Cozy, Comfy, Calming Environment for Creativity

Help me give my students a comfortable rug and alternative and adaptive seating choices.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Henderson's classroom raised $1,500

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would like to provide my students, both with disabilities and typically developing, a circle time rug where they can comfortably sit with out being in other students' space. I would like the children to be able to sit comfortably to enhance their learning experience.

The various forms of alternative and adaptive seating with help give students ownership in their education by providing them a choice as to how they sit while participating in circle time.

The large rug will provide students adequate space to use the different forms of seating and the tennis balls will help muffle the sounds of the traditional chairs as they are moved around.
