Waiting and Unwinding in the Office

Help me give my students a place to unwind & calm down when waiting in the office either to calm down, unwind, recharge or for a reward when doing a good job.

My Project

We would like to have an area set up in the front office for when students need a place to calm down, relax and recharge during the school day. And also an area for them to have something to do when they are waiting for a parent to pick them up during the day or after school. Some kids are not picked up in time and left sitting waiting in the office. This will give them some things to do while waiting. Some special ed students get to come to the office as a reward for doing a good job and can play with the special toys we have in the office. The students will love having a place with items that are educational and fun. Thank you!!
