Recently, there has been an increased need for social-emotional learning and the importance of listening to our minds and bodies more.
At PS #16 we aim to meet all of our students’ needs both academically and emotionally.
Students and faculty all need a safe place to go when they feel overwhelmed or overstimulated.
The Zen Den is designed with the senses in mind. There are items that appeal to feelings and sensations aimed to help create a calming space. There are activities that can help to quiet the mind and body. This space also makes an ideal place for students who require a quiet place to test.
All are welcome.
The materials found in this room have been purchased using grant funding from
NJEA and Sustainable Jersey. We are thankful for their support!
