Help to Create a Meditation Area in the Classroom

Help me give my students a meditation area to guide them as they self-regulate their emotions throughout the school day!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Seow's classroom raised $343

This project is fully funded

My Project

We all experience stress, but as adults, we have many tools and resources to help us regulate our emotions. Our students, on the other hand, are new to many of these emotions and are trying to navigate them as well as cope with school.

This project will enable me to create a meditation area with posted guiding breathing and yoga poses on the magnetic board, a private area in a tent, and comfortable seating for students with the pillows to learn to self-regulate their emotions in a safe and quiet place.

The materials such as a side table and adhesive wallpaper will be used to decorate the area to create a quiet calm place.

Experiencing a pandemic and remote learning is something none of us experienced as children and we need to empathize with our students about the many stresses that come with those experiences.
