Concentration! It's More than Just a Piece of Mind
Funded Sep 5, 2019
Thank you soooooo much for your contribution! This couldn't have come at a better time! We are able to start the school year concentrating and completing our learning goals. My students are excited and overwhelmed with appreciation and thankfulness. Your donation encourages them and allows them to stay focused. We will be sure to share our new gifts and how we use them in our learning environment with you. Many blessing to you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Quarles
This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and 7 other donors.

Headphones connected to our Chromebooks will allow students to be more engaged with the many online learning programs that we use in class such as Khan Academy, Reflex Math and Achieve3000. Reducing distractions in the classroom will help all my students concentrate. Concentration allows students to increase focus on the task at hand, create a quiet space free from interruption, and the opportunity to reflect on what they are doing. This will give my students the opportunity to increase learning and achievement. Research has shown that when children are able to concentrate it also increases self-regulation. Self-regulation also contributes to positive social behavior.
