Brain Break/Mental Health Sensory Items

Funded Oct 30, 2024

My students and I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for funding our Brain Break mental health project.

Students were beyond excited to see classic favorites like play-doh, puzzles, fidgets, and coloring books to help focus during difficult Spanish lessons.

Each day since receiving them I've seen students pick out some fidget or focus devices and then use them to help focus on tasks at hand. When we have longer block class days, students will take short breaks to puzzle, play brain games, or use color/puzzle books to get back into the groove of learning.

I'll continue to stock brain break materials in our room moving forward to encourage this student engagement!”

With gratitude,
