Flexible seating and activities can be instrumental in engaging all learners. The art room can be overwhelming for some students because of the flurry of activity that comes with art-making. The sensory input from a fluffy rug can help to calm and relax a student who may be feeling overstimulated. These students will benefit from being provided flexible seating and having a quiet part of the room where they can take a break. Choice can be an essential tool for helping students manage their behaviors and self-regulate. A wide range of manipulatives and sensory supplies like air-dry clay and foam blocks can help students focus and feel more confident in their abilities. Providing the options to build with magnetic blocks can be an important step in helping students find other materials they may want to use. Your donation will allow me to provide a space where students can go to regulate their emotions and become ready to participate in the classroom community and access the art curriculum.
