Help Reduce the Extraneous Noise Level in the Classroom!

Help me give my students a quiet classroom environment so they can focus on learning new skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Staines's classroom raised $359

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom is a packed room of learners. There are 21 excellent students ready to take on 4th-grade learning adventures. The classroom is comprised of students with focus impairments and English Language Learners.

With all those busybodies, a lot of excessive noise is created by chairs screeching on the floor.

This impacts the working environment, creating unnecessary noise making it difficult to hear instructions, partners, and focus. Fuzzy Chair Gliders will reduce the background noise, developing students' "perfect classroom" where they experience uninterrupted learning daily! Learners will be able to hear instructions and partners and collaborate in groups. English Language Learners will be able to listen to the language adequately. Reduced noises will also help students focus on learning activities rather than get distracted by where such screeching noises are coming from, which, in this busy classroom of 21 growing bodies, will come from all around the room and frequently!
