My Project

I am a first year special education teacher. I want my classroom to be a calming space as much as a positive learning environment. I would like to provide them with tools so that they are comfortable and ready to learn. I think the things that I am requesting will help keep the environment calm and peaceful which will allow my students to be able to focus. These things will allow my student to choose a comfortable space to work rather its on the carpet or table. My students are special because all though they have special needs i want them to feel special as well.
