My Project

My students come from all different kinds of families and homes. Sometimes the only safe place for these students is in the classroom because of this the students have a hard time adjusting to lack of chaos. These products will help me to build a quiet corner for my students so that they can take a break and regulate how they are feeling. The sensory toys are great and it gives the students a nice distraction and helps them learn to self regulate. The bean bag will offer them a comfortable space to sit while they regulate.
