Help me give my students silicon chair covers to protect our brand new floors when they are moving their seats for small group learning, as well as things to teach about recycling and ecology.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
We recently discovered that our school (built in the 1950's) has asbestos in the floorboards! We have contracted out and installed new safer flooring which looks great and should last a good number of years. My plan is to get things for the classroom, such as cleaning supplies, chair footing covers, and classroom staples to improve the room and prevent the floor from getting scratched or marred when we move chairs or tables. I want to use this opportunity to teach my students about recycling and sustainability.
I want to use this opportunity to help this manufactured flooring last well beyond its expected lifetime and keep more plastic/linoleum/trash out of the local landfill.
We have students move their chairs when we break up into smaller reading and math groups and for some individual learning. I want to see the room looking as fresh and new as it was the day they finished the installation (which is LITERALLY the day before I write this!)
Nearly all students from low‑income households
