My Project

We will use the canvases for students to design and paint masterpieces that will be displayed in our foyer. This will create a student-centered space that is welcoming for our families.

The magnetic tiles will be used for students to be creative, build, and design.

This is a calming and creative activity that will help our students to deescalate if needed and to engage their brain in a STEM activity.

The stress drops will enhance our calming space by giving students another option in how they choose to calm down and get their creative minds working!
