Calming/Sensory Area

Help me give my students a calming/sensory corner in my classroom. I am asking for a modern casual sofa for my students to feel free to go to when they need a break from learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jackie's classroom raised $698

My Project

My students are all unique in their own special way. I teach special education pre-k students. Sometimes my students may get overwhelmed with learning and need a break. The modern casual sofa for this calming area is a place for my students to sit when they are needing a break from learning. Some of my students need a little extra sensory support and this is where the weighted puppy pal would benefit. This area will allow my students to learn emotional strategies.

They just need an area where they can sit and be alone to get in touch with their emotions.
