With these funds I will...Help me organize my students' supplies because this year I decided to not have desks and have tables instead. I did this because I know that group work and discussion is an essential component of learning and understanding. It's only been 13 days so far and I already see the benefits overwhelmingly. My only problem I am having is storing the students' supplies. I have buckets on the tables but they are hard to keep organized and the students are getting their supplies mixed up with one another. They are also taking up valuable table work space. The seat backs will allow each student to be able to house their own supplies on the back of their seats. They are a bit expensive and I have gone back and forth with the idea of purchasing them out of my own pocket.

I feel all students desire an equal learning experience. Every student desires that. These children are our future. Please help me help them.

My district is small with a very tight budget where our schools have been hit hard and we are down to the bare bones like many districts. This makes it hard to be able to get supplies needed for the classrooms to make them run smoothly. View the list here - http://www.reallygoodstuff.com/cart.aspx.
