My Project

I would like to make my high school math classroom more comfortable for students to sit in. Currently students sit on hard plastic chairs for a majority of their day, and I would like to purchase office chairs that will make the room more comfortable and welcoming.

Sitting in math class for over an hour is taxing for some students and I am hoping this will enable them to relax more and hopefully be more focused on their learning.

Currently in our small town school resources are limited, but I am hopeful that we are purchasing new tables for my room this year. New chairs to go with the new tables would renew this classroom and invite students to enjoy class more. Please help me make my room more comforting and enjoyable while the students learn math by helping me purchase office chairs.
