Cornell: Calming Chaos One Student at a Time!

Help me give my students students a place to regulate and relax while also having the benefits of learning as they go. Both the chairs and canopy will give my students a calming sense.

My Project

My classroom is all about regulating and listening to our emotions so that we can move forward with the day and be successful. In order for that to happen the chairs and canopy I hope to get are vital to achieving regulation. The chairs will give my students a way to be alone in their own space, while the canopy will give them the option to work together with others or independently. Again, in their own space. Having a specific calming space for my students is part of catering to their unique learning styles.
