Social-Emotional Learning & Meditation Room

Funded Nov 26, 2022

Since the Meditation Social-Emotional Learning room was created at PS 54, it has greatly helped our students thrive. Thanks to your generous donations, my students have discovered that they have a safe place to come whenever they feel they are in distress or need a calm and quiet space.

With your donations, I was able to purchase multiple sensory items that students use each day to help them cope with strong emotions. These items include; a sensory pod that acts as a hug, a beanbag chair, a weighted stuffed animal, a weighted blanket, a couch, squishy stress balls, a neck massager for sensory input, a galaxy light projector that creates a calm atmosphere, liquid fidgets that promote calm breathing, and a tent to help provide a quiet space to help students work through emotions. These therapeutic items support sensory input, provide deep pressure and alleviate feelings of anxiety.

My vision for this SEL room was to provide an open and welcoming space for our students to feel comfortable sharing feelings. Because of your donations, I was able to bring my vision to life and fully support my students emotional needs.”
