This is something that my students use quite regularly which I am glad they are comfortable enough to advocate for themselves. When they first saw the box for the bookshelf and I explained what it was, they were ecstatic! I even had a few students help me unbox it and build it with me during dismissal! Another thing they were really excited about was the \"A Little Spot of Feelings\" book and the small plushies that came with it. Scribble was my personal favorite and theirs too!\r\n\r\nFor my next project, I am hoping to focus on either manipulatives or flexible seating.
