Sensational Seats

Help me give my students a sensory experience that calms and welcomes for well deserving students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nakama's classroom raised $709

My Project

The new seating and fidget tools will help students focus and learn by giving them comfortable options and ways to manage stress and fidgeting. Right now, the old cushions are falling apart because they are so well loved.

My goals are to enhance the calming corner to create a better place for students to:

* Calm down and manage their feelings.

* Focus and pay attention in class.

* Feel comfortable

My students are unique and have different needs. Many struggle with managing their feelings, and they work hard. They need a calming corner that's actually calming and helps them succeed.
