Flexible Seating and Calming Lighting

Help me give my students some soft flexible seating options as well as some calming lighting for our sensory room!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sara Karcher's classroom raised $349

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please help my classroom improve our sensory room. We have a space available this year and it would be wonderful if we could add some flexible seating, rugs, and calming lighting to make the space more sensory friendly.

The purple and teal rugs would help us define spaces in the sensory room and the floor seats and saucer chair will give some flexible seating options.

This room will be a space for students to take a break from the classroom, reset when they are upset or as an incentive for good behavior.
