My Project

My students are enthusiastic learners. They are always ready to learn and explore different activities in and outside the classroom. Most of my students do their best to stay engaged during instruction time, but some have sensory needs yet to be met.

Having bean bags, floor chairs, and multi-sensory tools in our classroom will help students stay focused and engage more during instruction and independent work time.

These materials are a great help in supporting each student's needs and teaching them how to be safe and responsible while in class. Independent reading time will be more fun for them when they are comfortable seating on the bean bags, or instruction time will be more engaging when students can flexibly seat on the floor chairs.
