My Project

In our CES classroom, we prioritize meeting the diverse needs of our students when it comes to accessing the lesson. To ensure an optimal learning environment, we have established multiple learning spaces, one of which is the Zen Zone. Within the Zen Zone and its surrounding area, students have the option to comfortably sit and access the required materials.

To further enhance their focus during seated work, we provide various tools and resources such as fidgets.

Additionally, we offer the option of using a yoga ball as a seating alternative, as it encourages active sitting and helps students maintain their focus while accessing the material.

By offering these different materials and seating options, we aim to create an inclusive and stimulating learning environment that caters to the individual needs of our students, allowing them to thrive academically!
