Students are already using the bean bag chairs and cushions to find a comrotable spot when they feel overwhelmed. Students are using the shape shifting boxes and fidgets to lower their anxiety and regain their focus during lessons. These resources have turned high energy moments into calm, productive opportunities for my kids to succeed.\r\n\r\nWe love our new books. They provide great inspiration and representation.
