Relax for a Minute, then get Ready to Learn

My Project

Today, students have so many stressors and those stressors are only exacerbated when students have learning and behavioral challenges like mine do. They can become so frustrated, they are unable to concentrate on classroom activities.

I’d like to create a space where my students can go to gather their thoughts, relieve a little stress, relax for a few minutes and then return to class activities refreshed and ready to learn.

The rugs, chairs, stress balls, and other materials will allow my students to take a short break, grab a stress ball, sit in a comfy chair and relax to clear their minds.

Please help give my students a chance to relax for a few minutes so they can learn for a lifetime!
