My Project

Thank you for considering this project for tennis balls for our chairs.

Managing the noise level in a classroom is imperative for an effective learning environment and reducing the sound of the chairs scraping against the tile floor would be very helpful, especially for my special needs students.

I've tried other methods to reduce the noise level of our chairs and tennis balls seem to work the best. The only downfall is that they need to be replaced every year. Students and teachers alike appreciate the lack of noise from our chairs.
