My Project

I would like to provide a comfortable and cozy environment in which my students can go, to reduce their anxiety, relax and refocus on instructional activities.

The classroom can sometimes become overwhelming for students with special needs; a cozy area to take a break often calms and reduces the students' anxiety, refocus their minds and provides for a safe manageable learning experience.

The tent and the small rug will provide seclusion and comfort when needed in the cozy corner. The big run will be use for morning meetings and whole group activities. The bean bags will provide students with comfortable seating options in any atmosphere where they can feel relaxed and be engage in collaborative activities.
