My Project

Having a brand new set of chairs, will enable my students to focus better. Right now, we are short on chairs so we are bringing our chairs from our desks to the guided reading table and they are broken, cracked and even put together with tape. With the cuts in the budget, we cannot afford to buy new ones. The chairs I currently have were collected over the years by a previous teacher, who taught for many years. These new chairs will provide a comfortable place for students to sit for many years to come. All these children come to school to learn, especially my English Language and Special Education leaners.

Having somewhere comfortable to read and listen to stories is very important.

Many of our chairs are broken and need to be replaced. With all the budget cuts in the district, there is not much that the school can buy. The new chairs are different colors and they will match our guided reading table perfectly!

Safe chairs are a classroom essential. With your donation, we can make sure each child has a sturdy, safe chair to sit in each day. Please help us to have some great chairs for our guided reading table. All my students who are learning how to read, use this table, and should have chairs that are comfortable. We will be able to provide each student with one that is the correct height for fourth graders to sit in. Thank you for taking the time to read my project and please consider our classroom..
