My Project

This calming corner is a place for the students to go when they need to reset and have a few minutes alone to process and reset their mindset. It will be a calm place for behavior adjustments.

The rug would be wonderful so the kiddos don’t have to sit on the school carpet and for the added color.

The chairs are for students with physical disabilities who may not be able to sit on the floor.

The calming toys are to bring the student focus on a single object and to try to take a break as needed.

The wiggle seats help the students who find it difficult to sit still during class time.
