Quiet Please! Part 1

Help me give my students a quieter learning environment with tennis balls for their chairs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Saenz's classroom raised $167

My Project

Ever wonder what sounds worse than someone dragging their fingers down a chalkboard? We found it...its the sound of our classroom chairs being dragged along the tiled floor!

Students work better in a quieter environment.

Our classroom floors are beautiful 12x12 tiles. While our floors are great for helping students learn how to measure length, how to measure area and perimeter, they are awful to use with our metal chair legs. They create an awful sound every time a student moves. Please help me provide my students with a quieter learning environment.
