In this area I have the tent. The tent has been a great addition and allows my students a safe place to go where they can 'hide'. \r\n\r\nMy students also like using the 'kick' bands for on their chairs. It gives them a way to move without being super distractive. They have also utilized the puzzle stress ball and the noise cancelling headphones.
