My Project

My students are amazing! They try really hard at their work and lessons. I want to provide them with a special place to relax and be calm. I want them to use this space for reading and also for a sensory break from math and writing.

A special place offers self direction and greater independence with learning.

A special place helps a student calm down when frustrated with a math problem. This is a special place to check out the puzzles and sensory games to relax the brain.

My students want to learn and achieve success.

Please help my students with this exciting project.
