Calm and Comfortable

Help me give my students some flexible seating with comfortable chairs as well as some opportunities to feel safe and calm in our classroom in moments where they might not feel at baseline.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schmitz's classroom raised $1,074

My Project

We are ready to embark on a new school year and I am excited to be able to support a group of students who may sometimes struggle to stay at baseline behaviorally. I want to be proactive and help them to both feel safe and comfortable in our classroom. The items on my list will allow students to access their education in alternative seating arrangements. They will also be able to choose items that will help them return to baseline when they are experiencing big feelings. I am looking forward to supporting my students next year in ways where they can feel successful.
