My Project
As the school psychologist, I work with a diverse group of incredible students who face daily challenges—both academic and emotional. Many of our children come from high-stress backgrounds or experience social-emotional difficulties that impact their ability to focus, learn, and thrive in the classroom environment.
Students need a space that supports emotional regulation, sensory needs, and a sense of safety—a place where they can reset, reflect, and return to the classroom ready to engage.
With items like a jellyfish sensory lamp, social-emotional pillows, and emotions feeling posters, students will be able to name their emotions, understand their internal states, and begin using coping tools in a supportive environment. The felt board tiles and green vine wall decals will create a soothing, nature-inspired backdrop that reduces visual overstimulation. The beach-themed window wall sticker will reinforce the calming vibe—helping students visualize a place of peace and restoration. The bungee chairs and standing desk converter offer flexible seating options for students who may feel physically restless or overstimulated. A printer table will allow us to organize SEL materials and visuals, keeping the space functional and accessible for all students.
