Silent Chairs and Desks

Help me give my students tennis balls for their chair and desk bottoms, for a peaceful classroom so that they can feel free to move about without breaking the concentration of others.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My odyssey of learning thrive on a peaceful learning environment. That means moving about with grace and respect. Our beautiful classroom is charming, however, our desks and chairs are aging quickly. It is hard to concentrate when we get up to work as our chair legs scrape loudly on the floor causing a break in concentration. I'd love to muffle those sounds so that my students aren't taken away from their learning. These chair tennis balls will keep our chairs and desks quiet as we move about the learning environment and will help to not disrupt the flow of our day.
