My Project

I am an elementary special education teacher. I teach in an urban area in a resource room.

My students are a wonderful group of diverse 3rd, 4th and 5th graders that love coming to school.

Their learning styles vary. They have a variety of sensory needs and would benefit from sitting in an alternative to desks. Students can relax and focus in the tent, whether they are having a hard day and just need a quiet comfortable break or we choose to use the seated pads to gather and do small group reading (turn taking). The fidgets are always a great way to calm excess energy or nervousness!

All of these items would be such a wonderful, engaging attraction to our classroom.
