My Project

My students are the most caring and fun-loving students eager to learn. Due to the effects of COVID-19, most of these students are lacking in social skills. Most times they will have an emotional outburst, and my students need frequent breaks, these rocker chairs can help reduce stress, prevent autism meltdowns and calm kids who are experiencing panic attacks. I would also use these rocker chairs in my classroom library for when they want to relax and read a book. I also got a rocker chair with Bluetooth speakers for when they are on their computer and working on their reading app. These rocker chairs will help my students self-regulate and also provide a comfy spot to boost their reading fluency and build vocabulary words at the classroom library.
