They've been especially helpful for students with sensory needs or anxiety.\r\n\r\nOur new bean bag chair and wool rug created a cozy corner for reading, reflection, and calm-down time. It's now one of the most used areas of the classroom, where students feel safe and supported.\r\n\r\nThe mini easel pads have made group lessons and student brainstorming more interactive and engaging, while the clear cubby bins have helped keep our classroom tidy and teach students responsibility for their materials.\r\n\r\nOverall, these items have not only improved the function and flow of our space—they've brought joy, comfort, and calm to our daily routines.
