My Project

Students come to my room for social emotional lessons. While they are in my room, I want that time to be a break from the rest of their school day while still learning important social emotional skills. I want the environment to encourage conversation. I have lamps for different lighting. There is a large rug in the middle of the room. I have ball chairs, ottomans, and a couch. I also have rocker chairs which are by far the favorite place to sit for students. These chairs are also popular with individual students who come to my room to calm down or discuss ways to make better decisions.

The chairs have now given their all and need to be replaced.

Each time I have to get rid of one of them my students are so sad. Please help me replace the rocker chairs.
