My Project

As an Art teacher many students love to create. With that in mind some time student want place to focus when feeling overwhelmed in class.

I want to create a calm corner in the artroom where students can take breaks by sitting on the FelizMax Round Zafu cushions, redirect their feelings by using the color wheel tapestry chart while listening to music with AILIHEN Kids headphones.

They can also draw on a clipboard.

Thanks for your support and making students with disabilities have a place to go when feeling upset.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
