My Project

My students are eager learners who want and need a comfortable learning environment. The current classroom chairs are mismatched, various-sized chairs with parts that pinch skin and catch on clothing. Students complain about the chairs because they are ill-fitting and hurt when they pinch or scratch as they sit down to learn.

New chairs will create a safer, more comfortable learning environment so students can focus on learning.

Students won't be distracted by uncomfortable chairs that are hard to sit in because parts fall or seats that wiggle and turn. New chairs won't catch or tear clothing or pinch. What a relief!

Chairs are so basic and yet so necessary to a calm, well-functioning classroom. My student will greatly appreciate them and use them for years to come.
