My students are amazing! They try really hard at their work and lessons. I want to provide them with a special place to relax and be calm. I want them to use this space for reading and also for a sensory break from math and writing.
A special place offers self direction and greater independence with learning.
A special place helps a student calm down when frustrated with a math problem. This is a special place to check out the puzzles and sensory games to relax the brain.
My students want to learn and achieve success.
Please help my students with this exciting project.
Half of students from low‑income households
