Creating a Calm Space to Test Students

Help me give my students a comfortable space to test in. Testing sessions can last 10 mins up to 90 minutes. Sustained attention and focus is a huge factor in performance and my space is very bland.

My Project

My goal is to create a calm and safe environment separate from the hustle and bustle of the classroom. Because I do a lot of testing, I am hoping for comfort materials and zen like items that will help students focus and give me their best efforts during sessions. Sometimes we chunk our time and need breaks, to which fidget toys, zen sand, etc. come in to play! When students are given the flexibility to move from one task to another- but with interest- they’re willingness to participate is much higher.
