Purple Seats

Help me give my students new chairs to sit in during class. We are in the process of replacing some older chairs with these very eye appealing ones.

My Students

We are a Title I school district in a small East Texas community. Each of our classes consists of approximately 20 adorable fourth graders who come from all different backgrounds.

My students are highly motivated and love to be challenged.

All of my students are a very important part of the classroom. They do a tremendous job in supporting and encouraging their peers whenever needed. They make me proud to be their teacher! I can't wait to see their smiling faces every morning!

My Project

I am asking for two more of the purple seats that are slowly being replaced in my homeroom. I currently have a mixture of purple chairs (most popular) and some uncomfortable black metal ones.

Students will always seek out the purple chairs for comfort and height.

Please help me to start finishing out my room with all purple comfy chairs.

Although these seats won't help for at home learning, they will help the students sit up taller and give them the ability to see over other students in the classroom.
