Dyslexia Interventionist seeking a Comfortable, Calming Classroom Environment

Help me give my students a calming classroom environment. I chose the boho colors because they are calming and inviting. Some days they need to decompress and the games will provide that, while still learning. Thanks for anything.

My Project

My vision is to use colors that are calming yet inviting. My room was painted white but it needs some color. I don't want loud colors that will distract my students. My goals are to provide them with things like new carpet that will help them keep their focus and help them with their dyslexia.

Slant boards help students whose words seem to move on pages.

My students are special because they want to be able to read aloud in class with confidence and I work hard to get them to this point.
