A Classroom Where We Can Hear Each Other

Help me give my students a quiet place to exchange dialogue so that they can hear each other in the classroom during discussion. Students speak softly and a chair moving may be louder than they are.

My Project

Some students have sensory needs and chairs are noisy. Reducing the noises in the classroom increases the learning.

Students move their chairs often and the chairs are metal on tile floors, I am trying to make the classroom more quiet.

The tennis balls will increase the likelihood that the classroom will be more quiet. There are many distractions in the classroom. Reducing a few noises in the classroom will make a difference in the quality of sound in the classroom.

My students are from various socio economical homes. I want to encourage students to share their learning.
