Calypso Chairs Take 2

Help me give my students the rest of the new Calypso chairs for the classroom. We are still sharing the first order of chairs and it would be nice for every student to have the same ones.

My Project

When we received the first order of Calypso Chairs, I thought we were getting a whole class set because the numbering on the chair order was confusing. We have a total of 8 chairs for a group of 22 to 26 students. We take turns rotating the new chairs because each student wants to get one of the new chairs to sit in. So, now that I know better, I am hoping that you will help me get the rest of the chairs so that each student gets their own. They truly brighten up the music classroom and also help with the student's posture when having to sit forward on the end of the seat for singing or drumming. I love seeing the way my students smile when they get their turn in the new chairs and hope that every child in class will get to smile at the same time.
