
