Chairs to Promote Literacy

Help me give my students new chairs that are sturdy, safe, and will help support their literacy!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Randhawa's classroom raised $3,863

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need new classroom chairs to replace the old and damaged chairs we are currently using. Students constantly complain that the chairs are uncomfortable, making it harder for them to focus on the content being shared by the teacher or the assignments they are working on.

It would be amazing for my students to walk into an inviting classroom and feel comfortable in their environment, a classroom where the chairs are safe and colorful and promote learning!

This project will help me provide my students with new chairs. The new chairs are lightweight, so my students can easily move around during their small group rotations. The new chairs will be a hit with my students. As a teacher, part of my job is to keep my students comfortable so they can have the best learning experience possible
