A Bean Bag Chair for the Brain Break Area.

Help me give my students new bean bag chair for our brain break area. I work with students in 6th and 7th grades self-contained classes and having a comfortable brain break area is essential for their wellbeing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cajoux's classroom raised $258

My Project

Students in self-contained classrooms often benefit from brain break areas designed to meet their sensory and emotional needs. Comfortable bean bag chairs provide a calming, flexible seating option that allows students to relax and self-regulate during breaks. The soft, supportive design helps reduce stress and offers a safe space for students to recharge, particularly those with sensory sensitivities or anxiety. These chairs accommodate various sitting positions, promoting comfort and adaptability for diverse needs. By creating a soothing environment, bean bag chairs contribute to better focus, improved emotional well-being, and increased readiness to learn when students return to classroom activities.
