Make the Classroom Comfortable

Help me give my students comfy chairs for those who are experiencing anxiety from returning to school after COVID.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. P.'s classroom raised $802

My Students

My students are Native Speakers of Spanish. Some are born here as first generation students and others come from around the world. I have had students from Venezuela, Colombia, Spain, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico...almost every Spanish speaking country. Some students also come from Dual Language classes and Spanish is not their first language and their parents do not speak Spanish.

They are rich in culture and experiences.

They are willing to share and help one another be successful in this country.

My Project

I am finding that when students come back to school from being virtual students they are feeling anxiety and they have a hard time sitting in traditional chairs. These chairs will allow students to enjoy being in the classroom. They need to feel as comfortable as being at home.

These new chairs would allow these children to feel comfortable in the classroom and to feel special.

They have had to be flexible during this past school year and this would allow them to continue to have that flexibility and give students comfort.
