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

Hello! I am a K-6 music teacher at an inner city program. One issue I've come across in my classroom is that students are very limited with their seating. Right now, we have normal classroom chairs that just don't work for everyone when we do all our activities. They also take up a LOT of space in my classroom - space I'd rather have filled with instruments.

These stool will also work perfectly for our performances!

We can easily transport them, as they are lightweight - and we can easily sit them in the gym for performances or club time. Set up would just be so much easier with stools... rather than big classroom chairs that students struggle to stack on their own.

Finally, these stools will help me with classroom management! The chairs are big and heavy... students love to balance on them and dramatically fall off. My hope is that the stools will keep students in their seat, rather than messing with a chair throughout class. All around a win! Thank you so much for considering this project and taking time to read it through!
