I am making a safe place for my students. I will use the canopy and the bean bags for the safe place. My students have had a rough year. I am their third teacher in the year and they do not trust anyone now. I feel that creating a safe place for them might create a little trust and I can start building a positive rapport with them. The safe place will be used as a calming down sanctuary. There will be calming down strategies and breathing techniques. They need to feel wanted. So, in a way is like a gift for them, but it will be used for so much more. The cushion seats will make their bodies rest and be more comfortable while seating and learning.
