How to Prepare Your Learning Space

We are big fans of making sure learners of all ages have spaces where they are comfortable and have what they need to stay in the zone of optimal learning. Here’s a short list of things you may want to put near you when ZOOMing with us this week.

Think of this as your “Things to pack” list:

Blankets, pillows, cushions
Bubbles (of course)
Essential oil diffuser, incense
Fans, pinwheels
Fidgets
Modeling clay, play dough, gak
Natural or mood lighting, lava lamps, sun lamps
Paper and colorful markers, pastels, and colored pencils
Snacks (crunchy, healthy, soothing)
Treadmill, standing desk, stationary bike
Yoga ball, mat, block, cushion
Water – or beverage of choice
What else can you think of that will make you even 10% more comfortable?
