Flexible Seating and Sensory Supports

Help me give my students a table for group work with flexible seating and some items for our sensory room.

My Project

I love that my students are so excited to come to class every day. My students are special because they find so much joy in the simplest things, and their smiles and giggles are contagious. They never stop amazing me with what they are capable of doing. They are growing physically, academically, and socially. Things that may come easily to others, or simple skills we may take for granted, all need to be learned, and practiced. My students never give up, and are always trying to show us what they can do.

Help me give these eager to learn, sweet, and funny kids a table to do small group work, with flexible seating options.

A horseshoe shaped table would allow us to sit together to learn, and practice social skills. These foam butterfly chairs would allow students to wiggle, and bounce, sit, or kneel at the table.

I would also love to give them a ball pit and some sensory lights for our sensory room. One of the sensory lights is a cube that changes color. It can be used as a chair or a table as well. The other light is a fake fish tank. It lights up as fish move around on a loop. Watching the cube change colors, or the fish swim about the talk help to calm.
