Today, the chairs in 1A officially QUIT! 🪑🚫

After receiving a very dramatic letter from our classroom chairs explaining that they were tired of being rocked on, dragged around and covered in crumbs, 1A had a very important job… convince them to come back!

We put our persuasive writing skills to the test, using strong language and convincing reasons to write letters to our disgruntled chairs.

Safe to say, learning was a little different without them… and we have a newfound appreciation for our hardworking classroom furniture!
