The seat backpacks have made a huge difference — they keep our Chromebooks safely tucked away when we aren't using them and help keep our tables neat and organized. This extra space has given my students more room to focus on their written work and activities. I can already see how much more comfortable and confident they are while learning. Your generosity and thoughtfulness mean so much to me and my first-grade students.
