My Project

My students come with a variety of needs, some of which center around effectively calming their emotions and feeling comfortable and safe.

My students also love reading and crave comfortable, quiet spaces where they can get lost in a good book!

These cushions, chairs, and flexible seating options will provide them spaces not only to read but also to work in partnerships and small groups. I've found that when my kids are physically comfortable, and can choose that option, their work and their ability to work well with others improves greatly.
