My Project

My classroom is in need of new comfortable, durable chairs that will allow my students to stay focused and engaged during lessons. At this time, many of our chairs are worn out and they are mixed in sizes making it difficult for students to sit and concentrate.

My goal for this project is for my students to be able to focus more on their learning with a comfortable seating setting that is appropriate for their grade level.

My students will have an enhanced learning experience by having comfortable seating. Instead of having rocking chairs or uneven sized chairs, they will find comfort in chairs age-appropriate for them. This will allow them to focus on learning instead of adjusting chairs.

My classroom is so special because it is filled with amazing students. Our classroom is small but mighty and it has been built on generosity and community. My students appreciate all that we have and they make magic in the classroom every single day.
