Chairs for Success

Help me give my students chairs that do not distract them from their learning. All of the chairs in our classroom are cracking and mismatched. This distracts the most vulnerable students because it is a reading intervention classroom.

My Project

The students at my school work very hard to believe in themselves as readers. I teach reading intervention to students that have to have grit and perseverance because reading is challenging for them. Students come to my classroom ready to get to work and are often thrown off due to the broken chairs in my classroom.

I am requesting 12 new chairs for my students.

The chairs we have are all mismatched and cracked and problematic for kids. Often time transitions take longer because students get their skin pinched by the cracked chair, they don't want to sit in the broken one or they didn't get the "one they wanted" because they are all mismatched. This can cause their brain to lose focus on the task or already feel frustrated before the lesson even began.

I would love for them to have nice uniform chairs that seem "fancy and special" to sit in so they feel like "Powerful and important Readers".
