Calming Corner For SPED!

Help me give my students a calming, flex space corner in the classroom! Using the bean bags and canopy, I'll be able to create a sense of a safe space that is often overlooked in high school.

My Project

Students across the country suffered from the distance of remote learning, and then were thrust back into the classroom with little to no warning. While it's been a couple of years, there's still sometimes an adjustment period of being back in-person, and lack of resources in supporting students who have different sensory needs. Students need to continuously feel safe at school, and by creating a calming corner space in my classroom, it will not only boost emotional regulation, but also encourage furthering academic instruction by making them feel safe, calm, and comfortable.
