My Project

My fourth graders are gems, but they cannot sit still.

Tennis balls on the chairs provides a quiet environment for students to learn in.

Our floors are 12 inch tiles and every time a students stands up or sits down the chairs scrape across the floor making an unbearable noise.

The noise is so distracting to everyone in the room. Sometimes the chair legs get stuck in between the tiles, which makes for even more distractions.

The tennis balls allows the chairs to glide quietly across the floor without causing a distraction.
