Students learn best when they feel safe, comfortable and familiar. The yoga pillows I chose will create an environment that will remind the refugees of home. The wobble chairs and balance balls will help my students be focused and engaged in their work. I will create a safe and comfortable space for reflective thinking, movement around the room, choice by students, and ease of collaboration are imperative for my students to become self-aware and focused learners. My learning space filled with floor cushions, small stools, and soft donut balls impacts and empowers my students to make choices and selects the environment that helps them learn best. I look forward to providing a learning environment that my students can choose what kind of learning space works best for them, and help them to work collaboratively, communicate, and engage in critical thinking. I am confident the students' grades will improve, will participate more, conduct more stimulating conversations, and will be happier and more engaged.
