My Project

Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component of motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They are more relaxed, which allows them to be more engaged and complete more work.

The products I have selected will help my students by providing them with a comfortable and relaxing learning environment.

e floor cushions will allow them to choose a spot around the classroom while reading. e stools are an excellent alternative for students who don't want to sit in a traditional chair. e chair bands will help get the wiggles out of my active students. T e lamps will provide soft lighting and help create a calm environment. T e earmuffs will help my students with sensory needs. Pens and pencils are a fun way to complete our activities.

My students thrive in a calm environment that provides tools to help with their sensory needs.

Mrs. Ferraton will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 2.
