My Project

The large bean bag chairs will be used in our classroom reading center for students to go to read, relax or just calm themselves. The chairs will serve as a place for students to go when they are feeling overwhelmed or at odds with their environment.

Many of the items will help students to focus and redirect their energy helping them to make more positive and productive choices.

So many times students are overwhelmed by a busy classroom, they just need to be able to find a quiet or calm area. When a student can do this and still be creative and productive is always a good thing. These items will help with these processes.
