A Safe Place to Pause, Reflect, and Grow
My office is a cozy, calm space where students can talk, take a break, and problem-solve. It's filled with books, a water fountain, art supplies, sensory tools, sand, calming lights, and comfortable seating options to help students feel at ease.
Expect to hear calming sounds in my office, such as slow-tempo instrumental music—classical, ambient, or lo-fi—as well as nature sounds like gentle rain, soft thunderstorms, or ocean waves. These soothing sounds help regulate the nervous system and reduce anxiety.
Check out the SAND TABLE! Working with sand can be a powerful sensory experience that helps reduce stress and encourages a calm, meditative state. It also supports creative problem-solving. Students can reshape scenes to imagine new endings, explore different perspectives, and experiment with possibilities, all while building resilience and adaptability
