My Project

We need new benches and bookcases for the classroom.

The benches serve two purposes: they are the place where students have to go every time we transition from activity to activity.

It is an anchor place and it helps them know that we will be moving into the next place for a different activity. These benches also have much needed storage underneath the seats.

The bookcases will allow us to store new curriculum materials that will take a lot of space in our small classroom. We like to keep a harmonious classroom that does not seem cluttered with things, over stimulating and calming for my students with Autism. The white bookcases will help us achieve that goal.
