Mindful Minute Room

Help me give my students a water table, pillows and a sand set, for a safe and comfortable place where they can self-regulate and manage their emotions.

My Project

As an SEL coach, I support educators with integrating SEL practices into their academic teaching and support students' development across the five areas of social and emotional competence.

For this project, I envision creating a physical space in my building, called "Peaceful Plaza," that prioritizes students' emotional health and supports students as they take ownership of regulating their emotions.

This space will be accessible to students who need time and strategies to regulate their emotions, ultimately helping them return to class feeling ready to learn.

Some of the items are sensory beads, a giant pillow, a pillow set, inspirational class posters, a motivational bulletin board set and a sand/water table and sand set. Thank you so much!
