My Project

I teach an RSP class with students from TK-5th grade. Each student comes to class with their own abilities and needs. Having a calming area for my students will give them an opportunity to have a quiet space to read, relax and regroup.

Comfy bean bag chairs, calming music, calm stripes and books to read, will help my students prepare for a productive learning day.

Your support in providing this opportunity for my students will be greatly appreciated by the entire class. Thank you so much for supporting my students.
