Seat Pockets

With the help of my mother-in-law's superb sewing skills, I created seat pockets for each student desk in my classroom. I have five rows with five student desks in each row labeled with a number and a letter A1-A5, B1-B5, C1-C5, D1-D5, and E1-E5. I gave each row a different color seat pocket. I've found that this is an efficient way to form collaborative groups based on any data (MAP scores, high-low reading levels, personality, etc). All the kids know is that they are in the purple group or is an A or a 4 that day.

I think that I ran across a company that makes a similiar product.

Is that document camera in the background an ELMO 700?

Comment by Shelley Reichert on April 23, 2010 at 7:41pm: Yes, I saw the Aussie Pouch in a catalog once, but they were too expensive. With my mother-in-law's free labor, I paid less then $1 each for mine. Yes, that dinosaur in the background is an ELMO 700....I've had it for several years now and it's still working fine. I would love to upgrade, but it's not in our school's budget. :)
