My Project

The items I am requesting are chairs. I switched grade levels last year and they moved me into another classroom. The only desks they had were rusty and old. They came with rusty, heavy and old chairs.

I would like for my students to sit in a place that is comfortable and clean.

The current seats are the metal blue chairs that are very heavy. The chairs are so heavy that I am nervous when the students lift them up for cleaning under their desks. I am asking for new chairs because I cannot afford to buy new chairs for my whole classroom but I know someone out there can. You can help provide a place to learn that will impact the students now and 10 years from now. Thank you for your consideration.
