I was provided new grouping tables (half-moon) for my kindergarten classroom 4 years ago to implement seating for Guided Reading groups and Math stations; however, the chairs were not in the budget and the old ones are worn, coming loose from the metal frames, and do not fit the newer tables well. Our district is once again growing so that means more children need to fit comfortably in the classroom. With the old chairs I can seat 4 comfortably at a table. This year I'll need to place 5 and 6 student at the curved side of each table. Even though I am only asking for 24 chairs, they will be utilized by about twice as many students daily. Currently, our K, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders use the same size chairs. Many of the kindergarteners cannot even touch the ground when the sit in them. They are simply too big to fit my little students and their tables.
