My Project

My students have sensory challenges and will thrive without having such bright lights distracting them. My classroom has no windows, so the scenery light covers will also help to give them the feel and comfort of the outside while learning.

The rug will allow the kids to be organized in their seating during morning circle time.

I will have 12 students who will be learning how to cope in their new middle school classroom, and I want to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. They are all great kids and simply deserve the best!
