My Project
The purpose of this project is to create a room for students to reduce stress, decrease agitation, aggressiveness, irritation, sadness, etc. This project will help fight against students feeling this way by providing a relaxing space in our MacArthur Media Center. The big Joe Milano gray plush bean bags will provide soft seating for the student. The Bush Furniture Salinas 30" 6-Shelf Cube Organizer with Adjustable Shelves, Reclaimed Pine Laminate will provide an area to house activities for the students to do while they are calming down. The Insignia - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with ENERGY STAR Certification - Black will hold waters and juice for the student to use. Studies show that drinking a bottle of water can help calm them down. The Arc Floor Lamps for Living Room, Modern Standing Lamp with Adjustable Hanging Drum Shade will provide a soft lighting in the safe area to provide an ambiance that will not be as harsh as ceiling lights. the Martha Stewart Brody Plastic Stackable Office Desktop Organizer with 2 Drawers, 2/Set and MaxGear 3 Pack Plastic Storage Baskets, Black, Medium (10 x 7.5 x 4 inches, 20 oz Capacity) will provide storage to hold the coloring books, fidget toys, and other items to help a student regain their thoughts. And finally we'll have the 3D Green Tree Wall Decals Leaves Wall Stickers DIY Removable Vinyl Big Trunk Wall Decal for for Kids Girls Boy Bedroom Living Room Nursery Rooms Home Classroom Offices TV Sofa Background to help provide a mural on one of the walls in the safe area. This will give something for our students to enjoy and be visually pleasing. We hope that this new area will help students regulate their feelings and get back on track for a positive day.
